Exhibit 10.1

QUALITY SYSTEMS, INC.

FORM OF

CHANGE OF CONTROL SEVERANCE AGREEMENT

This Change of Control Severance Agreement (the “Agreement”) is made and entered
into by and between [●] (“Executive”) and Quality Systems, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the “Company”), effective as of the date of Executive’s signature
below (the “Effective Date”). If the Company does not receive a signed copy of
this Agreement from Executive by [●], 2016, this Agreement shall be without
force or effect.

RECITALS

1.    The Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors of
the Company (the “Board”) believes that it is in the best interests of the
Company and its stockholders (i) to assure that the Company will have the
continued dedication and objectivity of Executive, notwithstanding the
possibility, threat, or occurrence of a Change of Control and (ii) to provide
Executive with an incentive to continue Executive’s employment prior to a Change
of Control and to motivate Executive to maximize the value of the Company upon a
Change of Control for the benefit of its stockholders.

2.    The Committee believes that it is imperative to provide Executive with
certain severance benefits upon Executive’s termination of employment under
certain circumstances. These benefits will provide Executive with enhanced
financial security and incentive and encouragement to remain with the Company
notwithstanding the possibility of a Change of Control.

3.    Certain capitalized terms used in the Agreement are defined in Section 5
below.

AGREEMENT

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein, the
parties hereto agree as follows:

1.    At-Will Employment. The Company and Executive acknowledge that Executive’s
employment is and will continue to be at-will, as defined under applicable law.
As an at-will employee, either the Company or the Executive may terminate the
employment relationship at any time, with or without Cause.

2.    Change of Control Severance Benefits.

(a)    Termination without Cause or Resignation for Good Reason in Connection
with a Change of Control. If the Company terminates Executive’s employment with
the Company without Cause (and not for death or Disability) or if Executive
resigns from such employment for Good Reason, and, in each case, such
termination occurs during the Change of Control Period, then subject to
Section 3, Executive will receive the following:

(i)    Accrued Compensation. The Company will pay Executive all accrued but
unpaid vacation, expense reimbursements, wages, and other benefits due to
Executive under any Company-provided plans, policies, and arrangements.

(ii)    Severance Payment. Executive will receive a lump-sum payment (less
applicable withholding taxes) within thirty (30) days after the Release Deadline
equal to [●]% of the sum of the Executive’s annual base salary plus the
Executive’s target bonus, each at the level in effect immediately prior to
Executive’s termination date or, if greater, at the level in effect immediately
prior to the Change of Control.

(iii)    Pro-rated Bonus Payment. Executive will receive a lump-sum payment
within thirty (30) days after the latter of the Release Deadline and the date on
which Executive’s bonus would otherwise be payable had Executive remained an
active employee in an amount equal to the product of (a) the annual bonus, if
any, that Executive would have earned for the entire fiscal year in which
Executive separates from service with the Company, based on the level of
achievement of the applicable performance goals

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

for such year, excluding the impact of any expenses and charges incurred in
connection with the Change of Control, as determined in good faith by the
Committee, (or, in the discretion of the Company, Executive’s target annual
bonus for the fiscal year in which Executive separates from service with the
Company), multiplied by (b) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of
days the Executive was employed by the Company during the fiscal year in which
the termination date occurs and the denominator of which is the number of days
in such year. Any payment pursuant to this Section 2(a)(iii) shall be in lieu of
any annual bonus payment that Executive would otherwise receive for the year of
termination.

(iv)    Continuation Coverage. If Executive elects continuation coverage
pursuant to COBRA within the time period prescribed pursuant to COBRA for
Executive and Executive’s eligible dependents, then the Company will reimburse
Executive for the COBRA premiums for such coverage (at the coverage levels in
effect immediately prior to Executive’s termination) until the earlier of (A) a
period of [●]months from the date of termination or (B) the date upon which
Executive becomes covered under similar plans of a subsequent employer. The
reimbursements will be made by the Company to Executive consistent with the
Company’s normal expense reimbursement policy. Notwithstanding the first
sentence of this Section 2(a)(iv), if the Company determines in its sole
discretion that it cannot provide the foregoing benefit without potentially
violating, or being subject to an excise tax under, applicable law (including,
without limitation, Section 2716 of the Public Health Service Act), the Company
will in lieu thereof provide to Executive a taxable monthly payment, payable on
the last day of a given month, in an amount equal to the monthly COBRA premium
that Executive would be required to pay to continue Executive’s group health
coverage in effect on the termination of employment date (which amount will be
based on the premium for the first month of COBRA coverage), which payments will
be made regardless of whether Executive elects COBRA continuation coverage and
will commence on the month following Executive’s termination of employment and
will end on the earlier of (x) the date upon which Executive obtains other
employment or (y) the date the Company has paid an amount equal to [●]such
payments. For the avoidance of doubt, the taxable payments in lieu of COBRA
reimbursements may be used for any purpose, including, but not limited to
continuation coverage under COBRA, and will be subject to all applicable tax
withholdings.

