This means that, without limitation, I give up all claims for:

any pay/compensation/benefits including bonuses, commissions, equity, expenses, overtime, incentives, insurance, paid/unpaid leave, profit sharing, or separation pay/benefits;

compensatory/emotional/distress damages, punitive or liquidated damages, attorney fees, costs, interest or penalties;

unlawful or tortious conduct such as assault or battery; background check violations; defamation; detrimental reliance; fiduciary breach; fraud; indemnification; intentional or negligent infliction of emotional distress; interference with contractual or other legal rights; invasion of privacy; loss of consortium; misrepresentation; negligence (including negligent hiring, retention, or supervision); personal injury; promissory estoppel; public policy violation; retaliatory discharge; safety violations; posting or records-related violations; wrongful discharge; or other federal, state or local statutory or common law matters;

any participation in any class or collective action against the Company.

2.	Exclusions.

Notwithstanding the general release of claims in Section 1 hereof, I do not discharge and release the Company and the Company Releasees from any liability for claims arising under or relating out of (i) the payments and benefits to which I am entitled to under Section 3 of my Transition Agreement with the Company dated January 16, 2018, (ii) any rights to indemnification I may have as an officer under the bylaws of the Company, applicable law, or any other agreement between me and the Company or as an insured under any directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy now or previously in force, or (iii) any claims that, as a matter of applicable law, are not waivable.

Nothing contained in this Release limits the my ability to file a charge or complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (the “EEOC”).

This Agreement shall become effective on the first day following the expiration of the seven (7)-day revocation period.
