 Exhibit 10.6 

VIPER ENERGY PARTNERS LP 

LONG TERM INCENTIVE PLAN 

UNIT OPTION AGREEMENT 

THIS UNIT OPTION AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into by and between Viper Energy Partners GP
LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “General Partner”), and you, effective as of                     , 2014
(the “Date of Grant”). 
 WHEREAS, Viper Energy Partners LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the
“Partnership”), acting through the board of directors of the General Partner (the “Board”), has adopted the Viper Energy Partners LP Long Term Incentive Plan, as it may be amended from time to time
(the “Plan”), to, among other things, attract, retain and motivate certain directors, employees and officers of the Partnership, the General Partner and their respective Affiliates (collectively, the “Partnership
Entities”); and 
 WHEREAS, the Board has authorized the grant of unit options under the Plan to certain employees and
officers as part of their compensation for services provided to the Partnership. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual
covenants set forth herein and for other valuable consideration hereinafter set forth, the parties agree as follows: 
 1. Grant of
Option. The General Partner hereby grants to you, effective as of the Date of Grant, the right and option (the “Option”) to purchase an aggregate of
                     Units (the “Option Units”) on the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Plan, which Plan is
incorporated herein by reference as part of this Agreement. Capitalized terms used in this Agreement but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Plan, unless the context requires otherwise. This Option
(a) shall not be treated as an incentive stock option within the meaning of section 422(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), but (b) may constitute a “deferral of compensation”
within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code and, as such, shall be treated as a 409A Award for purposes of the Plan. 
 2.
Exercise Price. The exercise price of the Option Units granted pursuant to this Agreement shall be $         per Unit (the “Exercise Price”), which has been determined
to be not less than 100% of the Fair Market Value per Unit at the Date of Grant. For all purposes of this Agreement, Fair Market Value shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of the Plan. 

3. Vesting of Option Units. Option Units shall be deemed “Nonvested Option Units” unless and until they
have become “Vested Option Units” in accordance with this Section 3. 
 (a) Vesting Schedule. Subject to
the other terms and conditions set forth herein, the Option Units granted pursuant to this Agreement will become Vested Option Units in accordance with the following schedule, provided that you remain in the employ of, or a service provider to, the
Partnership Entities until the applicable vesting dates: 
  

					
	 Date Option Units Become Vested Option Units
	  	Cumulative Percentage of Option
Units that Become Vested Option
Units	 
		
	 First Anniversary of Date of Grant
	  	 	33	% 
		
	 Second Anniversary of Date of Grant
	  	 	66	% 
		
	 Third Anniversary of Date of Grant
	  	 	100	% 

 (b) Change of Control. Notwithstanding the above vesting schedule, upon the occurrence of
a Change of Control prior to the date all Option Units granted pursuant to this Agreement become Vested Option Units, all of Option Units subject to this Agreement will immediately become Vested Option Units. As used in this Section 3(b), the
term “Change of Control” means a Change of Control as defined in the Plan even if such Change of Control does not also constitute a “change in the ownership of a corporation,” a “change in the effective control of a
corporation,” or a “change in the ownership of a substantial portion of a corporation’s assets,” in each case, within the meaning of § 1.409A-3(i)(5) of the 409A Regulations. 

(c) Termination of Employment. 

(i) General. Except as provided in Section 3(c)(ii) below, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the
foregoing provisions of this Section 3, in the event your employment or service relationship with the Partnership Entities is terminated prior to the date all Option Units granted pursuant to this Agreement become Vested Option Units, then all
of your Nonvested Option Units will remain unvested, will become null and void and will be forfeited as of the date of such termination. 

(ii) Death and Disability. If your employment or service relationship with the Partnership Entities is terminated due
to death or Disability prior to the date all Option Units granted pursuant to this Agreement become Vested Option Units, then all Option Units subject to this Agreement will immediately become Vested Option Units as of your employment termination
date. As used in this Section 3(c)(ii), “Disability” means your inability to substantially perform your duties to a Partnership Entity by reason of a medically determinable physical or mental impairment that is expected
to last for a period of six months or longer or to result in death.

