operational, financial, business or other affairs and activities of the Employer, their officers, directors or employees and the entities with which they have business relationships, except (i) as may be necessary to the performance of Executive’s duties with the Employer, (ii) with the Parent’s express written consent, (iii) to the extent that any such information is in the public domain other than as a result of Executive’s breach of any of obligations hereunder, or (iv) where required to be disclosed by court order, subpoena or other government process and, in such event, Executive shall cooperate with the Employer in attempting to keep such information confidential.

 

Section 3.3                                      Non-Compete.   During the Term, Executive, without the prior written permission of the Parent, shall not, directly or indirectly, (i) enter into the employ of or render any services to any person, engaged in a Competitive Business; or (ii) become associated with or interested in any Competitive Business as an individual, partner, shareholder, member, creditor, director, officer, principal, agent, employee, trustee, consultant, advisor or in any other relationship or capacity.  This section 3.3 shall not prevent Executive from owning common stock in a publicly traded corporation which owns or manages a casino provided Executive does not take an active role in the ownership or management of such corporation and his ownership interest represents less than 3% of the voting securities and/or economic value of such corporation.

 

Section 3.4                                      Non-Solicitation — Employees.   By executing this Agreement, Executive acknowledges that he understands that the Employer’s ability to operate its business depends upon its ability to attract and retain skilled people and that the Employer has and will continue to invest substantial resources in training such individuals.  Therefore, during the Term and for two years thereafter (the “Restricted Period”), Executive shall not, without the prior written permission of the Parent, directly or indirectly solicit, employ or retain, or have or cause any other person or entity to solicit, employ or retain, any person who is employed or is providing personal services to the Employer.

 

Section 3.5                                      Non-Solicitation — Vendors.   By executing this Agreement, Executive acknowledges that he understands that the Employer’s ability to operate its business depends upon its ability to attract and retain vendors and patrons.  Therefore, during the Restricted Period, Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, solicit, contact, interfere with, or endeavor to entice away from the Employer any of its current or potential vendors or any such persons or entities that were vendors of the Employer within the one year period immediately prior to Executive’s termination of employment.

 

Section 3.6                                      Non-Disparage.   The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that during the Term and for all time thereafter that they will not defame or publicly criticize the services, business, integrity, veracity or personal or professional reputation of the other party in either a professional or personal manner.

 

Section 3.7                                      Blue-Pencil.   If, at any time, the provisions of this Agreement shall be determined to be invalid or unenforceable under any applicable law, by reason of being vague or unreasonable as to area, duration or scope of activity, this Agreement shall be considered divisible and shall become and be immediately amended to only such area, duration and scope of activity as shall be determined to be reasonable and enforceable by the court or other body having

jurisdiction over the matter and Executive and the Employer agree that this Agreement as so amended shall be valid and binding as though any invalid or unenforceable provision had not been included herein.

                                                Section 4.5                                      Release of Claims by the Parent.   Subject to the provisions of the Agreement and subject to Executive not exercising his revocation rights hereunder, the Parent and each Employer hereby irrevocably and unconditionally releases, waives and fully and forever discharges Executive, from and against any and all claims, liabilities, obligations, covenants, rights, demands and damages of any nature whatsoever, whether known or unknown, anticipated or unanticipated, arising from, by reason of or in any way related to any transaction, event or circumstance which occurred or existed prior to and including the date of this Agreement arising out of or in any way related to Executive’s employment with any Employer or the termination thereof.  Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph, nothing in this waiver or release shall be construed to constitute any release or waiver by any Employer of its rights or claims against Executive arising out of or referred to in the Agreement or any fraudulent acts engaged in by Executive while in the course of his employment.

Executive acknowledges that:

(a)          He has read and understands the terms of this Agreement and has voluntarily agreed to these terms without coercion or undue persuasion by the Parent or any officer, director or other agent thereof;

(b)         He has been encouraged by the Parent to seek, and has sought and received, competent legal counsel in his review and consideration of this Agreement and its terms; and

(c)          This Agreement does not purport to waive, and does not waive, any rights Executive may have which arise after the Effective Date.

 

ARTICLE VIII                                                                     WAIVER OF SOVEREIGN IMMUNITY

 

                                                Section 8.1                                      The Parent grants a waiver of its sovereign immunity from suit exclusively to Executive (and his estate in the event of his death) for the purpose of enforcing Sections 2.1, 2.2, 3.6, 4.5 and Article V of this Agreement, or permitting or compelling arbitration and other remedies as provided herein.  This waiver is solely for the benefit of the aforesaid parties and for no other person or entity.  For this limited purpose, the Parent consents to be sued solely with respect to the enforcement of any decision by an arbitrator relating to this Agreement in the United States District Court for the Western District of New York.

 

                                                Section 8.2                                      The Parent hereby waives any requirement of exhaustion of tribal remedies, and agrees that it will not present any affirmative defense in any dispute based on any alleged failure to exhaust such remedies.  Without in any way limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Parent expressly authorizes any governmental authorities who have the right and duty under applicable law to take any action authorized or ordered by any court, to take such action, including, without limitation, repossessing any property and equipment subject to a security interest or otherwise giving effect to any judgment entered; provided, however that the Parent does not hereby waive the defense of sovereign immunity with respect to any action by third parties.

 

                                                Section 8.3                                      The Parent’s waiver of immunity from suit is irrevocable and specifically limited to the remedies provided this Agreement.  Any monetary award related to any such action shall be satisfied solely from the net income of the Parent.

                                                Section 8.4                                      Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, this waiver is to be interpreted in a manner consistent with the Parent’s ability to enter into this Agreement, including, without limitation, this Section 8, as provided in the Charter of the Parent, as it may be amended from time to time.  Accordingly, the Nation shall not be liable for the debts or obligations of the Parent, and the Parent shall have no power to pledge or encumber the assets of the Nation.  Furthermore, this Section 8 does not constitute a waiver of any immunity of the Nation or a delegation to the Parent of the power to make any such waiver. This Section 8 shall be strictly construed with a view toward protecting the Nation’s assets from the reach of creditors and others.
