and including the Effective Date of this Agreement (such released claims collectively referred to as the “Claims”). 
 Executive
agrees that the release set forth in this section shall be and remain in effect in all respects as a complete release as to the Claims. This release does not extend to any obligations incurred under this Agreement. This release does not release
claims related to Executive’s ongoing and future employment with the Parent after the date hereof. Executive represents that he has made no assignment or transfer of any right, claim, complaint, charge, duty, obligation, demand, cause of
action, or other matter waived or released by this Section. 
 3. No Pending or Future Lawsuits. Executive represents that he has no
lawsuits, claims, or actions pending in his name, or on behalf of any other person or entity, against the Company or any of the other Releasees asserting any Claims. Executive also represents that he does not intend to bring any Claims on his own
behalf or on behalf of any other person or entity against the Company or any of the other Releasees. 
 4. No Cooperation. Executive
agrees that he will not knowingly encourage, counsel, or assist any attorneys or their clients in the presentation or prosecution of Claims by any third party against any of the Releasees, unless under a subpoena or other court order to do so.
Executive agrees both to immediately notify Parent and the Company upon receipt of any such subpoena or court order, and to furnish, within three (3) business days of its receipt, a copy of such subpoena or other court order. If approached by
anyone for counsel or assistance in the presentation or prosecution of any Claims against any of the Releasees, Executive shall state no more than that he cannot provide counsel or assistance.

agrees to refrain from any tortious interference with the contracts and relationships of any of the Releasees. 
 6. No Admission of
Liability. Executive understands and acknowledges that this Agreement constitutes a compromise and settlement of certain actual or potential disputed claims by Executive. No action taken by Parent or the Company hereto, either previously or in
connection with this Agreement, shall be deemed or construed to be (a) an admission of the truth or falsity of any actual or potential claims or (b) an acknowledgment or admission by Parent or the Company of any fault or liability
whatsoever to Executive or to any third party. 








 7. Costs. The Parties shall each bear their own costs, attorneys’ fees, and other

EMPLOYMENT ARBITRATION RULES & PROCEDURES (“JAMS RULES”). THE ARBITRATOR MAY GRANT INJUNCTIONS AND OTHER RELIEF IN SUCH DISPUTES. THE ARBITRATOR SHALL ADMINISTER AND CONDUCT ANY ARBITRATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH DELAWARE LAW. TO THE
EXTENT THAT THE JAMS RULES CONFLICT WITH DELAWARE LAW, DELAWARE LAW SHALL TAKE PRECEDENCE. THE DECISION OF THE ARBITRATOR SHALL BE FINAL, CONCLUSIVE, AND BINDING ON THE PARTIES TO THE ARBITRATION. THE PARTIES AGREE THAT THE PREVAILING PARTY IN ANY
ARBITRATION SHALL BE ENTITLED TO INJUNCTIVE RELIEF IN ANY COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION TO ENFORCE THE ARBITRATION AWARD. THE PARTIES TO THE ARBITRATION SHALL EACH PAY AN EQUAL SHARE OF THE COSTS AND EXPENSES OF SUCH ARBITRATION, AND EACH PARTY
SHALL SEPARATELY PAY FOR ITS RESPECTIVE COUNSEL FEES AND EXPENSES; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD ATTORNEYS’ FEES AND COSTS TO THE PREVAILING PARTY, EXCEPT AS PROHIBITED BY LAW. THE PARTIES HEREBY AGREE TO WAIVE THEIR RIGHT TO
HAVE ANY DISPUTE BETWEEN THEM ARISING OUT OF THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT RESOLVED IN A COURT OF LAW BY A JUDGE OR JURY. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, THIS SECTION WILL NOT PREVENT EITHER PARTY FROM SEEKING INJUNCTIVE RELIEF (OR ANY OTHER
PROVISIONAL REMEDY) FROM ANY COURT HAVING JURISDICTION OVER THE PARTIES AND THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THEIR DISPUTE RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE AGREEMENTS INCORPORATED HEREIN BY REFERENCE. SHOULD ANY PART OF THE ARBITRATION AGREEMENT CONTAINED IN
THIS PARAGRAPH CONFLICT WITH ANY OTHER ARBITRATION AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES, THE PARTIES AGREE THAT THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT SHALL GOVERN.
