*Appointment of Bartolomeo A. Frabotta as Chief Operating Officer*

On June 23, 2026, Clean Energy Fuels Corp. (the "Company") announced that Bartolomeo A. Frabotta, the Company's former Group Vice President, has been appointed as the Company's Chief Operating Officer, effective as of June 23, 2026 (the "Appointment Date").

There are no arrangements or understandings between Mr. Frabotta and any other persons pursuant to which he was selected as an executive officer, there are no family relationships between Mr. Frabotta and any of the Company's other directors or executive officers, and he is not a party to any transaction that would require disclosure pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.

Mr. Frabotta, age 57, has served as the Company's Group Vice President since May 2021. Previously, Mr. Frabotta served as the Company's Vice President of Operations from December 2012 to May 2021. Prior to that, he served as the Company's Vice President of Information Technology from November 2010 to December 2012. In these roles, Mr. Frabotta has led enterprise operations, services and delivery, and technology initiatives supporting the Company's fueling infrastructure and renewable fuel production operations. From 2007 to 2010, Mr. Frabotta was Chief Information Officer at Watt Companies, a privately held real estate investment and development firm. From 1996 to 2007, he was Vice President of Information Technology at Westfield, Inc., a global owner, operator, and developer of shopping centers. Mr. Frabotta earned a Bachelor of Science in Accounting from California State University, Northridge, and a Master of Business Administration from the Florida Institute of Technology.

In connection with Mr. Frabotta's appointment as Chief Operating Officer, Mr. Frabotta entered into an employment agreement with the Company that is effective as of the Appointment Date (the "Employment Agreement"), the material terms of which are summarized below.

<u>Frabotta Employment Agreement</u>

The Employment Agreement has an initial term ending June 23, 2029, which will automatically renew for additional one-year terms unless the Company or Mr. Frabotta gives notice of non-renewal at least sixty days prior to the expiration of the then-current term.

*Base Salary and Bonus*. Mr. Frabotta will receive an annual base salary of $545,056, subject to increase at the discretion of the Compensation Committee of the Board. Mr. Frabotta will be eligible to earn a target annual bonus equal to 100% of his annual base salary, with any actual bonus becoming payable based on the achievement of performance objectives determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board each year.

*Equity Awards*. Mr. Frabotta will continue to be eligible to participate in the Company's Amended and Restated 2024 Performance Incentive Plan (the "Plan"). Although the Employment Agreement does not entitle Mr. Frabotta to receive any specific equity awards under the Plan, in connection with his appointment, the Compensation Committee of the Board approved an incremental equity grant of 50,000 time-vesting restricted stock units, vesting in three substantially equal annual installments on each of the first three anniversaries of the Appointment Date, subject to Mr. Frabotta's continued provision of services.

*Other Benefits*. Mr. Frabotta will continue to be eligible to participate in the benefit plans and programs generally available to other similarly situated executives of the Company, provided that benefits must be on terms and in amounts not less beneficial to Mr. Frabotta than those provided by the plans in effect on the date of the Employment Agreement.

*Severance Terms*. If the Company terminates Mr. Frabotta's employment without cause or Mr. Frabotta resigns for good reason (each as defined in the Employment Agreement), or if the Company does not renew the Employment Agreement prior to expiration of the initial term or any renewal term, Mr. Frabotta will be entitled to receive: (i) a lump sum severance payment equal to 150% of his then-current annual base salary plus 150% of his previous year's annual cash bonus actually earned, in addition to any accrued obligations and compensation previously deferred, (ii) after the end of the calendar year in which the termination occurs, payment of Mr. Frabotta's bonus for the year of termination (if any), based on actual performance and without pro-ration, (iii) continuing participation in the benefit programs in which Mr. Frabotta was enrolled at the time of termination, at the Company's expense, for a period of one year from the date of termination, and (iv) full acceleration of all outstanding equity awards, with performance-based awards vesting at target. If Mr. Frabotta's employment is terminated without cause or for good reason within six months prior to or one year following a change in control (as defined in the Employment Agreement) of the Company, he will be entitled to the severance benefits described above, except that the cash severance multiple will be 225% of his then-current base salary and 225% of his prior year actual bonus. In consideration of his receipt of any severance benefits under the Employment Agreement, and as a precondition to their receipt, Mr. Frabotta must execute and deliver, and not revoke, a release in favor of the Company in substantially the form attached to the Employment Agreement.

The foregoing description of the Employment Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference herein.

resignation without Good Reason, all of Employee's rights to receive compensation shall immediately cease other than for payment

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. continuing participation for a period of one (1) year from the date of termination of Employee's
employment at Employer expense in the Additional Benefits in which Employee was enrolled at the time of such termination, provided, however,
that such continued participation shall in all cases be subject to the applicable plan's terms and conditions governing participation
by non-employees after their termination of employment; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. all of Employee's outstanding equity awards will vest in full on the date of termination (with any
performance-based awards to vest based on the target level of performance), provided that this clause (4) shall not supersede any
equity acceleration provided under an applicable award agreement that is more favorable to Employee.

In consideration of the receipt of the Change in Control Benefits (which are all the benefits described in this Section 5(f)(i) other than the Accrued Obligations), and as a precondition to their receipt, Employee must timely satisfy the Release requirements specified in Section 5(j). The cash Change in Control Benefits shall be paid to Employee as described in Section 5(j), provided that the Incentive Compensation payment contemplated by 5(f)(i)(B)(2) above shall be made after the end of the fiscal year of termination of Employee's employment but no later than March 15<sup>th</sup> following such fiscal year.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;ii. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, if following a change in ownership
or effective control or in the ownership of a substantial portion of assets (in each case, within the meaning of Section 280G of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code")), the tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code or any similar
or successor tax (the "Excise Tax") applies to any payments, benefits and/or amounts received by Employee pursuant to this
Agreement or otherwise, including, without limitation, any acceleration of the vesting of outstanding equity awards (collectively, the
 "Total Payments"), then the Total Payments shall be reduced (but not below zero) so that the maximum amount of the Total Payments
(after reduction) shall be one dollar ($1.00) less than the amount which would cause the Total Payments to be subject to the Excise Tax;
provided that such reduction to the Total Payments shall be made only if the total after-tax benefit to Employee is greater after giving
effect to such reduction than if no such reduction had been made. If such a reduction is required, Employer shall reduce or eliminate
the Total Payments by first reducing or eliminating any cash payments under this Agreement, then by reducing or eliminating any accelerated
vesting of equity awards subject to performance vesting conditions, then by reducing or eliminating any accelerated vesting of other equity
awards, then by reducing or eliminating any other remaining Total Payments, in each case in reverse order beginning with the payments
which are to be paid the farthest in time from the date of the transaction triggering the Excise Tax and in all cases in a manner consistent
with the requirements of Code Section 409A and intended to provide Employee with the greatest economic benefit possible. The provisions
of this Section 5(f)(ii) shall take precedence over the provisions of any other plan, arrangement or agreement governing Employee's
rights and entitlements to any benefits or compensation. Any determination under this Section 5(f)(ii) shall be made in writing
in good faith by an independent accounting firm or consultants of nationally recognized standing (the "Independent Advisors")
selected by the Company and acceptable to Employee, which shall provide detailed supporting calculations to Employer and Employee as requested
by Employer or Employee. The Independent Advisors' determinations shall be final and binding on Employer and Employee. Employer
shall bear all costs the Independent Advisor may reasonably incur in connection with its services.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;g. <u>Severance Calculation</u> For calculating the severance payments in this Section 5, Base Salary
and Incentive Compensation shall be determined as of the date of Employee's termination and without regard to any reduction in such
amounts giving rise to Employee's resignation for Good Reason.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;h. <u>Special Required Delay in Payments under Internal Revenue Code Section 409A</u>. Notwithstanding
any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, if Employee is a "specified employee" as defined under Code Section 409A
as of the date of his separation from service, then to the extent necessary to comply with Code Section 409A and avoid the imposition
of taxes under Code Section 409A, Employer shall defer payment of "nonqualified deferred compensation" subject to Code
Section 409A payable as a result of and within six (6) months following such separation from service until the earlier of (i) ten
(10) business days after Employer receives notification of Employee's death or (ii) the first business day of the seventh
month following Employee's separation from service. Any such delayed payments shall be made without interest.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;i. <u>Good Reason Procedural Conditions</u>. In order for Employee to resign his employment for Good
Reason and be eligible for the applicable severance benefits under this Agreement, Employee must notify Employer in writing within ninety
(90) days following the initial existence of the Good Reason condition and Employer shall be then be given thirty (30) days from its receipt
of such notice during which Employer may remedy or cure such condition ("Remedy Period"). If Employer does not
cure or remedy such Good Reason condition(s) during the Remedy Period, then Employee must resign his employment within thirty (30)
days after the end of the Remedy Period and must also timely comply with the Release requirements of Section 5(j) in order to
receive the applicable severance benefits.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;j. <u>Release of Claims Requirements.</u> In consideration of the receipt of any severance benefits
under this Agreement, and as a precondition to their receipt, Employee must execute and not revoke and deliver to the Company a release
of all known and unknown claims substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the "Release"). Employee
shall be granted a twenty-one (21) day period (or such other time period required by applicable law but not to exceed forty-five (45)
days) commencing within ten (10) days after termination of Employee's employment in which to review and study the Release and
consult with an attorney prior to deciding whether to execute the Release. Employee's failure to timely execute and deliver
such Release within the prescribed time period (or Employee's revocation of the Release) shall be deemed to be a waiver of Employee's
ability to receive any of the applicable severance benefits. If the Release is executed and delivered and no longer subject to revocation
as provided herein, then any cash severance benefits shall be paid on the 70th day following the termination of Employee's employment
(other than the Pro-Rated Incentive Compensation or Incentive Compensation becoming payable pursuant to Section 5(d) or 5(f),
which shall be paid as specified in Section 5(a), (d) or (f), as applicable), except to the extent that such payments are further
delayed pursuant to the application of Section 5(h). If Employee's employment terminates within six (6) months prior to
the date of the Change in Control under circumstances entitling Employee to the Change in Control Benefits and the Change in Control does
not occur until after the 70th day following the termination of Employee's employment, Employee shall initially be paid the cash
Severance Benefits specified in Sections 5(d)(i)(B) and (C) on such 70th day, and shall be paid any additional amounts becoming
payable pursuant to Sections 5(f)(i)(B)(1)(B) and (C) within ten (10) days following the date of the Change in Control.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Release shall not waive or release (i) any rights to indemnification under the Company's
organizational documents, applicable law, or any indemnification agreement; (ii) any rights under any directors' and officers'
liability insurance policy maintained by the Company; (iii) any rights with respect to vested equity awards, vested employee benefits,
or the Accrued Obligations and other payments expressly payable under this Agreement; (iv) any rights that by law cannot be waived;
or (v) any rights to enforce this Agreement or the Release.