(v)    Waiver of Repayment Obligations. All of Executive’s repayment obligations
(if any) with respect to new hire, signing or relocation bonuses from the
Company shall be irrevocably waived by the Company and such amounts shall be
deemed fully earned by Executive.

(vi)    Outplacement Benefits. The Company will offer Executive career
transition services provided by a third-party vendor selected by the Company, to
be paid for by the Company for 12 months following the Executive’s termination
date.

(vii)    Legal Fees. Within thirty (30) days after submission of an itemized
bill to the Company, the Company will reimburse Executive for up to $5,000 in
reasonable legal fees and expenses incurred within 12 months following the
Executive’s termination date (or the consummation of the Change of Control if
later) that are related to securities and tax law compliance issues arising from
Executive’s separation from service. For avoidance of doubt, no reimbursement
will be available under this Agreement for any legal fees and expenses relating
to a claim or other action arising from, or relating to, Executive’s employment
relationship with the Company, the termination of that relationship or this
Agreement, including any claim or other action against the Company or any of its
current or former officers, directors, employees, agents, investors, attorneys,
stockholders, administrators, affiliates, benefit plans, plan administrators,
insurers, trustees, divisions and subsidiaries and predecessor and successor
corporations and assigns.

(b)    Voluntary Resignation; Termination for Cause; Disability; Death. If
Executive’s employment with the Company terminates during the Change of Control
Period (i) voluntarily by Executive (other than for Good Reason), (ii) for Cause
by the Company or (iii) as a result of Executive’s Disability or death, then
Executive will not be entitled to receive severance or other benefits except for
those (if any) as may then be established under the Company’s then existing
severance and benefits plans and practices or pursuant to other written
agreements with the Company.

(c)    Exclusive Remedy. In the event of a termination of Executive’s employment
under the conditions set forth in Section 2(a) of this Agreement, the provisions
of Section 2 are intended to be and are exclusive and in lieu of any other
rights or remedies to

 

2

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

which Executive otherwise may be entitled, whether at law, tort, contract or in
equity, except for (i) the right to the payment of any accrued but unpaid wages,
as required by law, (ii) the right to the payment of any unreimbursed
reimbursable expenses and (iii) any additional rights applicable to Executive
under the Company’s Amended and Restated 1998 Stock Option Plan, Company’s
Second Amended and Restated 2005 Stock Option and Incentive Plan, the Company’s
2015 Equity Incentive Plan and all award agreements issued to Executive
thereunder. The Company, in its sole discretion, shall have the authority to
reduce Executive’s benefits under Section 2 of this Agreement, in whole or in
part, by any other termination benefits, pay in lieu of notice, or other similar
benefits payable to Executive by the Company pursuant to any applicable legal
requirement, including, without limitation, the Worker Adjustment and Retraining
Notification Act or comparable state law.

3.    Conditions to Receipt of Severance

(a)    Release of Claims Agreement. The receipt of any severance payments or
benefits (other than the accrued benefits set forth in Section 2(a)(i)) pursuant
to this Agreement is subject to Executive signing and not revoking a release of
claims in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Release”),
which must become effective and irrevocable no later than the latter of (i) the
sixtieth (60th) day following Executive’s termination of employment and (ii) the
consummation of a Change of Control (such latter date being the “Release
Deadline”). For avoidance of doubt, the Company may modify the form of the
required Release as is reasonably required to comply with changes in applicable
law. If the Release does not become effective and irrevocable by the Release
Deadline, Executive will forfeit any right to severance payments or benefits
under this Agreement. In no event will severance payments or benefits be paid or
provided until the Release actually becomes effective and irrevocable.

