(or any successor plan).

target level of performance with respect to each goal shall be assumed. 
 (D) “Cause” means the occurrence of any of the
following: (i) Executive’s failure to make a good faith effort to substantially perform his or her duties (other than any such failure due to Executive’s Disability) or Executive’s insubordination with respect to a specific

determines that Executive’s employment could have been terminated for Cause hereunder, Executive’s employment shall, at the election of the Corporation, be deemed to have been terminated for Cause retroactively to the date the events
giving rise to Cause occurred. 
 (E) A “Change in Control” means, at any time subsequent to the date of this Agreement,
the occurrence of any of the following events:

(F) “Code” means the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, as such law, rules

Reduced Amount in accordance with Section 5(A), the Corporation shall promptly notify Executive to that effect and provide Executive a copy of the detailed calculation thereof. All determinations made by the Accounting Firm under this
Section 5 shall be binding upon the Corporation and Executive and shall be made within 30 business days after termination of Executive’s employment. The reduction of Executive’s Change in Control Payments to the Reduced Amount, if

(i) “Accounting Firm” means an independent, nationally recognized accounting firm designated by the Corporation in good
faith prior to a Change in Control; provided that if the Accounting Firm is not willing or able to value the restrictive covenants in Section 9, then the restrictive covenants shall be valued by an independent third-party valuation
specialist selected by the Corporation in good faith. 
 (ii) “Change in Control Payment” means any payment or
distribution by the Corporation in the nature of compensation (within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code) to or for the benefit of Executive that is contingent on a Change in Control, whether paid or payable or distributed or

means the aggregate Value of all Change in Control Payments to Executive, net of all taxes imposed on Executive with respect thereto under Sections 1 and 4999 of the Code and under applicable state and local laws, as determined by the Accounting
Firm after taking into account any value attributable to the restrictive covenants in Section 9 that is treated as reasonable compensation described in Section 280G(b)(4) of the Code. 

(v) “Reduced Amount” means the greatest amount of Change in Control Payments that can be paid to Executive that would not
result in the imposition of the Excise Tax upon Executive if the Accounting Firm determines to reduce Change in Control Payments to Executive pursuant to this Section 5, determined after taking into account any value attributable to the
restrictive covenants in Section 9 that is treated as reasonable compensation described in Section 280G(b)(4) of the Code. 

(vi) “Value” of a Change in Control Payment means the economic present value of a Change in Control Payment as of the date
of the Change in Control (or such other date as required pursuant to Section 280G), as determined by the Accounting Firm pursuant to Section 280G of the Code using the discount rate required by Section 280G(d)(4) of the Code. 

6. Compliance with Section 409A. 

(A) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, if Executive is a “specified employee,” as determined
under the Corporation’s policy for determining specified employees on the Date of Termination, all payments, benefits or reimbursements paid or provided under this Agreement that constitute a “deferral of compensation” within the
meaning of Section 409A of the Code, that are provided as a result of a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A and that would otherwise be paid or provided during the first six months following such Date of
Termination shall be accumulated through and paid or provided (together with interest at the applicable Federal short-term rate, compounded semi-annually, in effect under Section 1274(d) of the Code as of the Date of Termination) within 30
calendar days after the first business day following the six month anniversary of such Date of Termination (or, if Executive dies during such six-month period, within 10 calendar days after Executive’s death). 

(B) It is intended that the payments and benefits provided under this Agreement either shall be exempt from the application of or shall comply
with the requirements of Section 409A. For purposes of Section 409A, each payment hereunder shall be considered a separate payment. This Agreement shall be construed, administered, and governed in a manner that effects such intent, and the
Corporation shall not take any action that would be inconsistent with such intent. Without limiting the foregoing, the payments and benefits provided under this Agreement may not be deferred, accelerated, extended, paid out or modified in a manner
that would result in the imposition of an additional tax under Section 409A upon Executive. Although the Corporation shall use its best efforts to avoid the imposition of taxation, interest and penalties under Section 409A, the tax
treatment of the benefits provided under this Agreement is not warranted or guaranteed. Neither the Corporation, its Affiliates nor any of their respective directors, officers, employees or advisors shall be held liable for any taxes, interest,
penalties or other monetary amounts owed by Executive or any other taxpayer as a result of the Agreement.

