demands, or suites presently asserted or not asserted, accrued or unaccrued, known or unknown, that Executive had, now has, or may have or could claim to have against the Company Releasees, from the beginning of time to the date of execution of this
Agreement, including, but not limited to all claims and rights in any way arising from or based upon Executive’s employment with Company, Executive’s Employment Agreement, or any other agreement between Company and Executive, including but

service as an employee, officer, or director of Company. 
 Section 4. Release by Company. As a material inducement to Executive to
enter into this Agreement and with the considerations set forth in this Agreement, Company, with full understanding of the contents and legal effect of this Agreement and having the right and opportunity to consult with counsel, releases and

unliquidated, and whether arising in tort, contract, statute, or equity, before any federal, state, local, or private court, agency, arbitrator, mediator, or other entity, regardless of the relief or remedy. 

Section 5. Indemnification by Company. In consideration of Executive’s waiver and release of claims set forth above and the other
obligations of Executive hereunder, to the extent that Company has officers’ and directors’ liability insurance coverage covering the acts of Executive, Company shall, subject to the exclusions and limitations set forth therein, indemnify
and hold harmless Executive if he is made a party, is threatened to be made a party to, or otherwise receives any other legal process in any action, suit, or proceeding by reason of the fact that he was a director, officer, or employee of Company.
Executive shall be indemnified and held harmless to the fullest extent permitted or authorized under the officer’s and director’s liability insurance policy, provided that such indemnification does not violate Company’s articles of
incorporation, bylaws, the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, or federal laws.

the Company Releasees irreparable harm, that