6. <u>Business Expenses</u>. During the term of this Agreement, to the extent that such expenditures
satisfy the criteria under the Code for deductibility by Employer (whether or not fully deductible by Employer) for federal income tax
purposes as ordinary and necessary business expenses, Employer shall reimburse Employee promptly for usual and customary business expenditures
incurred in pursuit and in furtherance of Employer's business which are documented in accordance with procedures established from
time to time by Employer.

7. <u>Miscellaneous</u> 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a. <u>Succession; Survival</u>. This Agreement is personal to Employee and is not, without the prior
written consent of Employer, assignable by Employee. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective
executors, administrators, personal representatives, successors and assigns. As used herein, with respect to Employer, "successor"

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;d. <u>Waiver</u>. No failure on the part of Employer or Employee to exercise or to delay in exercising

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;f. <u>Confidentiality Proprietary Information</u>. Employee agrees to not make use of or otherwise
disclose, directly or indirectly, any trade secret or other confidential or proprietary information concerning the business (including,

learn or be aware, except to the extent such use or disclosure is (1) necessary to the performance of this Agreement and reasonably
determined by Employee to be in furtherance of Employer's interests or (2) required by applicable law. The provisions of this
Section 7(f) shall survive the termination, for any reason, of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;g. <u>Trade Secrets</u>. Employee, prior to and during the term of employment has had and will have
access to and become acquainted with various trade secrets, consisting of software, plans, formulas, patterns, devices, secret inventions,
processes, customer lists, contracts, and compilations of information, records and specifications, which are owned by Employer or by its
affiliates and are regularly used in the operation of their respective businesses and which may give Employer an opportunity to obtain
an advantage over competitors who do not know or use such trade secrets. Employee agrees and acknowledges that Employee has been

and Employee's prior relationship to, interest in and fiduciary relationships to, Employer. Employee shall not disclose any
of the aforesaid trade secrets, directly or indirectly, or use them in any way, either during the term of this Agreement or at any time
thereafter, except as required in the course of Employee's employment by Employer hereunder and as Employee may reasonably believe
to be for Employer's benefit. All records, files, documents, drawings, specifications, software, equipment, and similar items
relating to the business of Employer or its affiliates, including, without limitation, all records relating to customers (the "Documents"),
whether prepared by Employee or otherwise coming into Employee's possession, shall remain the exclusive property of Employer or