Agreement, a “Notice of Termination” means a written notice that indicates the specific termination provision in this Agreement relied upon, and, if applicable, sets forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to
provide a basis for termination of Executive’s employment under the provision so indicated. Further, a Notice of Termination for Cause shall include a copy of a resolution duly adopted by the affirmative vote of not less than a majority of the
entire membership of the Board (excluding for these purposes Executive himself or herself) at a meeting of the Board that was called and held for the purpose of considering the termination (after reasonable notice to Executive and an opportunity for
Executive, together with his or her counsel, to be heard by the members of the Board) finding that, in the informed, reasonable, good faith judgment of the Board, Executive was guilty of conduct set forth in the definition of Cause in

have returned to the full-time performance of Executive’s duties during that 20 business day period); (ii) if Executive’s employment is terminated as a result of Executive’s death, the date of Executive’s death; and
(iii) if Executive’s employment is terminated for any other reason, the date specified in the Notice of Termination, which, in the case of a termination by the Corporation, shall not be less than 10 business days except in the case of a
termination for Cause (in which case the date of termination may be earlier), and, in the case of a termination by Executive, shall not be less than 10 business days nor more than 20 business days, respectively, after the date such Notice of
Termination is given. The Corporation and Executive shall take all steps necessary (including with regard to any post-termination services by Executive) to ensure that any termination described in this Paragraph (B) of Section 8
constitutes a “separation from service” (or is otherwise a permissible distribution event) within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code and that the date on which such separation from service (or permissible distribution
event) takes place is the “Date of Termination”.

cover the maximum period, scope and area permitted by applicable law.

Section 9 are a principal inducement for the willingness of the Corporation to enter into this Agreement and make the payments and provide to Executive the benefits described in this Agreement and that the Corporation and Executive intend the
covenants (i) to be binding upon and enforceable against Executive in accordance with their terms, notwithstanding any common or statutory law to the contrary; and (ii) to survive and continue in full force in accordance with their terms
notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement. Executive agrees that the obligations of the Corporation under this Agreement (specifically including, but not limited to, the obligation to make any payment or provide any benefit under any of
Paragraphs (A)(iii), (B)(iii)(c), (B)(iii)(d), (B)(iii)(e) and (B)(iii)(f) of Section 4) constitute sufficient consideration for the covenants contained in this Section 9. The Corporation and Executive further agree that the restrictions
contained in this Section 9 are reasonable in period, scope and geographical area and are necessary to protect the legitimate business interests and Confidential Information of the Corporation and its Affiliates. Executive agrees that s/he will
notify the Corporation in writing if s/he has any questions regarding the applicability of this Section 9. Because Executive’s services are unique and because Executive has access to Confidential Information, the parties agree that the
Corporation and its Affiliates would be damaged irreparably in the event any of the provisions of this Section 9 were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached and that money damages would be an inadequate
remedy for any such non-performance or breach. In the event that Executive breaches or threatens to breach any such provision of this Section 9, the parties agree that the Corporation and its Affiliates shall be entitled to seek any and all
equitable and legal relief provided by law, specifically including immediate and permanent injunctive relief to prevent any breach or threatened breach of any of such provisions and to enforce such provisions specifically (without posting a bond or
other security). Executive hereby waives any claim that the Corporation and its Affiliates have an adequate remedy at law. The parties agree that the foregoing relief shall not be construed to limit or otherwise restrict the ability of the
Corporation and its Affiliates to pursue any other remedy provided by law, including the recovery of any actual, compensatory or punitive damages.

 10. Cessation of Payments; Recoupment. The Corporation and Executive acknowledge and agree
that the Corporation may cease making any and all payments payable under Paragraphs (A)(iii), (B)(iii)(c), (B)(iii)(d), (B)(iii)(e) and (B)(iii)(f) of Section 4 if the Corporation reasonably believes that Executive has breached, or is in breach
of, any of his/her obligations under Section 9. Without prejudice to any other remedies available to the Corporation under this Agreement or applicable law, the Corporation may also seek to recoup, and Executive agrees to return upon
Corporation’s written request, any payments (other than Executive’s annual base salary and any accrued vacation pay through the Date of Termination) made to Executive under Paragraphs (A)(iii), (B)(iii)(c), (B)(iii)(d), (B)(iii)(e) and
(B)(iii)(f) of Section 4 if Executive has breached, or is in breach of, any of Executive’s obligations under this Agreement. 

