NOW THEREFORE IN CONSIDERATION of the mutual covenants and agreement contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:

In exchange for the consideration provided in this Agreement, the Employee and the Employee’s heirs, executors, representatives, administrators, agents, and assigns (collectively, the “Releasors”) irrevocably and unconditionally fully and forever waive, release, and discharge the Employer, including the Employer’s parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, predecessors, successors, and assigns, and each of its and their respective officers, directors, employees, and shareholders, in their corporate and individual capacities (collectively, the “Released Parties”), from any and all claims, demands, actions, causes of actions, judgments, rights, fees, damages, debts, obligations, liabilities, and expenses (inclusive of attorneys’ fees) of any kind whatsoever, whether known or unknown (collectively, “Claims”), that the Releasors may have or have ever had against the Released Parties, or any of them, by reason of any actual or alleged act, omission, transaction, practice, conduct, occurrence, or other matter from the beginning of time up to and including the date of the Employee’s execution of this Agreement, including but not limited to:

However, this general release and waiver of claims excludes, and the Employee does not waive, release, or discharge: (A) claims that cannot be waived by law, such as claims for workers’ compensation; and (B) any right to file an unfair labor practice (ULP) charge under the National Labor Relations Act or participate or assist in proceedings before the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) (C) indemnification rights the Employee has against the Employer.

This general release and waiver of claims also excludes, and the Employee does not waive, release, or discharge: (AA) the right to file an administrative charge or complaint with, or testify, assist, or participate in an investigation, hearing, or proceeding conducted by or before, or provide information to any government agencies about a condition or violation of law; and (BB) the right to seek or receive a monetary award from a government-administered whistleblower award program, except that the Employee waives any right to monetary relief related to an administrative charge or complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), the California Civil Rights Department (CRD), or any state or local fair employment practices agency.

This Agreement is intended to be effective as a general release of and bar to all claims as stated in this Section.

Nevertheless, the Releasors waive any and all Claims that might arise as a result of such different or additional claims or facts.

In further consideration of the payments and benefits provided to the Employee in this Agreement, the Releasors hereby irrevocably and unconditionally fully and forever waive, release, and discharge the Released Parties from any and all Claims, whether known or unknown, from the beginning of time through the date of the Employee’s execution of this Agreement, arising under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA), as amended, and its implementing regulations. By signing this Agreement, the Employee hereby acknowledges and confirms that:
