to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:

III

3.1          Exchange. In consideration of the execution of this Agreement and
the satisfaction of the obligations of each of the respective Parties hereunder,
and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and value of which is
hereby confirmed, Parker on the one hand, and Oxford on the other hand, shall
hereby fully, finally, and forever settle and release each other from any and
all claims, losses, fines, penalties, damages, demands, judgments, debts,

claims of every nature and kind whatsoever which they now or hereafter may have

the California Civil Code, which provides that:

"A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR
SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, AND WHICH IF
KNOWN BY HIM, MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR."

All rights under §1542 of the California Civil Code, as well as under any other
statutes or common law principles of similar effect, are hereby expressly,
fully, knowingly, intentionally and forever waived and relinquished by the
Parties. Each Party hereby acknowledges that each understands the significance
and consequences of such waiver under §1542 of the California Civil Code, and
that each had the opportunity to seek the advice of legal counsel of its choice.

3.3          Scope of Parker’s Release. Parker further expressly understands
that the rights being waived hereunder specifically include, but are not limited
to, any and all claims under (as any of the same may be amended from time to
time) Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964; Sections 1981 and 1983 of the
Civil Rights Act of 1866; Equal Pay Act; Americans with Disabilities Act; Age

age, pregnancy, veteran’s status, or any other protected status under any
federal or state statute; any federal, state or local law enforcing express or
implied employment contracts or covenants of good faith and fair dealing; any
federal, state or local laws providing recourse for alleged wrongful discharge
or constructive discharge, termination in violation of public policy, tort,
physical or personal injury, emotional distress, fraud, negligent
misrepresentation, defamation, and any similar or related claim; together with
any claim under any other local, state or federal law or constitution governing
employment, discrimination or harassment in employment, or the payment of wages
or benefits, whether or not now known, suspected or claimed, which Parker ever
had, now has, or may claim to have in the future as of the date of this
Agreement. This Agreement and the scope of the release by Parker hereunder
expressly includes any statutory claims, including, but not limited to, claims

none of the Released Claims has been assigned to any other person, and that no
other person has any interest in any of the Released Claims. In the event any

Party breaching this covenant shall fully defend and indemnify the Party against
whom such claim is asserted for any and all damages, costs, and fees of any
kind.

admission of liability or responsibility of either Party in respect to the
Claims.
