 EXHIBIT 10.69 
 SEVERANCE AGREEMENT 
 FOR VICE PRESIDENTS AND SENIOR VICE PRESIDENTS, 
 AND EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENTS WITH LESS THAN THREE YEARS 
 IN AN OFFICER POSITION 
 THIS AGREEMENT (the
“Agreement”) is made and entered into as of this 11th day of December, 2006, by and between
Unified Western Grocers, Inc. (the “Company”) located at 5200 Shelia Street Commerce, California 90040 and Randall G. Scoville (the “Executive”). 
 WHEREAS, the Company considers the establishment and maintenance of a sound and vital management to be essential to protecting and enhancing the best interests of
the Company and its shareholders; and 
 WHEREAS, the Executive’s position has been determined to be an important part of the senior management
team of the Company; and 
 WHEREAS, the Company recognizes that the possibility of termination due to Change of Control, Good Reason or without cause
creates uncertainty among management personnel of the Company and may result in the departure or distraction of management personnel, all to the detriment of the Company and its shareholders. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and of the mutual covenants herein contained, the following is an agreement to provide severance benefits to the
Executive, pursuant to a severance plan generally benefiting selected similarly situated executives, in the event the Executive’s employment with the Company is terminated under the circumstances described herein. 
  

	1.	Right to Terminate. The Company or the Executive may terminate the Executive’s employment at any time, subject to the Company providing the benefits hereinafter
specified in accordance with the terms and eligibility requirements of this Agreement. Nothing contained in this Agreement is intended to be nor should be construed to create a contract of employment for a specified period of time, or otherwise
change or alter the at-will nature of the Executive’s employment with the Company. 

  

	2.	Eligibility Requirements. The Executive shall be entitled to the benefits provided in Section 5 upon his termination of employment from the Company subject to the
following terms and conditions: 

  

	 	(a)	The Company must have employed him as an Officer immediately prior to the date of this Agreement, and “Officer” shall mean officers of the Company designated as such by
and elected by the Board of Directors of the Company. 

  

	 	(b)	his termination is caused: 

  

	 	(i)	by the Company other than for Cause or Death; 

  

	 	(ii)	by Disability as defined below; 

  

	 	(iii)	by the Executive for Good Reason; or 

 SEVERANCE AGREEMENT 
 FOR VICE PRESIDENTS AND SENIOR VICE PRESIDENTS, 
 AND EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENTS WITH LESS THAN THREE
YEARS 
 IN AN OFFICER POSITION 
  

	 	(iv)	by the Executive within one (1) year of a Change of Control (as all such capitalized terms are hereinafter defined). 

 “Cause” means termination upon (i) the willful and continued failure by the Executive to perform substantially his duties
(other than any such failure resulting from the Executive’s incapacity due to physical or mental illness), after demand for substantial performance is delivered in writing by the Company to the Executive that specifically identifies the manner
in which the Company believes the Executive has not substantially performed his duties, (ii) the willful engaging by the Executive in illegal or fraudulent misconduct which is materially injurious to the Company, or (iii) the willful
material breach of the Confidentiality and Nonsolicitation Agreement set forth in Section 7. No act, or failure to act, on the Executive’s part shall be considered “willful” unless done, or omitted to be done, by him not in good
faith and without reasonable belief that his action or omission was in the best interest of the Company. 
 “Disability” means the Executive’s incapacity due to physical or mental illness to perform substantially his duties on a full-time basis for six (6) consecutive months and, within thirty (30) days
after a notice of termination is thereafter given by the Company, the Executive shall not have returned to the full-time performance of the Executive’s duties. However, if the Executive shall not agree with the determination to terminate him
because of Disability, the question of the Executive’s disability shall be subject to the certification of a qualified medical doctor agreed to by the Company and the Executive or Executive’s legal representative, in the event of the
Executive’s incapacity to designate a doctor. In the absence of an agreement between the Company and the Executive, each party shall nominate a qualified medical doctor and the two doctors shall select a third doctor, who shall make the
determination as to Disability. 
 “Good Reason” means (i) an adverse change in the Executive’s
status or position(s), in effect immediately prior to the date of this Agreement, or (ii) a reduction in the Executive’s base salary; provided, however, that any such basis for Good Reason shall be recognized only if the Executive has
provided the Company written notice of the existence of such Good Reason within ninety (90) days of its first occurrence and the Company has failed to correct the matter within thirty (30) days of such notice. 
 “Change of Control” means any of (i) the acquisition by any person, entity or group within the meaning of Section 13(d)
or 14(d) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, of beneficial ownership of more than fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding Class A Shares of United Western Grocers, Inc.; (ii) if the individuals who presently serve on the Board
of Directors no longer constitute a majority of the members of the Company’s Board of Directors; provided, however that any person who becomes a director subsequent to the commencement date of this Agreement who was elected to fill a vacancy by
a majority of the Company’s members shall be considered as if a member prior to the commencement date of this Agreement; and (iii) a liquidation or dissolution of the Company or the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the
Company.