11. Disputes. 
 (A)
Except as set forth in Section 11(B) below, any dispute or controversy arising out of or in connection with this Agreement shall, upon a written notice from Executive to the Corporation either before suit thereupon is filed or within 20
business days thereafter, be settled exclusively by binding arbitration in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association. The arbitration proceeding shall be conducted before a panel of three arbitrators
sitting in the municipality in which Executive’s principal place of employment with the Corporation (or, if applicable, an Affiliate) is (or was, in the event that Executive’s employment is terminated prior to the initiation of arbitration
proceedings) located. Judgment may be entered on the arbitrator’s award in any court having jurisdiction. 
 (B) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in Section 11(A), the Corporation shall not be required to seek or participate in arbitration regarding any breach or threatened breach by Executive of his or her obligations under Section 9, and may instead pursue
its remedies for such breach in a court of competent jurisdiction in accordance with Section 15. 
 (C) Corporation undertakes and
agrees that if Corporation breaches or threatens to breach any material provision of this Agreement, Corporation shall be liable for any attorneys’ fees and costs reasonably incurred by Executive in enforcing, in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement, Executive’s rights under this Agreement. Executive undertakes and agrees that if Executive breaches or threatens to breach any provision of this Agreement, Executive shall be liable for any attorneys’ fees and costs
reasonably incurred by the Corporation in enforcing, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, its rights under this Agreement. 
 12.
Successors; Binding Agreement. 
 (A) Except as otherwise provided herein, all covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement
shall bind and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by and upon the Corporation and its successors and assigns. 
 (B) This Agreement
shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Executive’s personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs, distributees, devisees, and legatees. Any and all amounts payable to Executive hereunder that, as a
result of Executive’s death, would not be paid until after Executive’s death (other than amounts which, by their terms, terminate upon the death of Executive) shall be paid in accordance with the terms of this Agreement to the executors,
personal representatives, or administrators of Executive’s estate.

 WAIVER AND
RELEASE AGREEMENT 
 THIS WAIVER AND RELEASE AGREEMENT (this “Waiver and Release”) is entered into by and
between                      (“Executive”) and Communications Sales & Leasing, Inc. (the “Company”)
(collectively, the “Parties”). 
 WHEREAS, the Parties have entered into a Severance Agreement dated as of
            , 20            (the “Agreement”); 

WHEREAS, Executive’s employment has been or will be terminated in accordance with the Agreement as of [DATE] (the “Date of
Termination”); and 
 WHEREAS, the Parties seek to fully and finally settle all existing claims, whether or not now known,
arising out of Executive’s employment and termination of employment on the terms set forth herein. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in
consideration of the promises and agreements contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency and receipt of which are hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound, the Parties agree as follows: 

 

	1.	In consideration of the payments to be made and the benefits to be received by Executive pursuant to Paragraphs (A)(iii), (B)(iii)(c), (B)(iii)(d), (B)(iii)(e) and (B)(iii)(f) of Section 4 of the Agreement (the
“Severance Benefits”) which Executive acknowledges are in addition to payments and benefits to which Executive would otherwise be entitled upon termination of employment without providing a release of claims under the normal
operation of the Company’s benefit plans, policies, and/or practices Executive hereby agrees to provide the waiver and release set forth in Section 2 below. 


 

	2.	For valuable consideration from the Company, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, Executive waives, releases, and forever discharges the Company and its current and former parents, subsidiaries, affiliates,
divisions, shareholders, owners, members, officers, directors, attorneys, agents, employees, successors, and assigns, and the Company’s parents’, subsidiaries’, and affiliates’ divisions, shareholders, owners, members, officers,
directors, attorneys, agents, employees, successors, and assigns (collectively referred to as the “Company Releasees”) from any and all rights, causes of action, claims or demands, whether express or implied, known or unknown, that
arise on or before the date that Executive executes this Waiver and Release, which Executive has or may have against the Company and/or the Company Releasees, including, but not limited to, any rights, causes of action, claims, or demands relating
to or arising out of the following: 