 4. Exercise of Option Units. 

(a) Time of Exercise. Subject to Section 4(b) below, Vested Option Units will be automatically exercised upon the
earlier to occur of (i) the date that is the third anniversary of the Date of Grant, or (ii) the date a Change of Control occurs (the earliest occurring of such dates, the “Automatic Exercise Date”).
As used in this Section 4(a), the term “Change of Control” means a Change of Control as defined in the Plan that also constitutes a “change in the ownership of a corporation,” a “change in the effective control of a
corporation,” or a “change in the ownership of a substantial portion of a corporation’s assets,” in each case, within the meaning of § 1.409A-3(i)(5) of the 409A Regulations (including without limitation 1.409A-3(i)(5)(ii)),
as applied (with respect to the General Partner and the Partnership) to non-corporate entities. 
 (b) Extension of Exercise Period.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 4, (i) in the event the exercise of your Vested Option Units on the Automatic Exercise Date would violate any applicable Federal, state, local or foreign law (including if, at the
time of a proposed exercise, there shall be an effective registration statement registering under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), the issuance of Units upon exercise of Options under the Plan
(the “Registration Statement”), and there shall have occurred an event which makes any statement made in the Registration Statement, related prospectus or any document incorporated therein by reference untrue in any material
respect or which requires the making of any changes in such Registration Statement, prospectus or other documents so that they will not contain any untrue statement of material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading) or would jeopardize the ability of the General Partner or the Partnership to continue as a going concern, the General Partner may prohibit the exercise of your Vested Option Units on the
Automatic Exercise Date and may specify another date, during a 30 day period beginning on the date the exercise of your Vested Option Units, or any portion thereof, would first no longer violate an applicable Federal, state, local or foreign law or
would first no longer jeopardize the ability of the General Partner or the Partnership to continue as a going concern, as the date your Vested Option Units, or portion thereof, shall be automatically exercised; and (ii) the General Partner may
provide that the exercise of your Vested Option Units will not occur on the Automatic Exercise Date and shall instead occur on a later specified date upon such other events and conditions as may be prescribed under Section 409A of the Code and
the 409A Regulations. In not event, however, will any exercise of the Option occur after the expiration of 10 years from the Date of Grant hereof. 

(c) Limitation on Exercise. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 4, in no event will any Vested Option Units
be exercised on the Automatic Exercise Date (or, if applicable, a later alternative date specified in accordance with Section 4(b)) if, on such date, the Exercise Price per Option Unit exceeds the Fair Market Value per Unit determined as of the
Automatic Exercise Date (or, if applicable, such later alternative date) and, in such event, the Vested Option Units will automatically terminate and become null and void as of the Automatic Exercise Date (or, if applicable, such later alternative
date). 
 (d) Payment of Exercise Price. The aggregate Exercise Price for the Vested Option Units exercised on the Automatic Exercise
Date (or, if applicable, a later alternative date 

  
 3 

 
specified in accordance with Section 4(b)) shall be paid in full at the time of such exercise, either (i) in cash (including by certified check, bank draft or money order, or wire transfer
of immediately available funds) at the time the Option is exercised; or (ii) in the Committee’s discretion and on such terms as the Committee approves: (A) by delivering or constructively tendering by means of attestation whereby you identify
for delivery specific duly endorsed Units having a Fair Market Value as of the date of exercise equal to the aggregate Exercise Price and receive a number of Units equal to the difference between the number of Units thereby purchased and the number
of identified attestation Units (provided that any Units used for this purpose must have been held by you for such minimum period of time, if any, as may be established from time to time by the Committee), (B) by notice of net issue exercise
including a statement directing the Partnership to issue a number of Units as to which the Option is exercised, but retain from transfer the number of Units with a Fair Market Value as of the date of exercise equal to the aggregate Exercise Price,
in which case the Option will be surrendered and cancelled with respect to the number of Units retained by the Partnership, or (C) to the extent permissible under applicable law, through delivery of irrevocable instructions to a broker to sell a
sufficient number of the Units being exercised to cover the aggregate Exercise Price and delivery to the General Partner on behalf of the Partnership (on the same day that the Units issuable upon exercise are delivered) of the amount of sale
proceeds required to pay the aggregate Exercise Price; or (iii) any combination of the foregoing having a Fair Market Value on the exercise date equal to the aggregate Exercise Price. 