YEARS 
 IN AN OFFICER POSITION 
 The Executive will not be deemed to have been terminated without Cause by the Company and entitled to severance benefits under this Agreement merely by reason of the acquisition of the Company, if the Executive
continues to be employed by any successor entity described in Section 8(a). This provision, however, will not affect the right of the Executive to receive benefits due to a termination caused by the Executive for Good Reason or a Change in
Control under Sections 2(b)(iii) and (iv). 
  

	3.	Notice of Termination. Any purported termination by the Company or by the Executive shall be communicated by written Notice of Termination to the other party hereto.
For purposes of this Agreement, a “Notice of Termination” means a notice indicating the specific termination provision in this Agreement relied upon. 

  

	4.	Date of Termination. “Date of Termination” means the date set forth by written Notice of Termination or, if none, then by mutual written agreement of
the parties. 

  

	5.	Benefits Upon Termination. 

  

	 	(a)	Subject to Section 9 hereof, if the Executive’s termination of employment with the Company satisfies the conditions set forth in Section 2, then the Executive will be
paid the equivalent of twelve (12) month’s pay based on an amount equal to the Executive’s highest annual base salary during the three year period immediately prior to the Date of Termination, plus an amount equal to one
(1) times the highest annual incentive bonus paid during the three year period prior to the Date of Termination. The Executive’s severance benefits shall be paid within ten (10)-business days of the Date of Termination, unless otherwise
mutually agreed between the Executive and the Company. Payments made under this subsection (a) shall not be taken into account under any other retirement plan of the Company. 

  

	 	(b)	With respect to the Executive’s continued coverage under the Company’s health insurance plan, or successor plan, the Executive’s “qualifying event” for
purposes of the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 (“COBRA”) shall be his Date of Termination from the Company. If the Executive elects to continue health plan coverage pursuant to COBRA, the Company shall pay the
Executive’s COBRA premiums for a period terminating on the earlier of (i) twelve (12) months from the Date of Termination or (ii) the cessation of COBRA eligibility and coverage for the Executive (without regard to any other
COBRA qualified beneficiary). The Company’s obligation with respect to subsection (b) shall continue only if the Executive satisfies on a timely basis all of his premium payment obligations under COBRA. As applicable continued coverage
under this subsection (b) shall be coordinated with corresponding benefits that the Executive may be eligible to receive under the Officer Retiree Medical Plan.

 FOR VICE PRESIDENTS AND SENIOR VICE PRESIDENTS, 
 AND EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENTS WITH LESS THAN THREE
YEARS 
 IN AN OFFICER POSITION 
  

	 	(c)	All unpaid benefits set forth in this section shall be forfeited if the Executive violates any material provision of this Agreement including, without limitation, the
Confidentiality and Nonsolicitation Agreement set forth in Section 7. 

  

	 	(d)	If the Executive’s termination of employment with the Company does not satisfy the conditions set forth in Section 2, no payment or benefits shall be provided under this
Agreement. This Agreement does not, and is not intended to, limit any rights or benefits of the Executive pursuant to any other non-severance type plan, policy or written agreement; provided, however, that this Agreement is intended to be the sole
agreement governing severance-type benefits. Under no circumstances will the Executive be entitled to or eligible for any other severance type benefits from the Employer, including any obligations that existed under any prior agreements including
but not limited to prior severance agreements or under the Unified Western Grocers’ Separation Payment Program. 

  

	6.	No Obligation to Mitigate. The Executive is under no obligation to mitigate damages in the amount of any payment provided for hereunder by seeking other employment or
otherwise. Subject to section 5(b), the amount of any payment provided for in this Agreement shall not be reduced, offset or subject to recovery by the Company by reason of any compensation earned by the Executive as the result of employment by
another employer after the Date of Termination, or otherwise. 