(b)    Confidential Information and Invention Assignment Agreements. Executive’s
receipt of any payments or benefits under Section 2 (other than the accrued
benefits set forth in Section 2(a)(i)) will be subject to Executive continuing
to comply with the terms of the [Proprietary Information and Inventions
Agreement/Agreement for Protection of Company Information], between the Company
and Executive, as such agreement may be amended from time to time.

(c)    Section 409A.

(i)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no severance
pay or benefits to be paid or provided to Executive, if any, pursuant to this
Agreement that, when considered together with any other severance payments or
separation benefits, are considered deferred compensation subject to and not
exempt from Section 409A of the Code, and the final regulations and any guidance
promulgated thereunder (“Section 409A”) (together, the “Deferred Payments”) will
be paid or otherwise provided until Executive has a “separation from service”
within the meaning of Section 409A. Similarly, no severance payable to
Executive, if any, pursuant to this Agreement that otherwise would be exempt
from Section 409A pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(9) will be
payable until Executive has a “separation from service” within the meaning of
Section 409A.

(ii)    It is intended that none of the severance payments under this Agreement
will constitute Deferred Payments but rather will be exempt from Section 409A as
a payment that would fall within the “short-term deferral period” as described
in Section 3(c)(iv) below or resulting from an involuntary separation from
service as described in Section 3(c)(iv) below. However, any severance payments
or benefits under this Agreement that would be considered Deferred Payments will
be paid on, or, in the case of installments, will not commence until, theRelease
Deadline, or, if later, such time as required by Section 3(c)(iii). Except as
required by Section 3(c)(iii), any installment payments that would have been
made to Executive during the period immediately following Executive’s separation
from service but for the preceding sentence will be paid to Executive on the
Release Deadline following Executive’s separation from service and the remaining
payments will be made as provided in this Agreement. In any case where
Executive’s separation from service and the Release Deadline fall in two
separate calendar years, any amount required to be paid to Executive that is
conditioned on the effectiveness of the Release and is treated as a Deferred
Payment shall be paid in the later calendar year.

 

3

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(iii)     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if
Executive is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A at the
time of Executive’s termination (other than due to death), then the Deferred
Payments, if any, that are payable within the first six (6) months following
Executive’s separation from service, will become payable on the first payroll
date that occurs on or after the date six (6) months and one (1) day following
the date of Executive’s separation from service. All subsequent Deferred
Payments, if any, will be payable in accordance with the payment schedule
applicable to each payment or benefit. Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, if Executive dies following Executive’s separation from service, but
before the six (6) month anniversary of the separation from service, then any
payments delayed in accordance with this paragraph will be payable in a lump sum
as soon as administratively practicable after the date of Executive’s death and
all other Deferred Payments will be payable in accordance with the payment
schedule applicable to each payment or benefit. Each payment and benefit payable
under this Agreement is intended to constitute a separate payment under Section
1.409A-2(b)(2) of the Treasury Regulations.

(iv)    Any amount paid under this Agreement that satisfies the requirements of
the “short-term deferral” rule set forth in Section 1.409A-1(b)(4) of the
Treasury Regulations will not constitute Deferred Payments for purposes of
clause (i) above. Any amount paid under this Agreement that qualifies as a
payment made as a result of an involuntary separation from service pursuant to
Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii) of the Treasury Regulations that does not exceed the
Section 409A Limit (as defined below) will not constitute Deferred Payments for
purposes of clause (i) above.

(v)    The foregoing provisions are intended to comply with the requirements of
Section 409A so that none of the severance payments and benefits to be provided
hereunder will be subject to the additional tax imposed under Section 409A, and
any ambiguities herein will be interpreted to so comply. The Company and
Executive agree to work together in good faith to consider amendments to this
Agreement and to take such reasonable actions which are necessary, appropriate
or desirable to avoid imposition of any additional tax or income recognition
before actual payment to Executive under Section 409A.

