9.   Knowing and Voluntary Release. Sax represents that he has read this
     Agreement and understands that this Agreement contains a waiver and release
     of any and all rights and claims that he might otherwise have against

     effects of this Agreement; and that Sax executes this Agreement freely,
     knowingly, and voluntarily without threat, duress, coercion or promise of
     any future consideration.