(e) Delivery of Units. No fractional Units shall be issued upon exercise of Vested Option Units or accepted in payment of the exercise
price thereof; rather, you shall provide a cash payment for such amount as is necessary to affect the issuance and acceptance of only whole Units. Unless and until a certificate or certificates representing such Units shall have been issued by the
Partnership to you or the transfer of such Units shall be entered in the Partnership’s ledger or otherwise properly reflected in the Partnership’s books and records, you shall not be or have any of the rights or privileges of a unitholder
of the Partnership with respect to Units acquirable upon exercise of the Option. 
 5. Transferability. This Agreement and the
Option Units granted hereunder will not be transferrable or assignable by you other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, except to the extent approved by the Committee in accordance with the terms of the Plan.  

6. Payment of Taxes. To the extent that the exercise of this Option or the disposition of Units acquired by exercise of this
Option results in compensation income or wages to you for Federal, state or local tax purposes that are subject to withholding requirements, you shall deliver to the General Partner at the time of such exercise or disposition such amount of money as
the General Partner may require to meet its withholding obligation under applicable tax laws or regulations. You may satisfy such tax withholding obligation (i) in cash (including by certified check, bank draft or money order, or wire transfer of
immediately available funds); or (ii) in the Committee’s discretion and on such terms as the Committee approves: (A) by delivering or constructively tendering by means of attestation whereby you identify for delivery specific duly endorsed
Units having a Fair Market Value equal to the aggregate withholding obligation (provided that any Units used for this purpose must have been held by you for such minimum period of time, if any, as may be established from time to time by the
Committee), (B) by notice of net issuance including a statement directing the Partnership to retain from transfer the number of Units with a Fair Market Value equal to the aggregate withholding obligation, in which case the Option will be
surrendered and cancelled with respect to the number of Units retained by the Partnership, or (C) to the extent permissible under applicable law, through delivery of irrevocable instructions to a broker to sell a sufficient number of the Units being
exercised to cover the aggregate withholding obligation and delivery to the General Partner on behalf of the Partnership (on the same day that the Units issuable upon exercise are delivered) of the amount of sale proceeds required to pay the
aggregate withholding obligation; or (iii) any combination of the foregoing. In the event the Committee subsequently determines that the amount paid or withheld as payment of any tax withholding obligations is insufficient to discharge the tax
withholding obligation, you will be required to pay to the General Partner, immediately upon the Committee’s request, the amount of that deficiency. 

  
 4 

 7. Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Rules. The intent of the parties is that the
Option and related rights under this Agreement comply with Section 409A of the Code and the 409A Regulations and, accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted, this Agreement shall be interpreted to be in compliance therewith. The General
Partner, the Partnership and you shall take commercially reasonable efforts to reform or amend any provision hereof to the extent it is reasonably determined that such provision would or could reasonably be expected to cause you to incur any
additional tax or interest under Section 409A or the 409A Regulations to try to comply with the requirements of Section 409A and the 409A Regulations through good faith modifications, in any case, to the minimum extent reasonably
appropriate to conform with such requirements; provided, that any such modification shall not increase the cost or liability to the General Partner or the Partnership. To the extent that any provision hereof is modified in order to comply with
Section 409A and the 409A Regulations, such modification shall be made in good faith and shall, to the maximum extent reasonably possible, maintain the original intent and economic benefit to the General Partner, the Partnership and you of the
applicable provision without violating the provisions of Section 409A and the 409A Regulations. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 7, you are responsible for any and all taxes (including any taxes imposed under
Section 409A of the Code) associated with the grant or exercise of, or otherwise with respect to, the Option and matters related thereto. For purposes of Section 409A of the Code, each payment or amount due under this Agreement shall be
considered a separate payment.  
 8. Miscellaneous.  