  

	7.	Confidentiality and Nonsolicitation Agreement. 

  

	 	(a)	The Executive acknowledges that in the course of his employment by the Company, he will have access to and become informed of confidential and secret information which is a
competitive asset of the Company (“Confidential Information”), including (i) the terms of any agreement between the Company and any employee, customer or supplier, (ii) pricing strategy, (iii) product development
strategies, (iv) personnel training and development programs, (v) financial results, (vi) strategic plans and demographic analyses, (vii) proprietary computer and systems software, and (viii) any confidential non-public
information received from the Company concerning the Company, its employees, suppliers and customers. 

  

	 	(b)	The Executive agrees that he will keep all Confidential Information in strict confidence during the term of his employment by the Company and thereafter and will never make known,
divulge, reveal, furnish, make available, or use any Confidential Information (except in the course of his regular authorized duties on behalf of the Company). The Executive agrees that the obligations of confidentiality hereunder shall survive
termination of his employment at the Company regardless of any actual or alleged breach by the Company of this Agreement and shall continue for one (1) year following such termination provided that such obligation shall terminate earlier
(i) as to specific information 

  

 4 of 8 

 SEVERANCE AGREEMENT 
 FOR VICE PRESIDENTS AND SENIOR VICE PRESIDENTS, 
 AND EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENTS WITH LESS THAN THREE
YEARS 
 IN AN OFFICER POSITION 
 that shall have become known through no fault of the Executive or (ii) as to Confidential Information which the Executive is required by law to disclose (after giving the Company notice and an opportunity to
contest such requirement). The Executive’s obligations under this Section 7 are in addition to, and not in limitation or preemption of, any other obligation of confidentiality which the Executive may have to the Company under general legal
or equitable principles. 
  

	 	(c)	Except in the ordinary course of the Company’s business, the Executive has not made, nor shall at any time following the date of this Agreement, make or cause to be made, any
copies, pictures, duplicates, facsimiles, or other reproductions or recordings or any abstracts or summaries including or reflecting Confidential Information. All such documents and other property furnished to the Executive by the Company or
otherwise acquired or developed by the Company shall at all times be the property of the Company. Upon termination of the Executive’s employment by the Company, the Executive will immediately return to the Company any such documents or other
property of the Company which are in the possession, custody or control of the Executive. 

  

	 	(d)	In the event of the Executive’s termination of employment at the Company, the Executive agrees that he will not in any capacity, on his own behalf or on behalf of any other
firm, person, or entity, for a period of one (1) year, solicit, or assist in the solicitation of, any employee of the Company to terminate his or her employment with the Company. 

  

	 	(e)	The Executive acknowledges and agrees that a violation of the foregoing provisions of this Section 7 (referred to collectively as the “Confidentiality and Nonsolicitation
Agreement”) that results in material detriment to the Company would cause irreparable harm to the Company, and that the Company’s remedy at law for any such violation would be inadequate. In recognition of the foregoing, the Executive
agrees that, in addition to any other relief afforded by law or this Agreement, including damages sustained by a breach of this Agreement and forfeiture of any and all compensation or benefit otherwise provided under Section 5, and without any
necessity or proof of actual damages, the Company shall have the right to enforce this Confidentiality and Nonsolicitation Agreement by specific remedies, which shall include, among other things, temporary and permanent injunctions, it being the
understanding of the undersigned parties hereto that damages, the forfeitures described above and injunctions shall all be proper modes of relief and are not to be considered as alternative remedies. 

  

	8.	Successors; Binding Agreement. 

  

	 	(a)	The Company will require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation, reorganization or otherwise) by agreement in form and substance satisfactory
to the Executive, expressly to assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent the Company would be required to perform if no such succession had taken place. 

  

 5 of 8 

 SEVERANCE AGREEMENT 
 FOR VICE PRESIDENTS AND SENIOR VICE PRESIDENTS, 
 AND EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENTS WITH LESS THAN THREE

 IN AN OFFICER POSITION 
  

	 	(b)	This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Executive’s personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs,
distributees, devisees, and legatees. If the Executive should die while any amount would still be payable to the Executive hereunder if he had continued to live, all such amounts, unless otherwise provided herein, shall be paid in accordance with
the terms of this Agreement to the Executive’s devisee, legatee, or other designee, or if there be no such designee, to the Executive’s estate. 

