      ever had or may have at any time through the date of this Agreement. LaSota 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 LaSota’s employment at eRXSYS and/or LaSota’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

9.   Indemnification: eRXSYS shall indemnify, defend and hold LaSota harmless, to the maximum extent permitted by law, against all liability, judgments, fines, 

      amounts paid in settlement and all reasonable expenses, including attorneys’ fees incurred by LaSota, in connection with the defense of, or as a result of any 

      action or proceeding, or any appeal from any action or proceeding, in which LaSota is made or is threatened to be made a party by reason of this Agreement 

      or the fact that LaSota was an officer or director of eRXSYS, regardless of whether such action or proceeding is one brought by or in the right of eRXSYS. 

      eRXSYS acknowledges and agrees that this indemnification is intended to and does cover, but is not limited to, any action or proceeding relating to leases 

      which LaSota personally guaranteed that were executed for the benefit of eRXSYS. Each of the parties hereto shall give prompt notice to the other of any 

      action or proceeding from which eRXSYS is obligated to indemnify, defend and hold harmless LaSota of which it or he gains knowledge.

eRXSYS hereby represents and warrants that LaSota shall be covered and insured up to the maximum limits provided by all insurance which eRXSYS maintains to indemnify its directors and officers.




In the event of a suit giving rise to LaSota’s right to indemnification and to the extent reasonably requested by LaSota, eRXSYS shall make available to LaSota and his attorneys and accountants, all books, records and documents relating to any claim and the parties shall render to each other reasonable assistance in the defense of any claim which arises as the result of claims made by persons not a party to this Agreement.

 

10.  Governing Law: This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Nevada without giving effect to the 

       conflicts of law principles.


 

11.  Miscellaneous: No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed or shall constitute a waiver of any other provision and no waiver shall 

       constitute a continuing waiver. No waiver shall be binding unless executed in writing by the party making the waiver. No supplement, modification, or 

       amendment of the Agreement shall be binding unless executed in writing and agreed upon by all parties. The Agreement supersedes all prior understandings, 

       written or oral, and constitutes the entire Agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof. Time is of the essence.


 

12. Counterparts: This Agreement may be executed in counterparts and by facsimile, each of such counterparts so executed will be deemed to be an original 

      and such counterparts together will constitute one and the same instrument and notwithstanding the date of execution will be deemed to bear the first date 

      written above.