  

	 	a.	 anti-discrimination, anti-harassment, and anti-retaliation laws, such as the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, the Older Workers Benefit
Protection Act, and Executive Order 11141, which prohibit employment discrimination based on age; Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Civil Rights Act of 1866 (42 U.S.C. § 1981), the Equal Pay Act, and Executive Order 11246, which
prohibit discrimination based on race, color, national origin, religion, or sex; the Genetic Information 



  
 1 









	 	
Nondiscrimination Act, which prohibits discrimination on the basis of genetic information; the Americans With Disabilities Act and Sections 503 and 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, which
prohibit discrimination based on disability; and any other federal, state, or local laws prohibiting employment or wage discrimination; and 

  

	 	b.	other employment laws, such as the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act, which requires that advance notice be given of certain workforce reductions; the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974,
which, among other things, protects employee benefits; the Family and Medical Leave Act, which requires employers to provide leaves of absence under certain circumstances; state laws which regulate wage and hour matters, including all forms of
compensation, vacation pay, sick pay, compensatory time, overtime, commissions, bonuses, and meal and break periods; state family, medical, and military leave laws, which require employers to provide leaves of absence under certain circumstances;
the Sarbanes Oxley Act; and any other federal, state, or local laws relating to employment which—to the extent Employee performed work for the Company in West Virginia—would include, without limitation, the West Virginia Human Rights Act,
and—to the extent Employee performed work for the Company in New Jersey—would include, without limitation, the New Jersey Conscientious Employee Protection Act; and 


 

	 	c.	tort, contract, and quasi-contract claims, such as claims for wrongful discharge, physical or personal injury, intentional or negligent infliction of emotional distress, fraud, fraud in the inducement, negligent
misrepresentation, defamation, invasion of privacy, interference with contract or with prospective economic advantage, breach of express or implied contract, unjust enrichment, promissory estoppel, breach of covenants of good faith and fair dealing,
negligent hiring, negligent supervision, negligent retention, and similar or related claims; and 

  

	 	d.	all remedies of any type, including, but not limited to, damages and injunctive relief, in any action that may be brought on Executive’s behalf against the Company and/or the Company Releasees by any government
agency or other entity or person. 

 Executive understands that Executive is releasing claims about which Executive may not
know anything at the time Executive executes this Waiver and Release. Executive acknowledges that it is Executive’s intent to release such unknown claims, even though Executive recognizes that someday Executive might learn new facts relating to
Executive’s employment or learn that some or all of the facts Executive currently believes to be true are untrue, and even though Executive might then regret having signed this Waiver and Release. Nevertheless, Executive acknowledges
Executive’s awareness of that risk and agrees that this Waiver and Release shall remain effective in all respects in any such case. Executive expressly waives all rights Executive might have under any laws, including, without limitation, the
laws set forth in Schedule I to this Waiver and Release, intended to protect Executive from waiving unknown claims. 
  

	3.	 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Waiver and Release, the waiver and release contained herein shall exclude any rights or claims
(a) that may arise after the date on which Executive executes this Waiver and Release; (b) that cannot be released under applicable law 



  
 2 









	 	
(such as worker’s compensation and unemployment insurance claims); or (c) for indemnification or directors and officers liability insurance coverage, if any, to which s/he was entitled
immediately prior to his or her Date of Termination with regard to his or her service as an officer or director of the Company or any company(ies) controlled by, controlling or under common control with the Company, and any predecessors, successors
or assigns to the foregoing (the “CS&L Group”). In addition, the Parties agree that this Waiver and Release shall not adversely affect, alter, or extinguish (i) any vested right that Executive may have with respect to any
pension or other retirement benefits to which Executive is or will be entitled by virtue of Executive’s employment with the CS&L Group; (ii) Executive’s rights under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985; or
(iii) Executive’s rights under Sections 4 and 5 of the Agreement which are intended to survive termination of employment, and nothing in this Waiver and Release shall prohibit Executive from enforcing such rights. Moreover, nothing in this
Waiver and Release shall prevent or preclude Executive from challenging in good faith the validity of this Waiver and Release, nor does it impose any conditions precedent, penalties, or costs for doing so, unless specifically authorized by
applicable law. 

