will be subject to Section 409A. In addition, if such Executive is considered a key employee, such payment in excess of the Safe Harbor Amount will have its timing delayed and will be subject to the six (6)-month wait-period imposed by
Section 409A as provided in Section 12 of this Agreement. The Executive and the Employer agree that the termination benefits described in this Section 13 are intended to be exempt from Section 409A pursuant to Treasury Regulation

order, contract, or common law, including but not limited to any claims under the federal Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act and California Labor Code Sections 1400 to 1408. 

 3. I understand that this Release also extends to all disputes by me against Virco whether
known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, past or present, and whether or not they arise out of or are attributable to the circumstances of my employment or termination of employment with Virco. If I am a California resident, I hereby expressly
waive any and all rights under Section 1542 of the California Civil Code, which reads in full as follows: 

Section 1542. General Release. 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. 
 If I am a resident of any other state that has any law similar to Section 1542 of the California Civil Code, I hereby expressly waive any and all right under any such similar state law. 

4. I further understand and agree that neither the payment under this Release nor the offer of this Release, or any part of it, shall
constitute or be construed as an admission of any alleged liability or wrongdoing whatsoever by Virco, which is expressly denied by Virco. 
 5. This General and Special Release Agreement constitutes a single integrated contract expressing the entire resignation and release agreement between Virco and me. There are no other agreements, written
or oral, express or implied, between the parties concerning the subject matter hereof, except the provisions set forth in this Release. 
 6. I acknowledge that I am fully competent to manage my business affairs, that I have carefully read this General and Special Release Agreement, that I fully understand its final and binding effect, that
the only promises made to me to sign this release are those stated and contained in this release, and that I am signing this agreement knowingly and voluntarily.
