consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained, the parties hereto,
intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows.

1.TERM. The term of this Agreement (the “Term”) shall commence on August ____,
2017 (the “Effective Date”) and shall continue until the earlier of (i) two (2)

provisions of this Section 2.
a.    Termination By The Company With Cause. The Company may terminate the
Executive’s employment with Cause immediately upon written notice, subject to
the terms of this Section 2(a). Upon termination of the Executive’s employment
with the Company with Cause, except with respect to accrued but unpaid base

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

b.    Termination By The Executive. The Executive may terminate the Executive’s
employment by providing the Company with sixty (60) days’ written notice (the
sixty (60) day period described in this Section 2(b) and Section 2(c) below is
referred to as the “Notice Period”). In the event the Executive provides notice
to the Company under this Section 2(b), and regardless of whether the Company
terminates the Executive prior to the expiration of the Notice Period, the
Executive shall be eligible to receive during the Notice Period (i) the
Executive’s current base salary and (ii) continuation of health benefits
normally offered to the Executive at the active employee rate, for the portion
of time that the Executive is actively working or, if terminated, benefits will
continue through the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985
(COBRA) and the cost of COBRA will be at the active employee rate for the
balance of the Notice Period or, if applicable, the Company will provide a
taxable reimbursement in an amount equal to the employer portion of the premiums
for such health benefits for the balance of the Notice Period; upon completion
of the Notice Period the Executive may continue COBRA coverage for the remainder
of the applicable statutory period at the COBRA rate in effect at the time. The
Executive will not earn or be eligible for, and the Company shall not be
obligated to pay the Executive, any other compensation, including any annual
bonus or other amounts provided herein. The Company shall have no further
liability or obligation whatsoever to the Executive except that (i) any vested
but unpaid amounts (e.g., deferred compensation) will be treated in accordance
with the applicable plan terms, (ii) equity awards will be treated in accordance
with their terms, and (iii) executive remains eligible for COBRA coverage in
accordance with applicable law.
c.    Termination By The Company Without Cause. The Company may terminate the
Executive’s employment without Cause at any time upon sixty (60) days’ notice or
payment in lieu of all or any portion of the Notice Period Upon a termination by
the Company of the Executive without Cause, and in consideration for and subject
to the Executive signing a general waiver and release of claims provided by the
Company, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, and ongoing
compliance with the restrictive covenants set forth in Sections 3 and 4 of this
Agreement, the Executive will be entitled to receive severance payments and
benefits equal to:
(i)    A lump sum payment equal to the Executive’s Salary and Bonus (as defined
below) for the Severance Period (as defined below), payable in cash. The term
“Salary and Bonus” means (A) the Executive’s monthly salary at the rate in
effect immediately before the Termination Date, plus (B) the amount of the
annual Bonus (as defined below) paid or granted to the Executive for the prior
fiscal year (or, if no Bonus has been paid or granted for the prior fiscal year,
the Bonus paid or granted for the most recent fiscal year for which a Bonus was
paid or granted) divided by twelve (12). The “Severance Period” is twelve (12)
months; provided, however, that if any portion of the Notice Period is worked by
the Executive or payment in lieu of a portion or all of the Notice Period is
provided, the Executive will receive twelve (12) months of Salary and Bonus,
reduced by any amount of salary paid to the Executive with respect to the Notice
Period (i.e. the total amount provided to the Executive following the beginning
of