  

	 	(c)	This Agreement, and all of the provisions hereof, shall be binding upon the Company and all of its affiliates, successors, transferees, or surviving or continuing entity.

  

	9.	Taxes. 

  

	 	(a)	All payments to be made to the Executive under this Agreement will be subject to required withholding of federal, state, and local income and employment taxes.

  

	 	(b)	Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary, if any of the payments provided for in this Agreement, together with any other payments which the Executive has the right
to receive from the Company, would constitute an “excess parachute payment” (as defined in Internal Revenue Code §280G(b)(2) as it may be amended), so as to cause the imposition of an excise tax payment pursuant to this Agreement
shall be reduced by an amount sufficient to avoid the payment of an any such excise tax; provided, however, that the determination as to whether any reduction in the payments otherwise owing under this Agreement pursuant to this provision is
necessary shall be made jointly by the Executive and the Company in good faith, based on then-effective final and proposed Treasury regulations, and published rulings; provided further, that an independent qualified national accounting firm selected
by mutual agreement of the parties shall provide conclusive calculations in the event the parties cannot jointly agree. 

  

	10.	Notice. For purposes of this Agreement, notices and all other communications provided for in the Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly
given when delivered by United States registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid and addressed, in the case of the Company, to the address set forth on the first page of this Agreement or, in the case of the undersigned
Executive, to the address set forth below his signature, provided that all notices to the Company shall be directed to the attention of the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, with a copy to the Secretary of the Company, or to such other address
as either party may have furnished to the other in writing in accordance herewith, except that notice of change of address shall be effective only upon receipt.

	11.	Validity. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this
Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect. 

  

	12.	Entire Agreement. This Agreement contains the entire agreement of the parties and supersedes any and all other agreements, either oral or in writing between the
parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and contains all of the covenants and agreements between the parties with respect to such subject matter. 

  

	13.	Miscellaneous. No provision of this Agreement may be modified, waived or discharged unless such waiver, modifications or discharge is agreed to in writing signed by
the Executive and the Chief Executive Officer of the Company. No waiver or any breach of any term or provision of this Agreement shall be construed to be, nor shall be, a waiver of any other breach of this Agreement. No waiver shall be binding
unless in writing signed by the party waiving the breach. Unless otherwise noted, references to “Sections” are to sections of this Agreement. The captions used in this Agreement are designed for convenient reference only and are not to be
used for the purpose of interpreting any provision of this Agreement. 

  

	14.	Enforceability. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, to the extent that any payment to be made pursuant to this Agreement is prohibited by applicable
federal or state law or regulation, or by any action of any federal or state regulatory agencies, unless the Company has obtained prior approval for such otherwise prohibited payment from the appropriate regulatory authority, the Company shall not
be obligated to make such payments under this Agreement. No other employee shall be entitled to severance benefits under the plan described in Section 15, and of which this Agreement is a part, unless such employee has been promised such
severance benefits under a separate written agreement. 

  

	15.	Agreement Part of ERISA Plan. This Agreement is made pursuant to a Company-sponsored severance plan covering selected Company Vice Presidents, Senior Vice Presidents,
and Executive Vice Presidents with less than 3 years of service. All of the terms of the plan that relate to the Executive are contained in this Agreement. Although the plan (including the Agreement) is generally subject to the provisions of the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”), the eligible employees constitute a select group of management or highly compensated employees. Accordingly, the plan is exempt from the reporting and disclosure provisions of
ERISA pursuant to ERISA Regulation 2520.104-24. In the event of a dispute, the claims procedures set forth in Section 16 shall apply unless both parties agree to settle the dispute through arbitration. The Company may amend or terminate the
plan of which this Agreement is a part; provided, however, that the plan may not be amended or terminated unilaterally by the Company if such amendment or termination would result in some or all benefits not being paid as the terms of the Agreement
provide as of the effective date set forth below.

in addition to any other relief afforded by law, Employer shall be entitled to an injunction against the violation of the Separation Agreement and Release. Both damages and an injunction shall be proper modes of relief and are not alternative
remedies. If Employer commences any action in equity to specifically enforce any of its rights under this Separation Agreement, Employee waives and agrees not to assert the defense Employer has an adequate remedy at law. All payments under this
Separation Agreement shall cease upon Employee’s violation of any of its terms. Employee shall indemnify Company for all costs, expenses, liabilities and damages, including reasonable attorney’s fees incurred in connection with any breach

 In
the event of a breach by Employee of the terms of this Separation Agreement, Employee shall immediately reimburse Employer for all payments made under this Agreement and Employer shall be relieved of all other obligations under this Agreement;
however, the Release executed by Employee shall remain in full force and effect. 
  