4.    Limitation on Payments. In the event that the severance and other benefits
provided for in this Agreement or otherwise payable to Executive (i) constitute
“parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, and
(ii) but for this Section 4, would be subject to the excise tax imposed by
Section 4999 of the Code, then Executive’s benefit under Section 3 and under any
such other agreement (including any employment agreement or equity award
agreement under the Company’s Amended and Restated 1998 Stock Option Plan,
Company’s Second Amended and Restated 2005 Stock Option and Incentive Plan or
the Company’s 2015 Equity Incentive Plan) will be either:

(a)    delivered in full, or

(b)    delivered as to such lesser extent which would result in no portion of
such benefits being subject to excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code as
determined by the Firm.

whichever of the foregoing amounts, taking into account the applicable federal,
state and local income taxes and the excise tax imposed by Section 4999, results
in the receipt by Executive on an after-tax basis, of the greatest amount of
benefits, notwithstanding that all or some portion of such benefits may be
taxable under Section 4999 of the Code. If a reduction in severance and other
benefits constituting “parachute payments” is necessary so that benefits are
delivered to a lesser extent, reduction will occur in the following order:
(i) reduction of cash payments; (ii) cancellation of awards granted “contingent
on a change in ownership or control” (within the meaning of Code Section 280G),
(iii) cancellation of accelerated vesting of equity awards; (iv) reduction of
employee benefits. In the event that acceleration of vesting of equity award
compensation is to be reduced, such acceleration of vesting will be cancelled in
the reverse order of the date of grant of Executive’s equity awards.

Unless the Company and Executive otherwise agree in writing, any determination
required under this Section 4 will be made in writing by the Company’s
independent public accountants immediately prior to a Change of Control or such
other person or entity to which the parties mutually agree (the “Firm”), whose
determination will be conclusive and binding upon Executive and the Company. For
purposes of making the calculations required by this Section 4, the Firm may
make reasonable assumptions and approximations concerning applicable taxes and
may rely on reasonable, good faith interpretations concerning the application of
Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code. The Company and Executive will furnish to
the Firm such information and documents as the Firm may reasonably request in
order to make a determination under this Section. The Company will bear all
costs the Firm may incur in connection with any calculations contemplated by
this Section 4.

securities by the Company, and after such share acquisition, the Subject Person
becomes the Owner of any additional voting securities that, assuming the

commencing on the Effective Date. This Agreement will renew automatically for
additional one (1) year terms each anniversary of the Effective Date, unless
either party provides the other party with written notice of non-renewal at
least two (2) months prior to the date of automatic renewal. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, upon the first Change of Control to occur, the term of this Agreement

resolve by final and binding arbitration any and all claims or controversies in
any way arising out of, relating to or associated with Executive’s employment
with the Company or any of its parents, affiliates, or subsidiaries, or the
termination of such employment or any breach of this Agreement. This mutual
agreement to arbitrate includes any claims that the Company may have against
Executive, or that Executive may have against the Company or against any of its
officers, directors, employees, agents, successors, or parent, subsidiary, or
affiliated entities. The Company and Executive agree that arbitration, as
provided for in this Agreement, shall be the exclusive forum for the resolution
of any covered dispute between the parties. The Company and Executive agree that
their mutual agreement to arbitrate shall constitute sufficient consideration by
each party for the promises made in this Section 10.

(b)     Scope of Agreement. The claims covered by this Section 10 include, but
are not limited to, claims for breach of any contract or covenant, express or
implied; claims for breach of any fiduciary duty or other duty owed to Executive

Company shall be sent to the Executive at the Executive’s address as reflected
on the Company’s personnel records. Any arbitration shall be conducted before a
single arbitrator of JAMS under the Employment Arbitration Rules and Procedures
(the “Rules”) of JAMS then in effect. You can obtain a copy of the Rules on the
website of JAMS, which is www.jamsadr.com. JAMS has previously maintained the
Rules at this URL: http://www.jamsadr.com/rules-employment-arbitration. The
arbitration will be conducted in Orange County, California, and Executive and
the Company consent to jurisdiction in