2

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

the Notice Period will be equal to twelve (12) months of Salary and Bonus). For
purposes of this Agreement, the term “Bonus” means the full annual incentive
amount, expressed as a dollar amount, that is awarded to the Executive for the
applicable year based on performance, which may be payable in a combination of
cash and equity grants.
(ii)    Continuation of health benefits at the active employee rate through
COBRA or, if applicable, taxable reimbursement in an amount equal to the
employer portion of the premiums for such health and welfare benefits for twelve
(12) months after the Termination Date.
(iii)    An annual Bonus for the year in which the Termination Date occurs,
based on attainment of the applicable objective performance goals according to
the terms of the annual bonus plan, which shall be pro-rated based on the number
of days worked during the termination year through the end of the Notice Period
(without regard to whether pay is provided in lieu of all or a portion of the
Notice Period). The Bonus for the year in which the Termination Date occurs
shall be calculated in a manner similar to that used for similarly situated
executives of the Company (determined as if the Executive’s employment had not
terminated). The prorated Bonus under this subsection (iii) shall be paid in
cash at the same time that Bonuses are paid to employees for the year in which
the Termination Date occurs.
(iv)     If the annual Bonus earned for the year prior to the year in which the
Termination Date occurs has not yet been paid, such annual Bonus shall be paid
to the Executive in cash at the same time as Bonuses are paid to employees for
such year.
(v)     Continued vesting of the Executive’s time- and performance-based
restricted stock and restricted stock unit awards pursuant to their existing
vesting schedules. To the extent the Company has a tax withholding obligation
(relating to income, employment and/or social security taxes) with respect to
one or more unvested awards as of the Termination Date, a sufficient number of
the Executive’s time-based awards will be deemed to vest and may be sold to
cover the minimum applicable tax withholding tax liability, provided that such
vesting and sale does not have adverse consequences under IRC Section 409A and
is otherwise permitted by applicable law, and subject to the provisions of the
Company’s insider trading policy. Continued vesting means that the awards will
no longer be subject to the requirement of continued service, but (i) any
performance-based awards will continue to be subject to vesting based on
attainment of performance goals, (ii) except as provided above with respect to
tax withholding, the shares subject to the awards may not be transferred until
the specified vesting dates in the applicable award agreements, and (iii) the
awards will be subject to forfeiture pursuant to the Company’s Clawback Policy
or in the event of a breach by the Executive of any restrictive covenants under
this

3

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

Agreement or under any other agreement with the Company or a member of the
Company Group.
d.    Payments. The severance payment set forth in Section 2(c)(i) shall be paid
in a lump sum payment within 60 days following the Termination Date, subject to
expiration of the statutory rescission period for signing the release and waiver
of claims. The COBRA reimbursement set forth in Section 2(c)(ii) shall be paid
in accordance with customary payroll practices over the 12 month period
following the Termination Date and shall commence within 60 days following the
Termination Date, subject to expiration of the statutory rescission period for
signing the release and waiver of claims; provided that the first payment shall
include any amounts that would have otherwise been paid in accordance with
customary payroll practices during the period between the Termination Date and
the first payment date. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 2(d), if
the foregoing release and waiver period following the Termination Date spans two
calendar years and if required by Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended (the “Code”), payments shall not commence until the later
calendar year.
e.    Termination By The Executive for Good Reason. The Executive may terminate
employment for Good Reason, as described in this Section 2(e). Upon a
termination for Good Reason, and in consideration for and subject to the
Executive signing a general waiver and release of claims provided by the
Company, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, and ongoing
compliance with the restrictive covenants set forth in Sections 3 and 4 of this
Agreement, the Executive will be entitled to receive the severance payments and
benefits described in Section 2(c) above. The term “Good Reason” means the
occurrence of one or more of the following without the Executive’s consent,
other than on account of Executive’s inability to perform his or her duties on
account of mental or physical disability:
(i)    A material reduction of the Executive’s aggregate annual compensation,
including, without limitation, base salary and annual bonus and other incentive
compensation opportunity, from that in effect immediately prior to the
commencement of employment by the Company’s new permanent CEO, if such reduction
is not related to either individual or corporate performance.
(ii)    A material change in the geographic location at which the Executive must
perform services for the Company (which, for purposes of this Agreement, means a
change in Executive’s principal place of employment by 50 or more miles,
provided that such relocation materially increases the time of the Executive’s
commute as compared to the Executive’s commute immediately prior to the
commencement of employment by the Company’s new permanent CEO).
The Executive must provide written notice of termination for Good Reason to the
Company within thirty (30) days after the event constituting Good Reason. The
Company shall have a period of thirty (30) days in which it may correct the act
or failure to act that constitutes the grounds for Good Reason as set forth in
the Executive’s notice of termination. If the Company does not correct the act
or failure to act, the Executive’s