(a) No Right to Continued Service. This Award shall not be construed to confer upon you any right to continue as an
employee of or other service provider to the Partnership Entities. Any question as to whether and when there has been a termination of employment or service shall be determined by the Committee and its determination shall be final and binding.
Records of the Partnership Entities regarding your period of service, termination of service, leaves of absence and other matters shall be conclusive for all purposes hereunder, unless determined by the Committee to be incorrect. 

(b) Administration. This Agreement shall at all times be subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan. The Committee
shall have sole and complete discretion with respect to all matters reserved to it by the Plan and decisions of a majority of the Committee with respect thereto and to this Agreement shall be final and binding upon you, the General Partner, the
Partnership and any of their Affiliates. In the event of any conflict between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Plan, the provisions of the Plan shall control. 

(c) No Liability for Good Faith Determinations. The General Partner, the Partnership and their Affiliates, and the
members of the Board and the Committee, shall not be liable for any act, omission or determination taken or made in good faith with respect to this Agreement or the Option granted hereunder. 

  
 5 

 (d) No Guarantee of Interests. The General Partner, the Partnership and
their Affiliates, and the members of the Board and the Committee, do not guarantee the Units from loss or depreciation. 

(e) Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal or invalid for any reason, the illegality or
invalidity shall not affect the remaining provisions hereof, but such provision shall be fully severable and this Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if the illegal or invalid provision had never been included herein. 

(f) Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon you, your legal representatives, heirs, legatees and
distributees, and upon the General Partner, the Partnership and their successors and assigns. 
 (g) Construction. The
titles and headings of sections are included for convenience of reference only and are not to be considered in construction of the provisions hereof. Words used in the masculine shall apply to the feminine where applicable and whenever the context
of this Agreement dictates, the plural shall be read as the singular and the singular as the plural. 
 (h) Governing
Law. All questions arising with respect to the provisions of this Agreement shall be determined by application of the laws of the State of Delaware without regard to choice of law principles thereunder, except to the extent Delaware law is
preempted by federal law. 
 (i) Amendment. This Agreement may be amended by the Committee; provided, however, that,
unless otherwise provided in the Plan, no such amendment may materially reduce your rights or benefits inherent in this Agreement prior to such amendment without your express written consent. 

(j) Furnish Information. You agree to furnish to the General Partner or the Partnership all information requested by
them to enable the General Partner and/or the Partnership to comply with any reporting or other requirements imposed upon them by or under any applicable statute or regulation. 

(k) Execution of Receipts and Releases. Any payment of cash or any issuance or transfer of Units or other property to
you, or to your legal representative, heir, legetee or distributee, shall, to the extent thereof, be in full satisfaction of all claims of such persons hereunder. The Committee may require you or your legal representative, heir, legetee or
distribute, as a condition precedent to such payment or issuance, to execute a release and receipt therefor in such form as it shall determine. 

(l) Consent to Electronic Delivery; Electronic Signature. In lieu of receiving documents in paper format, you agree, to
the fullest extent permitted by law, to accept electronic delivery of any documents that the General Partner or the Partnership 

  
 6 

 
may be required to deliver (including, without limitation, prospectuses, prospectus supplements, grant or award notifications and agreements, account statements, annual and quarterly reports, and
all other forms of communications) in connection with this and any other award made or offered by the Partnership. Electronic delivery may be via an electronic mail system of the Partnership Entities or by reference to a location on a Partnership
intranet to which you have access. You hereby consent to any and all procedures the General Partner or the Partnership has established or may establish for an electronic signature system for delivery and acceptance of any such documents that the
General Partner or the Partnership may be required to deliver, and agree that your electronic signature is the same as, and shall have the same force and effect as, your manual signature.