  

	4.	Except to the extent previously disclosed by Executive in writing to the Company, Executive represents and warrants that Executive has (a) filed no claims, lawsuits, charges, grievances, or causes of action of any
kind against the Company and/or the Company Releasees and, to the best of Executive’s knowledge, Executive possesses no claims (including Fair Labor Standards Act (“FLSA”) and worker’s compensation claims);
(b) received any and all compensation (including overtime compensation), meal periods, and rest periods to which Executive may have been entitled, and Executive is not currently aware of any facts or circumstances constituting a violation by
the Company and/or the Company Releasees of the FLSA or other applicable wage, hour, meal period, and/or rest period laws; and (c) not suffered any work-related injury or illness within the twelve (12) months preceding Executive’s
execution of this Waiver and Release, and Executive is not currently aware of any facts or circumstances that would give rise to a worker’s compensation claim against the Company and/or the Company Releasees. 


 

	5.	Executive agrees that Executive will remain reasonably available to the Company as needed to assist in the smooth transition of Executive’s duties to one or more other employees of the Company and without
additional compensation to Executive and to assist in the defense of the Company’s interests in pending or threatened litigation and any other administrative and regulatory proceedings which currently exist or which may arise in the future and
involve the conduct of the Company’s business activities during the period of Executive’s employment with the Company. Executive’s obligations with respect to transition duties under this Section 5 shall terminate eight
(8) weeks following the Date of Termination; however, Executive’s obligations under this Section 5 with respect to the defense of the Company’s interests shall survive the Date of Termination and the termination of this Waiver
and Release. 

  

	6.	 Executive specifically agrees and understands that the existence and terms of this Waiver and Release are strictly CONFIDENTIAL and that such
confidentiality is a material term of this Waiver and Release. Accordingly, except as required by applicable law or unless authorized to do so by the Company in writing, Executive agrees that s/he shall not communicate, display or otherwise reveal
any of the contents of this Waiver and Release to anyone other 



  
 3 









	 	
than his or her spouse, attorney or financial advisor, provided, however, that they are first advised of the confidential nature of this Waiver and Release and Executive obtains their agreement
to be bound by the same. The Company agrees that Executive may respond to legitimate inquiries regarding his or her employment with the Company by stating that the Parties terminated their relationship on an amicable basis and that the Parties have
entered into a confidential Waiver and Release that prohibits him or her from further discussing the specifics of his or her separation. Nothing contained herein shall be construed to prevent Executive from discussing or otherwise advising
subsequent employers of the existence of any obligations as set forth in the Agreement or this Waiver and Release. Further, nothing contained herein shall be construed to limit or otherwise restrict the CS&L Group’s ability to disclose the
terms and conditions of this Waiver and Release as may be required by applicable law or business necessity. 

  

	7.	In the event that Executive breaches or threatens to breach any provision of this Waiver and Release, s/he agrees that the CS&L Group shall be entitled to seek any and all equitable and legal relief provided by law,
specifically including immediate and permanent injunctive relief. Executive hereby waives any claim that the CS&L Group has an adequate remedy at law. In addition, and to the extent not prohibited by law, Executive agrees that the CS&L Group
shall be entitled to an award of all costs and attorneys’ fees incurred by the CS&L Group in any successful effort to enforce the terms of this Waiver and Release. Executive agrees that the foregoing relief shall not be construed to limit
or otherwise restrict the CS&L Group’s ability to pursue any other remedy provided by law, including the recovery of any actual, compensatory or punitive damages. Moreover, if Executive pursues any claims against any Company Releasee
subject to the foregoing Waiver and Release, Executive agrees to immediately reimburse the Company for the value of all Severance Benefits received to the fullest extent permitted by law. 


 

	8.	The Parties acknowledge that this Waiver and Release is entered into solely for the purpose of ending their employment relationship on an amicable basis and shall not be construed as, or used as evidence of, an
admission of liability or wrongdoing by either Party and that both the CS&L Group and Executive have expressly denied any such liability or wrongdoing. Executive agrees that s/he is eligible for re-employment by CS&L Group only by mutual
agreement and consent of the Parties. 

  

	9.	Each of the promises and obligations contained in this Waiver and Release shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors, administrators, assigns and successors in interest of each of the
Parties. 

  

	10.	The Parties agree that each and every paragraph, sentence, clause, term and provision of this Waiver and Release is severable and that if any portion of this Waiver and Release should be deemed not enforceable for any
reason, such portion shall be stricken and the remaining portion(s) thereof should continue to be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. 