4

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

employment will terminate for Good Reason on the first business day following
the Company’s thirty (30)-day cure period. If the event constituting Good Reason
is a material reduction in compensation described in subsection (i) above, the
Executive’s Salary and Bonus for purposes of the severance calculations shall be
determined without regard to the material reduction of compensation described in
subsection (i).
f.    Death or Disability. If the Executive’s employment is terminated by the
Company on account of the Executive’s death or Disability (as defined below),
such termination by the Company shall not constitute a termination without Cause
pursuant to Section 2(c); provided, however, that any death or Disability of the
Executive after the Notice Period commences will be treated in accordance with
Section 2(c). For purposes of this Section 2(f), the term “Disability” means the
Executive incurs a mental or physical disability that entitles the Executive to
disability benefits under the Company’s long-term disability plan.
g.    Clawback Policy. Any “Covered Incentive Compensation” provided under this
Agreement is subject to the Clawback Policy adopted by the Board, as in effect
from time to time. “Covered Incentive Compensation” is defined in the Clawback
Policy as any short-term or long-term cash or equity-based incentive award paid,
granted, earned, or vested for a performance year or a performance period, if
and only if such incentive award was granted after the effective date of the
Clawback Policy (regardless of whether the performance for which the award was
granted predated the effective date of the Clawback Policy).
3.    RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS.
a.    The Executive acknowledges and agrees that during employment with the
Company, the Executive will acquire Confidential Information and secret
information in relation to the Company and its parents, subsidiaries,
affiliates, or other related entities (“Company Group”), and that through
dealing closely with customers and clients the Executive will form close
connections with and influence over those customers and clients. The Executive
acknowledges and agrees that the Confidential Information and business
relationships of the Company Group are necessary for the Company to continue to
operate its business. The Executive further acknowledges and agrees that the
Company has a reasonable, necessary and legitimate business interest in
protecting its Confidential Information and business relationships and that the
following covenants are reasonable and necessary to protect such business
interests and are given for good and valuable consideration.
b.    The Executive hereby agrees that all times during the Term and for a
period of twelve (12) months following the Termination Date or resignation of
the Executive’s employment for any reason, the Executive shall not, on behalf of
the Executive or any person or entity with which the Executive may become
associated with in any manner:

5

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

(i)    directly or indirectly solicit, induce or in any manner attempt to
solicit or induce any person employed by or acting as a director, employee,
officer or agent of, or consultant to the Company or Company Group, to leave
such position and become employed or associated with any other entity or
business; or
(ii)    employ or attempt to employ or negotiate or arrange the employment or
engagement by any other person, of any person who to the Executive’s knowledge
was within six (6) months prior to the termination or resignation of the
Executive’s employment for any reason, a director or employee of the Company or
Company Group personally known to the Executive; or
(iii)    directly or indirectly solicit, interfere with, disrupt or attempt to
disrupt any relationship, contractual or otherwise, between the Company or
Company Group and any of their respective clients, customers, partners or joint
venturers.
c.    The Executive agrees that the duration and geographic scope of the
restrictive provisions set forth in Section 3(b) herein are reasonable. In the
event that any court determines that the duration or geographic scope, or both,
are unreasonable and that such provision is to that extent unenforceable, the
Executive agrees that the provision shall remain in full force and effect for
the greatest time period and in the greatest area that would not render it
unenforceable. The Executive also agrees that damages are an inadequate remedy
for any breach of the restrictive provisions herein and that the Company shall,
whether or not it is pursuing any potential remedies at law, be entitled to
equitable relief in the form of preliminary and permanent injunctions without
bond or other security upon any actual or threatened breach of the
non-solicitation provisions herein.
d.    The obligations of Executive under this Section 3 shall survive
termination of this Agreement. Further, the provisions of this Section 3 shall
continue to apply with full force and effect should the Executive transfer
between or among the Company Group, wherever situated, or otherwise become
employed by the Company Group, or be promoted or reassigned to positions other
than that held by the Executive as of the Effective Date. The Company shall have
the right to communicate the Executive’s ongoing obligations hereunder to any
entity or individual with whom the Executive becomes employed by or otherwise
engaged following termination of employment with the Company.
4.    CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.
a.    The Executive shall not during the Term and at all times following the
termination or resignation of the Executive’s employment for any reason:
(i)    divulge or communicate to any person or persons any Confidential
Information (except to employees of, or to attorneys, accountants or other

6

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

professionals engaged by, the Company or Company Group with a need to know such
information); or
(ii)    use any Confidential Information for the Executive’s own purposes or for
any purposes other than those of the Company or Company Group; or
(iii)    through any failure to exercise all reasonable due care and diligence
cause any unauthorized disclosure of any Confidential Information.
b.    “Confidential Information” includes, but is not limited to, all private,
secret or confidential information concerning the business affairs of the
Company or Company Group or concerning customers, clients, or employees of the
Company or Company Group, including but not limited to the following: any
financial information or valuation information concerning the Company or Company
Group, and any other proprietary information of the Company or Company Group,
including that relating to the demonstrably anticipated business of the Company
or Company Group that the Executive obtains, develops or learns in the course of
his or her employment by the Company or Company Group. Confidential Information
specifically includes: any inventions (whether or not patentable), works of
authorship, designs, know-how, ideas and information made or conceived or
reduced to practice, in whole or in part, by the Executive during the term of
his or her employment, all business, technical and financial information,
including trade secrets, information about clients, including their names,
addresses and investment history; information about employees or applicants for