	7.	Employee has served in the most senior management positions with Employer, such as Executive Vice President, U.S. Operations and President, Chief Operating Officer, United States.
As a result, Employee has been privy to Employer’s most confidential, proprietary and material non-public information. Employee agrees and stipulates that this Separation Agreement, and its provisions addressing non-competition and
confidentiality, is reasonable in time, area, and line of business. Employee stipulates and agrees that during the period of employment with Employer, they have obtained knowledge of Employer’s trade secrets, valuable confidential business
information, substantial relationships with prospective and existing customers and received extraordinary and special training. Employee stipulates and agrees that this Separation Agreement is reasonably necessary to protect the legitimate business
interests of Employer and is not overbroad nor overlong in duration. 

  

	8.	Non-Compete. Employee agrees that for a period of twenty -four (24) months from the Termination Date, within any distance of any location in which Employee acted or
conducted business on behalf of Employer (“Restricted Area”), Employee will not (a) accept employment with, or (b) provide services to, as an employee, consultant, partner, shareholder, director, officer, principal, agent,
trustee, independent contractor or otherwise, any company, individual or entity which competes, directly or indirectly, with any of Danka’s lines of business including, but not limited to, the sales and service of copiers, multi-function
devices, printers, facsimile equipment and related supplies and the providing of facilities management, document output or related services, any constituent partners of Employer or any of their respective parents, subsidiaries or affiliates. Nothing
contained in this Section shall be deemed to prohibit Employee from acquiring, solely as an investment, less than five percent (5%) interest in the equity of any publicly traded corporation or limited partnership. 

  

	9.	Non-Solicitation of Customers. Employee agrees for a period of 24 months following the Termination Date, Employee shall not, directly or indirectly, solicit, contact, call

person, firm, partnership, corporation, or other entity, directly or indirectly, (a) hire, solicit, interfere with, or endeavor to cause any Employee of the Company to leave Company’s employment; or (b) induce or attempt to induce any
such Employee to breach such Employee’s Employment Agreement with the Company. 

  

	11.	Severability. If any of the provisions of or covenants contained in this Agreement are hereafter construed to be invalid or unenforceable in a particular jurisdiction, the
same shall not affect the remainder of the provisions or the enforceability thereof in that jurisdiction, which shall be given full effect, without regard to the invalidity or unenforceability thereof in a particular jurisdiction because of the
duration and/or scope of such provision or covenant in that jurisdiction and, in its reduced form, said provision or covenant shall be enforceable. In all other jurisdictions this Section shall at all times remain in full force and effect.

  

	12.	Non-Disparagement. Employee agrees to refrain from making any negative or disparaging remarks concerning Employer, its owners, directors, officers, employees, customers,
vendors, or its products or services. Employer agrees to refrain from making any negative or disparaging remarks concerning Employee. Nothing herein shall prevent Employee from giving truthful testimony in any legal proceeding in which Employee is
required to testify. 

  

	13.	Cooperation. Employee agrees to cooperate fully in any litigation or other dispute involving Employer to which Employee is or becomes a material witness. Employee agrees to
attend and give truthful testimony at depositions, arbitrations, trials and any other procedure or dispute resolution upon reasonable notice by Employer, following Termination Date. 

  

	14.	Non-Admission. Nothing in this Separation Agreement or Release is intended to be, nor will be deemed to be, an admission of liability by Employer that it has violated any
state, federal or local statute, local ordinance, administrative regulation, or principle of common law, or that it has engaged in any wrongdoing. 

  

	15.	Non-Assignment. The parties agree that this Separation Agreement and Release will not be assignable by either party unless the other party agrees in writing, except that upon
Employee’s death after the Termination Date and Employee’s or Employee’s Executor’s execution of the Release of Claims, any remaining payments shall be due and payable to Employee’s estate. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Employer and Employee agree that their obligations hereunder shall continue in the event of a change in control, sale of assets or sale of stock of Employer. This Agreement may be enforced by any assignee, purchaser and/or successor of Employer.