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

California and venue in Orange County, California. If Executive is making a
claim, the Company will pay any arbitration filing fee in excess of the amount
Executive would have been required to pay (if any) to file the claim in court,
and the Company will pay all of the arbitrator’s fees and other arbitration
expenses. If the Company is making a claim, the Company will pay all filing fees
and all expenses of the arbitration, including the arbitrator’s fees. Each party
shall bear its, his, or her own costs of legal representation; provided,
however, if any party prevails on a claim entitling the prevailing party to
attorneys’ fees and/or costs, the arbitrator may award reasonable fees and/or
costs to the prevailing party in accordance with such claim. The arbitrator
shall have the authority to order such discovery by way of deposition,
interrogatory, document production, or otherwise, as the arbitrator considers
necessary to a full and fair exploration of the issues in dispute, consistent
with the expedited nature of arbitration. The arbitrator shall issue a written
decision that reveals the essential findings and conclusions on which the
decision is based, and the arbitrator’s decision shall be subject to such
judicial review as is provided by law. The mutual agreement to arbitrate claims
as set forth in this Section 10 is enforceable under and governed by the Federal
Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq. (the “FAA”), but if the FAA is held not to
apply to this Agreement for any reason, this mutual agreement to arbitrate
claims shall be enforced under the laws of the State of California.

(d)     Administrative Relief. This Section 10 does not limit Executive’s right
to file an administrative charge with the National Labor Relations Board
(“NLRB”), the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (“EEOC”), or any state
agency charged with enforcement of fair employment practice laws, but Executive
agrees to arbitrate under this Agreement all rights to any form of recovery or
relief, including monetary or other damages. This agreement also does not apply
to or cover claims for workers’ compensation benefits or compensation, claims
for unemployment compensation benefits, or claims based upon an employee pension
or benefit plan the terms of which contain an arbitration or other non-judicial
dispute resolution procedure, in which case the provisions of such plan shall
apply.

(e)     Voluntary Nature of Agreement. Executive acknowledges and agrees that
Executive is executing this Agreement voluntarily and without any duress or
undue influence by the Company or anyone else. Executive further acknowledges
and agrees that Executive has carefully read this Agreement and that Executive
has asked any questions needed for Executive to understand the terms,
consequences and binding effect of Section 10 of this Agreement and fully
understands it, including that EXECUTIVE EXPLICITLY WAIVES THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY
JURY. Finally, Executive agrees that Executive has been provided an opportunity
to seek the advice of an attorney of Executive’s choice before signing this
Agreement.

11.     Miscellaneous Provisions.

(a)    No Duty to Mitigate. Executive will not be required to mitigate the
amount of any payment contemplated by this Agreement, nor will any such payment
be reduced by any earnings that Executive may receive from any other source.

(b)    Waiver. No provision of this Agreement will be modified, waived or
discharged unless the modification, waiver or discharge is agreed to in writing
and signed by Executive and by an authorized officer of the Company (other than
Executive). No waiver by either party of any breach of, or of compliance with,
any condition or provision of this Agreement by the other party will be
considered a waiver of any other condition or provision or of the same condition
or provision at another time.

(c)    Headings. All captions and section headings used in this Agreement are
for convenient reference only and do not form a part of this Agreement.

(d)    Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the
parties hereto and supersedes in their entirety all prior representations,
understandings, undertakings or agreements (whether oral or written and whether
expressed or implied) of the parties with respect to terms and conditions
related to a termination of Executive’s employment. Notwithstanding the
immediately preceding sentence, this Agreement does not supersede any terms or
conditions of the Company’s Amended and Restated 1998 Stock Option Plan,
Company’s Second Amended and Restated 2005 Stock Option and Incentive Plan, the
Company’s 2015 Equity Incentive Plan and all award agreements issued to
Executive thereunder, except for Section 4’s superseding provisions related to
treatment of parachute payments.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(e)    Choice of Law. The validity, interpretation, construction and performance
of this Agreement will be governed by the laws of the State of California (with
the exception of its conflict of laws provisions). Any claims or legal actions
by one party against the other arising out of the relationship between the
parties contemplated herein (whether or not arising under this Agreement) will
be commenced or maintained in any state or federal court located in the
jurisdiction where Executive resides, and Executive and the Company hereby
submit to the jurisdiction and venue of any such court.

(f)    Severability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision or
provisions of this Agreement will not affect the validity or enforceability of
any other provision hereof, which will remain in full force and effect.

(g)    Withholding. All payments made pursuant to this Agreement will be subject
to withholding of applicable income, employment and other taxes.

(h)    Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of
which will be deemed an original, but all of which together will constitute one
and the same instrument.

