      (5%) per annum were due and payable in full to Parker on December 31, 2007. eRXSYS and Parker now agree that Parker shall accept $10,000 cash and

      from any and all actions, causes of action, claims, demands, grievances, and complaints, known and unknown, which Parker or his heirs, executors, 

      administrators, successors, or assigns ever had or may have at any time through the date of this Agreement. Parker acknowledges and agrees that this release 

      is intended to and does cover, but is not limited to, (i) any claim of employment discrimination of any kind whether based on a federal, state, or local statute or 

      court decision; or (ii) any claim, whether statutory, common law, or otherwise, arising out of the terms or conditions of Parker’s employment at eRXSYS 

      and/or Parker’s separation from eRXSYS. The enumeration of specific rights, claims, and causes of action being released shall not be construed to limit the 

      general scope of this release. It is the intent of the parties that by this release Parker is giving up all rights, claims and causes of action occurring prior to the 

      date of this Agreement, whether or not any damage or injury has yet occurred. Parker accepts the risk of loss with respect to both undiscovered claims and 

      with respect to claims for any harm hereafter suffered arising out of conduct, statements, performance or decisions occurring before the date of this 

      Agreement.