Documents are being removed by Employee in context of performing the services required herein. Upon termination of Employee's
employment, Employee agrees to deliver promptly to Employer all Documents in Employee's possession or under the control of Employee. 
The provisions of this Section 7(g) shall survive the termination, for any reason, of this Agreement. Notwithstanding any provisions
in this agreement or Company policy applicable to the unauthorized use or disclosure of trade secrets, Employee is hereby notified that,
under the Defend Trade Secrets Act as contained in 18 U.S.C. § 1833, Employee cannot be held criminally or civilly liable under any
Federal or State trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that is made (i) in confidence to a Federal, State, or local
government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney; and (ii) solely for reporting or investigating a suspected
violation of law. Employee also may not be held so liable for such disclosures made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit
or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal. In addition, individuals who file a lawsuit for retaliation by an employer for
reporting a suspected violation of law may disclose the trade secret to the attorney of the individual and use the trade secret information
in the court proceeding, if the individual files any document containing the trade secret under seal and does not disclose the trade secret,
except under court order provided the Employee's actions are consistent with 18 U.S.C. § 1833.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;h. <u>Trade Secret and Confidential Information Protection</u>.

Employee agrees that following the termination of Employee's employment for any reason, Employee will not use, disclose, or rely upon any trade secrets, as defined by applicable law, or any other legally protectable confidential or proprietary information of Employer or its affiliates to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) solicit, recruit, induce, or encourage any employee, officer, director, consultant, or independent contractor of Employer or its affiliates to terminate, modify, or diminish such person's employment or other business relationship with Employer or its affiliates;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) solicit, divert, take away, or interfere with any customer, client, supplier, vendor, referral source, payor, or other business relationship of Employer or its affiliates; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) solicit, divert, induce, or encourage any independent contractor, consultant, supplier, vendor, or other business relation of Employer or its affiliates to terminate, modify, or enter into the same or a similar business relationship with any other person or entity.

For the avoidance of doubt, this Section does not prohibit Employee from engaging in lawful competition following the termination of Employee's employment, including soliciting or accepting business or communicating with employees, customers, contractors, suppliers, or other business relations of Employer or its affiliates, so long as Employee does not use, disclose, or rely upon Employer's or its affiliates' trade secrets or other legally protectable confidential or proprietary information in doing so. Nothing in this Section is intended to restrain Employee from engaging in a lawful profession, trade, or business to the fullest extent permitted by California law. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Agreement prohibits Employee from using general knowledge, skill, experience, judgment, or publicly available information retained in unaided memory, so long as Employee does not use or disclose Employer's trade secrets or other legally protectable confidential or proprietary information.

Nothing in this Section prohibits Employee from making any disclosure protected by law, including under California law, the Defend Trade Secrets Act, or any applicable whistleblower law or regulation. The provisions of this Section shall survive the termination, for any reason, of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;i. <u>Inventions and Patents</u>. Except as may be limited by Section 2870 of the California Labor
Code, all inventions, designs, improvements, patents, copyrights, and discoveries conceived by Employee during the term of this Agreement
which are useful in or directly or indirectly related to the business of Employer, or to any experimental work carried on by Employer,
shall be the property of Employer. Employee will promptly and fully disclose to Employer all such inventions, designs, improvements
and discoveries (whether developed individually or with other persons) and shall take all steps necessary and reasonably required to assure
Employer's ownership thereof and to assist Employer in protecting or defending Employer's proprietary rights therein. 
Employee acknowledges hereby receipt of written notice from Employer pursuant to Labor Code Section 2870 that this Agreement (to
the extent it requires an assignment or offer to assign rights to any invention of Employee) does not apply to an invention which qualifies
fully under the provisions of California Labor Code Section 2870. The provisions of this Section 7(i) shall survive
the termination, for any reason, of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;j. <u>Place of Employment</u>. The principal place of employment shall be within a radius of twenty-five

travel as Employer may reasonably request or as may be required for the proper rendition of services hereunder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;k. <u>Severability.</u> If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable, such provision
shall be deemed modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable while preserving the original intent of the
parties to the fullest extent permitted by law. In all other respects, if any provision of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable,
the remainder of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect, and if any provision is held invalid or unenforceable
with respect to particular circumstances, it shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect in all other circumstances, to the fullest
extent permitted by law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;l. <u>Withholding Deductions</u>. All compensation payable hereunder, including Base Salary and other
benefits, shall be subject to applicable taxes, withholdings and other required, normal or elected employee deductions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;m. <u>Remedies</u>. Employee expressly agrees that Employer shall be entitled to the remedies of injunction,
specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent any violation of Sections 7(f), (g), (h), or (i) of this Agreement. 
This Section 7(m) shall not be construed as a waiver of any other rights or remedies which Employer may have for damages or
otherwise. Any action brought to enforce the provisions set forth in this Section 7(m) shall be brought in the Orange
County Superior Court. Employee, by execution of this Agreement, hereby submits to the jurisdiction of the Orange County Superior Court.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;n. <u>Arbitration</u>. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, any controversy or claim arising
out of or relating to this Agreement or the breach thereof shall be settled by arbitration in Orange County, California.