obtains, develops or learns in the course of the Executive’s employment by the
Company or Company Group; provided that Confidential Information does not
include any information that is or becomes known to the public or within the
trade or industry of the Company or Company Group unless it becomes known due to
the Executive’s violation of this Agreement.
c.    All notes, memoranda, records, lists of customers and suppliers and
employees, correspondence, documents, computer and other discs and tapes, data
listing, codes, designs and drawings and other documents and material whatsoever

7

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

or Company Group (and any copies of the same): (i) shall be and remain the
property of the Company or Company Group, and (ii) shall be delivered by the
Executive to the Company (or to such other Company Group as the case may
require) from time to time on demand and in any event on the termination of this
Agreement.
d.    The Executive shall not at any time either during the Term, and at all
times following the termination or resignation of the Executive’s employment for
any reason, make any untrue, misleading or disparaging statement with respect to
the Company or any Company Group (or any of its or their employees or officers).
e.    At no time following the termination or resignation of the Executive’s
employment for any reason shall the Executive directly or indirectly represent
himself or herself as being interested in or employed by or in any way connected
with the Company or Company Group, other than as a former employee or officer of
the Company or Company Group.
f.    Nothing in this Agreement restricts or prohibits the Executive from
initiating communications directly with, responding to any inquiries from,
providing testimony before, providing confidential information to, reporting
possible violations of law or regulation to, or from filing a claim or assisting
with an investigation directly with a self-regulatory authority or a government
agency or entity, including the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission,

Justice, the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Congress, and any agency
Inspector General (collectively, the “Regulators”), or from making other
disclosures that are protected under the whistleblower provisions of state or
federal law or regulation. Federal law provides criminal and civil immunity to
federal and state claims for trade secret misappropriation to individuals who
disclose a trade secret to their attorney, a court, or a government official in
certain, confidential circumstances that are set forth at 18 U.S.C. §§
1833(b)(1) and 1833(b)(2), related to the reporting or investigation of a
suspected violation of the law, or in connection with a lawsuit for retaliation
for reporting a suspected violation of the law.
g.    The obligations of the Executive under Sections 3 and 4 shall survive
termination of this Agreement.
5.    ARBITRATION.
a.    Except as provided herein, any and all disputes that arise out of or
relate to the terms of this Agreement shall be resolved through final and
binding arbitration. SUCH ARBITRATION SHALL BE IN LIEU OF ANY TRIAL BEFORE A

TO HAVE SUCH DISPUTES RESOLVED VIA TRIAL BEFORE A JUDGE AND/OR JURY. Such
disputes shall include, without limitation, claims for breach of contract or of
the covenant of good faith and fair dealing, claims of discrimination, and
claims under any federal, state or local law or regulation now in existence or
hereinafter enacted and as amended from time to time concerning in any way