5.    [California Civil Code Section 1542. Executive acknowledges that Executive

expressly waive any rights Executive may have thereunder, as well as under any
other statute or common law principles of similar effect.

OR

Unknown Claims. Executive acknowledges that Executive has been advised to
consult with legal counsel and that Executive is familiar with the principle
that a general release does not extend to claims that the releaser does not know
or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release,
which, if known by him or her, must have materially affected his or her
settlement with the releasee. Executive, being aware of this principle, agrees
to expressly waive any rights Executive may have to that effect, as well as
under any other statute or common law principles of similar effect.]3

Company or any of the other Releasees. Executive confirms that Executive has no
knowledge of any wrongdoing involving improper or false claims against a federal
or state governmental agency, or any other wrongdoing that involves Executive or
any other present or former Company employees, including violations of the
federal and state securities laws.

7.    Sufficiency of Consideration. Executive hereby acknowledges and agrees
that Executive has received good and sufficient consideration for every promise,
duty, release, obligation, agreement and right contained in this Release.

and proprietary information, which agreement will continue in force; provided,
however, that as to any provisions regarding solicitation of employees contained

solicitation of employees contained in this Agreement, the provisions of this
Agreement will control.

9.    Return of Company Property; Passwords and Password-protected Documents.
Executive confirms that Executive has returned to the Company in good working
order all keys, files, records (and copies thereof), equipment (including, but
not limited to, computer hardware, software and printers, wireless handheld
devices, cellular phones and pagers), access or credit cards, Company
identification, and any other Company-owned property in Executive’s possession
or control. Executive further confirms that Executive has cancelled all accounts
for Executive’s benefit, if any, in the Company’s name, including, but not
limited to, credit cards, telephone charge cards, cellular phone and/or pager
accounts and computer accounts. Executive also confirms that Executive has
delivered all passwords in use by Executive at the time of Executive’s
termination, a list of any documents that Executive created or of which
Executive is otherwise aware that are password-protected, along with the
password(s) necessary to access such password-protected documents.

10.    No Cooperation. Subject to Section 12 of this Agreement, Executive agrees
that Executive will not knowingly encourage, counsel, or assist any attorneys or
their clients in the presentation or prosecution of any disputes, differences,
grievances, claims, charges, or complaints by any third party against any of the
Releasees, unless under a subpoena or other court order to do so or as related
directly to the ADEA waiver in this Agreement. Executive agrees both to
immediately notify the Company upon receipt of any such subpoena or court order,
and to furnish, within three (3) business days of its receipt, a copy of such
subpoena or other court order. If approached by anyone for counsel or assistance
in the presentation or prosecution of any disputes, differences, grievances,
claims, charges, or complaints against any of the Releasees, Executive will
state no more than that Executive cannot provide any such counsel or assistance.

agrees that Executive will not in any way, directly or indirectly, do or say
anything at any time which disparages the Company, its business interests or
reputation, or that of any of the other Released Parties.

nothing in this Agreement or the Confidentiality Agreement shall (a) prohibit

Administration, the Securities and Exchange Commission or any other comparable
federal agency, state agency or securities regulatory body (the “Government

an appropriate Government Agency in a confidential manner without notice to the
Company as authorized in any whistleblower protection provisions of any federal
or state law or regulation; or (c) limit Executive’s lawful opportunity to

that may be conducted by a Government Agency. With respect to any information
disclosed pursuant to this protected activity exception that may constitute
confidential or proprietary information, Executive agrees to take all reasonable
precautions to prevent any unauthorized use or disclosure to any parties other
than the relevant agency or authority. Except as prohibited by applicable law,
rule, or regulation, the payments paid to pursuant to the Change of Control
Agreement will be the sole monetary relief available to Executive, and Executive
will not be entitled to recover, and agrees to waive, any additional personal
monetary relief that may be sought from or awarded against the Company in the
future without regard to who filed or brought such claim. However, this
Agreement does not waive Executive’s right to receive an award for original
information from any Government Agency, including but not limited to any such
award pursuant to Section 21F of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

13.     No Admission of Liability. Executive understands and acknowledges that
this Agreement constitutes a compromise and settlement of any and all actual or
potential disputed claims by Executive. No action taken by the Company hereto,
either previously or in connection with this Agreement, will be deemed or