  

	11.	This Waiver and Release shall be interpreted, enforced and governed under the laws of the State of Maryland, without regard to any applicable state’s choice of law provisions. 


  
 4 









	12.	Executive represents and acknowledges that in signing this Waiver and Release s/he does not rely, and has not relied, upon any representation or statement made by the CS&L Group or by any of the CS&L
Group’s employees, officers, agents, stockholders, directors or attorneys with regard to the subject matter, basis or effect of this Waiver and Release other than those specifically contained herein. 


 

	13.	Executive acknowledges that Executive has been given at least forty-five (45) days to consider this Waiver and Release from the date that it was first given to Executive. Executive agrees that changes in the terms
of this Waiver and Release, whether material or immaterial, do not restart the running of the forty-five (45)-day consideration period. Executive may accept this Waiver and Release by executing this Waiver and Release within the designated time
period, but no sooner than the first day after the Date of Termination. Executive shall have seven (7) days from the date that Executive executes this Waiver and Release to revoke Executive’s acceptance of this Waiver and Release by
delivering written notice of revocation within the seven (7)-day period to the following Company contact: 

 Communications
Sales & Leasing, Inc.

Benton Building, Suite 300 
 Little
Rock, Arkansas 72212 
 Attn: Human Resources Department 

If Executive does not revoke acceptance, this Waiver and Release will become effective and irrevocable by Executive on the eighth day after
Executive has executed it. 
  

	14.	This Waiver and Release represents the entire agreement between the Parties concerning the subject matter hereof, shall supersede any and all prior agreements which may otherwise exist between them concerning the
subject matter hereof (specifically excluding, however, the post-termination obligations contained in the Agreement), and shall not be altered, amended, modified or otherwise changed except by a writing executed by both Parties. 


BY SIGNING BELOW, EXECUTIVE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT S/HE HAS READ THIS WAIVER AND RELEASE AND THAT IT INCLUDES A COMPLETE RELEASE OF ALL KNOWN AND
UNKNOWN CLAIMS; THAT THE COMPANY HAS ADVISED EXECUTIVE TO CONSULT WITH AN ATTORNEY PRIOR TO SIGNING THIS WAIVER AND RELEASE; THAT S/HE HAS BEEN GIVEN SUFFICIENT TIME TO CONSULT WITH AN ATTORNEY AND CONSIDER THE TERMS OF THIS WAIVER AND RELEASE; THAT

 [Schedule I to Waiver and Release 

As emphasized in the Waiver and Release, Executive understands that Executive is releasing claims that Executive may not know about and that Executive
expressly waives and relinquishes all rights and benefits which Executive may have under any state or federal statute or common law principle that would otherwise limit the effect of this release to claims known or suspected prior to the date
Executive signs this Waiver and Release, including, but not limited to, the effect of protections afforded by the following laws: 
 1.
California Employees 
 Section 1542 of the Civil Code of the State of California states as follows: 

“A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the
release, which if known by him or her must have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor.” 
 2. Montana Employees

 Section 28-1-1602 of the Montana Code Annotated states as follows: 

“A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in the creditor’s favor at the time of executing
the release, which, if known by the creditor, must have materially affected the creditor’s settlement with the debtor.” 
 3.
North Dakota Employees 
 Section 9-13-02 of the North Dakota Century Code states as follows: 

“A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in the creditor’s favor at the time of executing
the release, which if known by the creditor, must have materially affected the creditor’s settlement with the debtor.” 
 4. South
Dakota Employees 
 Section 20-7-11 of the South Dakota Codified Laws states as follows: 

“A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his [or her] favor at the time of executing the
release, which if known by him [or her] must have materially affected his [or her] settlement with the debtor.” 
 Thus, notwithstanding the provisions
of Section 1542 of the Civil Code of the State of California, Section 28-1-1602 of the Montana Code Annotated, Section 9-13-02 of the North Dakota Century Code, and Section 20-7-11 of the South Dakota Codified Laws, and for the
purpose of implementing a full and complete release and discharge of the Company and the Company Releasees, Employee expressly acknowledges that this release is intended to include in its effect, without limitation, all claims which Employee does
not know or suspect to exist in Employee’s favor at the time Employee executes this Agreement, and that this Agreement contemplates the extinguishment of any such claims.]