8

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

the Executive’s employment with the Company or its termination. The only claims
not covered by this requirement to arbitrate disputes, which shall instead be
resolved pursuant to applicable law, are: (i) claims for benefits under the
unemployment insurance benefits; (ii) claims for workers’ compensation benefits
under any of the Company’s workers’ compensation insurance policy or fund; (iii)
claims under the National Labor Relations Act; (iv) claims brought by the
Company for alleged violations of Section 3 or 4 of this Agreement; and (v)
claims that may not be arbitrated as a matter of law.
b.    Arbitration will be conducted in Boston, Massachusetts. Arbitration shall
be conducted in accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”) and the
National Rules for the Resolution of Employment Disputes of the American
Arbitration Association (“AAA Rules” available at www.adr.org), provided,
however, that the arbitrator shall allow the discovery required by applicable
law in arbitration proceedings, including, but not limited to, discovery
available under the applicable state and/or federal arbitration statutes. Also,
to the extent that any of the AAA Rules or anything in this arbitration section
conflicts with any arbitration procedures required by applicable law, the
arbitration procedures required by applicable law shall govern.
c.    During the course of arbitration, the Company will bear the cost of (i)
the arbitrator’s fee, and (ii) any other expense or cost the Executive would not
be required to bear if the Executive were free to bring the dispute or claim in
court. Each party shall bear their own attorneys’ fees incurred in connection
with the arbitration, except that the Company will reimburse the Executive if
the Executive prevails on at least one material claim. Subject to the
immediately preceding sentence, the arbitrator will not have authority to award
attorneys’ fees unless a statute or contract at issue in the dispute authorizes
the award of attorneys’ fees to the prevailing party. In such case, the
arbitrator shall have the authority to make an award of attorneys’ fees as
required or permitted by the applicable statute or contract.
d.    The arbitrator shall issue a written award that sets forth the essential
findings of fact and conclusions of law on which the award is based. The
arbitrator shall have the authority to award any relief authorized by law in
connection with the asserted claims or disputes. The arbitrator’s award shall be
subject to correction, confirmation, or vacation, as provided by applicable law
setting forth the standard of judicial review of arbitration awards. Judgment
upon the arbitrator’s award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction
thereof.
6.    GENERAL.
a.    Effective as of the Termination Date, the Executive shall resign all
officerships, directorships, trusteeships and other positions he or she may
hold, in whole or in part, by virtue of his/her association with the Company and
Company Group, and he or she shall execute and deliver such additional documents
or instruments, if any, as may be requested by the Company or Company Group to
confirm or effectuate such resignations.

9

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

b.    All payments under this Agreement shall be subject to applicable tax
withholding, and the Company shall withhold from any payments hereunder all
federal, state, local and non-U.S. taxes that the Company is required to
withhold.
c.    This Agreement shall be deemed to have been made in the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts, shall take effect as an instrument under seal, and the validity,
interpretation and performance of this Agreement shall be governed by, and
construed in accordance with, the internal law of Commonwealth of Massachusetts,
without giving effect to conflict of law principles.
d.    The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement
shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this
Agreement. This Agreement contains the entire agreement of the parties relating
to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all oral or written employment,
consulting, severance, change of control or similar agreements between the
Executive, on the one hand, and the Company or affiliates, on the other hand,
except as otherwise set forth herein. This Agreement may not be amended or
modified otherwise than by a written agreement executed by the parties hereto or
their respective successors and legal representatives. This Agreement is binding
upon and inures to the benefit of both parties and their respective successors
and assigns, including any corporation with which or into which the Company may
be merged or which may succeed to its assets or business, although the
obligations of the Executive are personal and may be performed only by him/her.
e.    All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and
shall be given by hand delivery to the other party or by registered or certified
mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed as follows:
If to the Executive:    

If to the Company:

OMAM
200 Clarendon Street, 53rd Floor
Boston, MA 02116
Attn: General Counsel

or to such other address as either party shall have furnished to the other in
writing in accordance herewith. Notice and communications shall be effective
when actually received by the addressee.
f.    The Company shall indemnify the Executive to the full extent permitted by
applicable law with respect to the Executive’s performance of duties and
responsibilities to the Company and the Company Group, and the Company shall
maintain reasonable insurance coverage (including but not limited to directors’
and

10

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

officers’ liability insurance coverage) with respect to the Executive’s
performance of duties and responsibilities to the Company and the Company Group.
g.    The Executive’s or the Company’s failure to insist upon strict compliance
with any provision of this Agreement or the failure to assert any right the
Executive or the Company may have hereunder shall not be deemed to be a waiver
of such provision or right or any other provision or right of this Agreement.
h.    This Agreement contains the entire understanding and agreement of the
parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all
negotiations, proposals and agreements (whether written or oral) between them
(or their respective affiliates or representatives) relating to the subject
matter hereof. No agreements or representations (whether oral or otherwise,
express or implied) that are not expressly set forth in, but that relate to the
subject matter of, this Agreement have been made by either party.
7.    SECTION 409A. This Agreement shall be interpreted and operated to reflect
the intent of the parties that all provisions of this Agreement shall comply
with Section 409A of the Code. The Company shall not have any liability or
obligation to the Executive with respect to any taxes that may become payable by
the Executive pursuant to Section 409A. Severance benefits under this Agreement
are intended to be exempt from Section 409A under the “short-term deferral”
exception, to the maximum extent applicable, and then under the “separation pay”
exception, to the maximum extent applicable. For purposes of Section 409A, the
right to a series of installment payments under this Agreement shall be treated
as a right to a series of separate payments and each payment shall be treated as
a separate payment. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary,
if the Executive is a “specified employee” for purposes of Section 409A and if
payment of any amounts under this Agreement is required to be delayed for a
period of six months after separation from service pursuant to Section 409A,
payment of such amounts shall be delayed as required by Section 409A, and the
accumulated amounts shall be paid in a lump sum payment within 15 days after the
end of the six-month period, or if earlier, upon the Executive’s death. For all
purposes under this Agreement, reference to the Executive’s “termination of
employment” (and corollary terms) with the Company shall be construed to refer
to the Executive’s “separation from service” (as defined by Section 409A). With
respect to any payments under this Agreement that are subject to Section 409A,
in no event shall the Executive, directly or indirectly, designate the calendar
year of a payment. With regard to any provision herein that provides for
reimbursement of costs and expenses or in-kind benefits, except as permitted by
Section 409A, (a) the right to reimbursement or in-kind benefits shall not be
subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit, (b) the amount of
expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits, provided during any
taxable year shall not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement, or
in-kind benefits to be provided, in any other taxable year; and (c) such
payments shall be made on or before the last day of the Executive’s taxable year
following the taxable year in which the expense was incurred.

