               unknown,  which  they  ever had  against  you  arising  out of or
               relating  to  your   employment   with  the  Company  and/or  the
               termination of your employment with the Company.  This release is
               intended to be  comprehensive,  except that it shall not apply to

               "Excepted Claims").

               (ii) The  Company  Releasors  shall not  bring  any legal  action

                    and waiver contained in this Agreement is deemed to be valid
                    by a court of competent jurisdiction and is thereby a bar to
                    a claim by the Company Releasors, then the Company Releasors

                    pertaining to the  investigation  and defense of such action
                    or proceeding.
