Employer agrees that in response to all employment reference checks concerning Employee, Employer will confirm the dates of employment, title, and rate of pay of Employee and provide no additional information with regard to employee references, in accordance with Employer's policy. 

2.4    General Release.  In consideration for the payments and benefits the Employee receives under this Agreement, and subject only to Section 2.6, Employee, on behalf of himself, his heirs, spouse, dependents, estate, executors, administrators, successors and assigns, unconditionally, irrevocably and absolutely releases and forever discharges Employer, its parent, subsidiaries and affiliates, and each of its respective past, present and future shareholders, officers, directors, employees, agents, insurers, attorneys and parent, affiliated or related entities, and their respective successors and assigns (“Released Parties”), from all claims, demands, disputes, charges, actions, rights, damages, costs, losses, liabilities, expenses, suits of any type (whether in law or equity), compensation and other legal responsibilities, known or unknown, of any kind, which Employee may now have or have had against any of the Released Parties.  The release of claims under this Section is 

intended to be as broad as the law allows.

Employee understands and agrees that this Agreement extends to all claims of every nature and kind whatsoever, known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, past or present, and all rights under Section 1542 of the California Civil Code are hereby expressly waived.  Employee expressly waives any rights under California Civil Code section 1542 which provides 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 settlement with the debtor.

For purposes of Section 1542, “creditor” refers to Employee and “debtor” refers to the Released Parties.

2.8    Non‐Admissions.  It is understood that by offering or entering into this Agreement, neither Employee nor Employer has admitted any liability or wrongdoing whatsoever.  No final findings or final judgments have been made and Employee does not purport and will not claim to be prevailing party, to any degree or extent, nor will this Agreement or its terms be admissible in any proceeding other than a proceeding for breach of the terms contained herein.

2.9    Return of Property.  During employment, Employee acknowledges that he was entrusted with access to confidential Company information concerning such things as the identities, needs and preferences of customers and prospects, financial reports, business plans, sales and marketing strategies, product designs and specifications, personnel files, and other proprietary information belonging to the Company. Employee promises to keep all such information confidential and not to use or disclose it for any purpose after termination.  Employee also agrees to return all of Employer’s property, including all work in progress, files, photographs, notes, records, credit cards, keys, access cards, computer, and other company or customer documents, products or property which he has received in the course of his employment, or which reflect in any way any confidential or proprietary information of Employer.  For the avoidance of doubt, Employee agrees to return all of Employer’s confidential and/or proprietary and trade secret information, including but not limited to, company manuals, handbooks, customer lists, training manuals, checklists, programs and any other materials accessed through the Employer’s network.

Except to the extent required by law (e.g., to submit a tax return or compliance with a lawful subpoena), Employee warrants that he has not disclosed, and promises that he will not disclose, the offer or payment of severance benefits for any reason to any person other than members of his immediate family and professional representatives, who shall be informed of and bound by the same promise of confidentiality.
 
2.12    Consequences of Violation of Agreement.  If either party violates his or its promises in this Agreement, the other party shall be entitled to recover, in addition to any other damages or remedies, such party’s attorneys’ fees and costs in defending against the claim or enforcing the terms of this Agreement.  In addition, if Employee breaches his promises in this Agreement or his obligations and covenants set forth in Sections 5, 6 and 11 of the Employment Agreement, Employer shall have the right to cease paying the Severance Payment under this Agreement and to recover any portion of the Severance Payment previously paid to Employee.
  
2.13    Reemployment or Reinstatement:  Employee hereby waives any right to and agrees not to apply or reapply for employment and agrees that Employer has no obligation, contractual or otherwise, to rehire, reemploy or recall him in the future.  The existence of this Agreement shall be a valid, non-discriminatory basis for rejecting any such application or, in the event Employee obtains such employment, to terminate such employment.

2.14    Entire Agreement.  This Agreement sets forth all agreements and understandings between Employee and Employer and supersedes any prior agreements, understandings or promises between them, except for Sections 5, 6 and 11 of the Employment Agreement.

2.16    Severability.  If any term, provision, or portion of this Agreement is held unenforceable by any tribunal, it shall be deemed automatically adjusted to the extent necessary to conform to the requirements for validity as declared at such time and, as adjusted, shall be deemed a provision of this Agreement as if originally included herein.  In the event that an invalidated provision is of such a nature that it cannot be so adjusted, the provision shall be deemed deleted from this Agreement as if it had never been included herein.  In either case, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.

2.17    Consultation with Attorney. Employee is aware of and acknowledges that he has the right, at Employee’s expense, to consult with an attorney before signing this Agreement, has been advised in writing to do so, and has done so to the extent desired.

Employee acknowledges that he has been given a period of sixty (60) days to consider whether to sign this Agreement, and that he can use as much or as little of this period as he chooses.  In the event Employee elects to execute this Agreement before the end of the sixty (60) day review period provided to Employee and thereby waive the remainder of the sixty (60) day review period, Employee does so knowingly and voluntarily, and Employee acknowledges and represents that the Company has not in any way coerced Employee to do so or otherwise threatened to withdraw or alter the Company’s offer of severance pay set forth in this Agreement before the expiration of such twenty-one (21) day period.