By signing this agreement, I am acknowledging that this waiver includes any
future claims against the Company under Mass. Gen. Laws ch. 149, § 148 - the
Massachusetts Wage Act.  These claims include, but are not limited to, failure
to pay earned wages, failure to pay overtime, failure to pay earned commissions,
failure to timely pay wages, failure to pay accrued vacation or holiday pay,
failure to furnish appropriate pay stubs, claims for improper wage deductions,
and claims for failing to provide proper check-cashing facilities. This

compensation, bonuses, equity grants, carried interest points, vacation, pension
benefits, 401(k) Plan benefits, stock benefits or any other employee benefits,
or any other rights arising under federal, state or local laws prohibiting

physical disability, denial of family and medical care leave, medical condition
(including cancer and genetic characteristics), marital status, military status,
gender identity, whistleblower status, harassment or any other basis prohibited
by law; provided, however, that I am not releasing any claims related to
enforcement of the terms of the Agreement.
Nothing in the Agreement or Release and Waiver of Claims restricts or prohibits
me from initiating communications directly with, responding to any inquiries
from, providing testimony before, providing confidential information to,
reporting possible violations of law or regulation to, or from filing a claim or
assisting with an investigation directly with a self-regulatory authority or a
government agency or entity, including the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity
Commission, the Department of Labor, the National Labor Relations Board, the
Department of Justice, the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Congress, and
any agency Inspector General (collectively, the “Regulators”), or from making
other disclosures that are protected under the whistleblower provisions of state
or federal law or regulation. However, to the maximum extent permitted by law, I
am waiving my right to receive any individual monetary relief from the Company
or any others covered by the release of claims in this Agreement resulting from
such claims or conduct, regardless of whether you or another party has filed
them, and in the event I obtain such monetary relief the Company will be
entitled to an offset for the payments made pursuant to the Agreement. Neither
this Agreement nor the Release and Waiver of Claims limits my right to receive
an award from any Regulator that provides awards for providing information
relating to a potential violation of law. I do not need the prior authorization
of the Company to engage in conduct protected by this paragraph, and do not need
to notify the Company that I have engaged in such conduct. I understand that
federal law provides criminal and civil immunity to federal and state clams for
trade secret misappropriation to individuals who disclose a trade secret to
their attorney, a court, or a government official in certain, confidential
circumstances that are set forth at 18 U.S.C. §§ 1833(b)(1) and 1833(b)(2),
related to the reporting or investigation of a suspected violation of the law,
or in connection with a lawsuit for retaliation for reporting a suspected
violation of the law.         
I acknowledge that, in signing this Release and Waiver of Claims, I have not
relied on any promises or representations, express or implied, other than those
that are set forth expressly in the Agreement and that are intended to survive
separation from employment, in accordance with the terms of the Agreement.
General Release for Age Claims. In addition to all other claims released for the
payment(s) described in the Consideration clause, I waive all claims available
against the Releasees arising out of my employment with the Company or the
termination of that employment under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act
and the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act.
Acknowledgement of Voluntariness and Time to Review. I acknowledge that:
•    I have read this Release and Waiver of Claims and understand it;
•    I am signing this Release and Waiver of Claims voluntarily in order to
release claims against the Company in exchange for payment that is greater than
I would otherwise have received;