 Exhibit 10.1 

EXECUTION COPY 

TRANSITION AND SEPARATION AGREEMENT 

This Transition and Separation Agreement (the “Agreement”) is made as of June 9, 2014 by and between Dendreon
Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and John Johnson (“Executive”). The Company and Executive are collectively referred to herein as the “Parties”. Capitalized terms not defined
herein will have the meanings ascribed to them in the Employment Agreement (as defined below). 
 WHEREAS, the Company and Executive are
parties to that certain employment agreement dated as of January 31, 2012, as amended September 20, 2012 (the “Employment Agreement”), pursuant to which Executive currently serves as President and Chief Executive Officer;

 WHEREAS, following a transition period, the Parties desire to terminate their employment relationship and to terminate the Employment
Agreement (except as otherwise explicitly provided herein); 
 NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the promises and the
consideration more fully set forth herein, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the Company and Executive mutually agree as follows: 

1. Resignation as Officer and Employment Termination Date. Executive’s termination of employment will be effective as of
August 15, 2014 (the “Employment Termination Date”). Executive shall resign from his position as an officer of the Company and any other positions he may hold with the Company or any of its affiliates as of the Employment
Termination Date, and Executive agrees that he will execute any and all documents necessary to effect such resignations. 
 2. Employment
Through Employment Termination Date. During the period from the date of this Agreement through the Employment Termination Date, Executive will continue to be employed by the Company as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company in
accordance with terms of his Employment Agreement and in a manner consistent with past services in such roles. 
 3. Payments and
Benefits. 
 (a) Accrued Obligations. Within ten (10) days following the Employment Termination Date, the Company will pay
Executive his full Base Salary and accrued but unused vacation pay through the Employment Termination Date, each at the rate then in effect, plus all other benefits to which Executive has a vested right at that time. 

 (b) Benefit Plans. Executive’s participation in the employee benefit plans and
arrangements of the Company and its affiliates, including the Company’s equity compensation plans shall terminate effective as of the Employment Termination Date. Any vested equity compensation awards held by Executive as of the Employment
Termination Date shall be treated in accordance with the terms of the applicable plan and award agreement. All unvested equity compensation awards held by Executive as of the Employment Termination Date shall terminate as of such date and shall be
of no further force or effect.
 (c) Additional Bonus. In consideration of Executive’s agreements and covenants contained
herein, provided that Executive has delivered an executed release in the form provided by the Company (which shall be a “mutual” release) within twenty-one (21) days following the Employment Termination Date (and any revocation period
with respect to such release has expired), the Company shall pay Executive the following amounts within thirty (30) days following the Employment Termination Date: 

(i) $198,000, less applicable withholding amounts, if Executive remains employed with the Company through August 15, 2014; 

(ii) $75,000, less applicable withholding amounts, if the Company executes and delivers a contract manufacturing agreement with a third-party
on or before August 15, 2014 and Executive is employed by the Company through such execution date; and 
 (iii) $75,000, less
applicable withholding amounts, if the Company executes and delivers a co-promotion agreement on or before August 15, 2014 with a third-party providing that the Company will detail one or more of such third party’s products in
exchange for reimbursement of a portion of DNdN’s sales costs and Executive is employed by the Company through such execution date.

(d) Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code. This Agreement is intended to comply with, or otherwise be exempt from,
Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder (“Section 409A”). Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement, no payment or distribution
under this Agreement that constitutes an item of deferred compensation under Section 409A, and becomes payable by reason of Executive’s termination of employment with the Company will be made to Executive unless Executive’s
termination of employment constitutes a “separation from service” (as the term is defined Section 409A) solely to the extent required to avoid accelerated taxation or tax penalties in respect of such amounts. For purposes of this
Agreement, each amount to be paid or benefit to be provided shall be construed as a separate identified payment for purposes of Section 409A. It is intended that this Agreement shall comply with the provisions of Section 409A so as not to
subject Executive to the payment of additional taxes and interest under Section 409A. In furtherance of this intent, the Agreement shall be interpreted, operated, and administered, and payments hereunder reported, in a manner consistent with
these intentions. To the extent that any reimbursable expenses hereunder are deemed to constitute compensation to Executive, such expenses shall be paid or reimbursed promptly, but not later than by December 31 of the year following the year in
which such expenses were incurred. The amount of such expenses eligible for reimbursement in one calendar year shall not affect the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement in any other calendar year, and Executive’s right to reimbursement
of any such expenses shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for any other benefit. 
 4. Termination of Employment Agreement;
Survival of Restrictive Covenants. The Parties agree that the Employment Agreement shall terminate and be of no further effect, effective as of the Employment Termination Date, except for Article 13 and Section 15.9 of the Employment
Agreement, which shall continue in full force and effect. 