affiliated with JAMS.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;iii. Employer shall bear all arbitration forum costs and arbitrator compensation to the extent required by
applicable law, including all costs unique to arbitration. Employee shall not be required to pay any greater amount than Employee would
be required to pay to commence or maintain a civil action in a court of competent jurisdiction.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;iv. <u>Provisional Remedies and Appeals</u>. Each of the parties reserves the right to file with the
Orange County Superior Court an application for temporary or preliminary injunctive relief, writ of attachment, writ of possession, temporary
protective order and/or appointment of a receiver on the grounds that the arbitration award to which the applicant may be entitled may
be rendered ineffectual in the absence of such relief.

of any other dispute arising out of or relating to the same subject matter when the arbitrator determines that there is a common issue
of law or fact creating the possibility of conflicting rulings by more than one arbitrator. Any disputes over which arbitrator shall
hear any consolidated matter shall be resolved by JAMS.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;viii. <u>Power and Authority of Arbitrator</u>. The arbitrator shall not have any power to alter, amend,
modify or change any of the terms of this Agreement nor to grant any remedy which is either prohibited by the terms of this Agreement
or is not available in a court of law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;ix. <u>Governing Law</u>. All questions in respect of procedure to be followed in conducting the arbitration

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Employee agrees to fully release and discharge each and all of the Released Parties from any and all claims, demands, rights, and causes of action that have been or could be alleged against any of said Released Parties (a) in connection with Employee's employment, the Employment Agreement any prior employment agreement, or the termination of such employment (b) in connection with any and all matters pertaining to Employee's employment by any of the Released Parties, including, but not limited to, any and all compensation, salaries, wages, bonuses, commissions, overtime, monies, pay, allowances, benefits, sick pay, severance pay, paid leave benefits, penalties, interest, damages, and promises on any and all of the above and (c) under or in connection with the state and federal age discrimination laws.

Waiver of Section 1542. Employee understands and acknowledges that Employee is waiving rights under Section 1542 of the California Civil Code, which provides:

**Section 1542. [Certain Claims Not Affected By General Release.] A general release does not extend to claims that the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release and that, if known by him or her, would have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or released party.**

Employee expressly waives and relinquishes all rights and benefits under Section 1542 of the California Civil Code and any similar federal, state, or local law, rule, or doctrine with respect to the claims released by this Release.

Nothing in this Release obligates Employer or any Released Party to offer Employee future employment. Employee acknowledges that any future application for employment, if any, will be considered in accordance with Employer's then-current business needs, policies, and applicable law.

Employee understands and acknowledges that the aforementioned consideration is not to be construed as an admission on the part of Employer or any of the Released Parties of any liability whatsoever and that the Employer and each Released Party denies that it has engaged in any wrongdoing or has any liability whatsoever.

Except as described below, Employee agrees and covenants not to file any suit, charge, representative action, class action or complaint against Releasees in any court or administrative agency, with regard to any claim, demand, liability or obligation arising out of Employee's employment with Employer or separation therefrom.

Except as so permitted or required, Employee agrees not to use or disclose Employer's trade secrets or other legally protectable confidential business information. This paragraph does not restrict disclosure of factual information where a restriction would be void or unenforceable under applicable California law.

Employee acknowledges that Employee is relying solely upon the contents of this Release and is not relying on any other representations whatsoever of Employer or any other Released Party as an inducement to enter into this agreement and Release.

Both Employee and Employer agree not to disparage the other party, the other party's officers, directors, employees, shareholders and agents, in any manner likely to be harmful to them or their business, business reputation, or personal reputation; provided that both Employee and Employer will respond accurately and fully to any question, inquiry, or request for information when required by legal process. Nothing in this agreement prevents Employee from discussing or disclosing information about unlawful acts in the workplace, such as harassment or discrimination or any other conduct that you have reason to believe is unlawful.