  

	16.	Merger. Execution of the Release on or after the Termination Date supersedes all prior oral and written agreements and communications between the Employer and Employee.
Employee agrees that any and all claims which Employee might have had against 

 Employer are fully released and discharged by
this Separation Agreement and Release, and that the only claims which may hereafter be asserted against Employer may be based on an alleged breach of the terms of this Separation Agreement. 
  

 Page 4 of 8 

	17.	Entire Agreement. This Separation Agreement and Release constitute the entire agreements between the parties with respect to Employee’s termination from employment with
the Employer. The parties agree that there were no inducements or representations leading to the execution of this Separation Agreement or the Release, except as stated herein. 

  

	18.	Voluntary and Knowing Action. Employee acknowledges that Employee will have been represented and advised by an attorney, or will have had the full opportunity to secure such
advice, and has read and understands the terms of this Separation Agreement and Release, and acknowledges that upon execution of the Release of Claims, Employee is voluntarily entering in this Separation Agreement and Release to effectuate
termination from Employer. 

  

	19.	Review. I understand that I may have twenty-one (21) calendar days from the day that I receive this Separation Agreement, not counting the day upon which I receive it,
to consider whether I wish to sign. I further understand that Employer recommends that I consult with an attorney before executing this Separation Agreement. I agree that if I sign this Separation Agreement before the end of the twenty-one
(21) day period, it is because I have decided that I have already had sufficient time to decide whether to execute this Separation Agreement. 

  

	20.	Revocation. Employee may revoke this Agreement within seven (7) calendar days after execution of the Release of Claims to reinstate federal civil rights (if any). To be
effective, any revocation within relevant time period must be in writing and delivered to Employer addressed to Keith J. Nelsen, Chief Administrative Officer, Danka Office Imaging Company, 11101 Roosevelt Boulevard, St. Petersburg, Florida 33716,
either by hand or mail within the appropriate period. If sent by mail, the revocation must be (1) postmarked within the relevant period; (2) properly addressed to Danka; and (3) sent by certified mail, return receipt requested.

  

	21.	Governing Law. This Separation Agreement and Release of Claims will be construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida.

  

	22.	Counterparts. This Separation Agreement may be executed simultaneously in two or more counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original, but all of which together will
constitute one and the same instrument.

 EXHIBIT A 
 RELEASE OF CLAIMS  
 DEFINITIONS: I, Michael Wedge (“Employee”), intend all words used in
this Release to have their plain meaning in ordinary English. Technical legal words are not needed to describe what I mean. Specific terms I use in this Release have the following meanings: 
  

	 	A.	I, Me, and My include both me and anyone who has or obtains any legal rights or claims through me. 

  

	 	B.	Employer, as used herein, shall at all times mean Danka Business Systems, PLC; Danka Holding Company, Danka Office Imaging Company or any parent company, affiliated companies
or entities and includes Employer’s employees, officers, directors, successors and assigns, its attorneys, consultants and agents, whether in their individual or official capacities. 

  

	 	C.	My Claims means all of the rights I have to any relief of any kind from Employer, whether or not I now know about those rights, arising out of or in any way related to my
employment with Employer, and my Termination of employment, or any employee benefit plan, including, but not limited to, common law, or equitable claims, claims for violation or breach of any employment agreement or understanding; fraud or
misrepresentation; and any statutory claims including alleged violations of the Florida Human Rights Act, the federal Age Discrimination in Employment Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act, Title VII, Older Workers Benefit Protection Act, or any
other federal, state, or local civil rights laws or ordinances; defamation; intentional or negligent infliction of emotional distress; breach of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing; promissory estoppel; negligence; wrongful Termination of
employment, or any other claims, accruing up to the date of execution of this Release of Claims. 

 Agreement to Release My
Claims. I am receiving a substantial amount of money, among other things, from the Employer as consideration for my release of claims. I agree to give up all My Claims against Employer as defined above. I will not bring any lawsuits, file
any charges, complaints, or notices, or make any other demands against the Employer or any of its employees or agents based on any alleged claims. The money I am receiving is a full and fair payment for the release of all My Claims. 
 Additional Agreements and Understandings. Even though Employer is paying me to release My Claims, the employer expressly denies that it is responsible or
legally obligated for My Claims or that it has engaged in any wrongdoing.