  
 2 

 5. Mutual Non-Disparagement. 

(a) Through the Employment Termination Date and thereafter, Executive agrees not to disparage or encourage or induce others to disparage the
Company, its affiliates or any of their respective current or former officers, directors, employees, consultants, products or services (collectively, the “Company Parties”). For purposes of this Section 5(a), the term
“disparage” means making comments or statements to the press or to any entity with whom the Company or any affiliate has a business relationship (for example, any vendor, supplier, customer, landlord or distributor) or any public
statement, in each case, that is intended to materially damage, can be reasonably expected to materially damage or actually results in material damage to, any of the Company Parties. 

(b) Through the Employment Termination Date and thereafter, the Company agrees to instruct and cause the members of its Board of Directors
and the executive employees of the Company, not to disparage or encourage or induce others to disparage Executive during the time that such individuals provide services to, or are employed by, the Company and its affiliates. For purposes of
this Section 5(b) the term “disparage” means making comments or statements to the press or to any entity with whom Executive has a business relationship (for example, any vendor, supplier, customer, landlord or distributor) or
any public statement, in each case, that is intended to materially damage, can be reasonably expected to materially damage or actually results in material damage to Executive. “Executive employee” means an employee at the senior vice
president level and above. 
 (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 5 shall prevent any person from making any
truthful statement (i) necessary with respect to any litigation, arbitration or mediation involving this Agreement in the forum in which such litigation, arbitration or mediation properly takes place or (ii) that is protected by law or
required by law, legal process or by any court, arbitrator, mediator or administrative or legislative body (including any committee thereof) with apparent jurisdiction over Executive or the Company. 

6. No Additional Obligations. The Company shall not be obligated to pay any sums to Executive or to provide any benefits to Executive
after the Employment Termination Date, except (i) as set forth in this Agreement; and (ii) for reimbursement of business expenses in accordance with Company policy and (iii) for claims or rights to indemnification arising under the
charter or by-laws of the Company (and/or its affiliates) or any rights arising from the director and officer insurance policy or policies of the Company or under Section 15.9 of the Employment Agreement. 

7. Cooperation Following Employment Termination Date. Following the Employment Termination Date, Executive agrees to cooperate and
assist the Company so as to aid the Company in connection with de minimis informational requests relating to Executive’s employment by the Company or about which Executive is knowledgeable. 

8. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the respective successors and (in the case
of the Company) assigns of the Parties to this Agreement. 
 9 Choice of Law. To the extent not preempted by federal law, the
provisions of this Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the state of Delaware. Venue for any action arising from this Agreement shall be exclusively in King County, Washington.

 10. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement shall be held invalid, void or
unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remaining provisions shall not be affected thereby and shall remain in full force and effect. In the event that any covenant contained herein is not enforceable in accordance with its terms,
Executive and the Company agree that such provision shall be reformed to make it enforceable in a manner that provides as nearly as possible the result intended by this Agreement. 

11. Entire Agreement. This Agreement contains the entire agreement between the Parties pertaining to the subject matter hereof, and
shall be considered and understood to be a contractual commitment and not a mere recital. No covenants, agreements, representations, or warranties of any kind whatsoever, whether express or implied in law or fact, have been made by the Parties,
except as specifically set forth in this Agreement. This Agreement supersedes any and all prior and contemporaneous agreements, term sheets, negotiations and understandings, whether written or oral, pertaining to the subject matter hereof. 

12. Modifications. No modification, amendment, or waiver of any of the provisions contained in this Agreement, or any future
representations, promise, or condition in connection with the subject matter of this Agreement, shall be binding upon any party to this Agreement unless made in writing and signed by such party. 

13. Voluntary Agreement. EXECUTIVE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT HE HAS READ AND UNDERSTANDS THE FOREGOING PROVISIONS AND THOSE SUCH PROVISIONS ARE
REASONABLE AND ENFORCEABLE. EXECUTIVE FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT HE HAS SIGNED THIS AGREEMENT AS HIS OWN AND VOLUNTARY ACT.
