2\. Paragraph 1 shall not apply to any claims the Executive may have with respect to the Companys severance obligations under Section 5 of the Agreement, any rights the Executive may have with respect to outstanding equity interests in the Company, rights to indemnification under the Companys by-laws or otherwise, or any rights to recover under any director and officer liability insurance policy maintained by the Company for the benefit of the Executive in accordance with the terms of such director and officer liability insurance policy. In addition, Paragraph 1 shall in no event apply to any claims that, as a matter of applicable law, are not waivable, the Executives right to vested benefits under the written terms of the Companys 401(k) Plan, claims for unemployment or workers compensation benefits, any medical claim incurred during the Executives employment that is payable under applicable medical plans or an employer-insured liability plan, or claims arising after the date on which the Executive signs the Release and Waiver. The Executive and the Company agree that nothing in this Release and Waiver 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 (EEOC), the Department of Labor (DOL), the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), the Department of Justice (DOJ), the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), 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, the Executive is waiving the Executives right to receive any individual monetary relief resulting from such claims, regardless of whether the Executive or another party has filed them, and in the event the Executive obtains such monetary relief the Company will be entitled to an offset for the payments made pursuant to Section 5 of the Agreement, except where such limitations are prohibited as a matter of law (e.g., under the Sarbanes- Oxley Act of 2002 , 18 U.S.C.A. 1514A). The Executive does not need the prior authorization of the Company to engage in such communications with the Regulators, respond to such inquiries from the Regulators, provide confidential information or documents to the Regulators, or make any such reports or disclosures to the Regulators. The Executive is not required to notify the Company that the Executive has engaged in such communications with the Regulators.
