d. I understand that this Agreement is a general release of Delta and the other Released Parties from any past or existing claim or potential claim
including any claim or potential claim relating to my employment relationship with Delta, and termination of that relationship;
e. I have been given a period of twenty-one (21) days in which to consider whether to sign this Agreement and to consult with an attorney,
accountant, tax advisor, spouse, or any other person. I have either used this full twenty-one (21) day period to consider this Agreement, or have
voluntarily chosen to execute this Agreement before the end of that period;
f. I understand I have seven (7) calendar days after signing this Agreement to revoke this Agreement (the "Revocation Period"). To revoke this
Agreement, I must notify Delta of the intent to revoke through a signed statement delivered to Rob Kight, Delta Air Lines, Inc., ATG Department 948,
1030 Delta Blvd., Atlanta, Georgia 30354-6001, or to such other person and address as Delta may designate in writing, on or before the last day of the
Revocation Period. I acknowledge that this Agreement will not take effect until the day after the Revocation Period has expired, provided that I have
not exercised my revocation right. If I revoke this Agreement, it shall immediately be void and of no further force or effect and I will not receive the
Severance Benefits referred to in Section 2 of this Agreement; otherwise, this Agreement will be fully effective and enforceable as of the day after the
Revocation Period.
7. Return of Property. I agree that all property belonging to Delta, including records, files, memoranda, reports, personnel information (including
benefit files, training records, customer lists, operating procedure manuals, safety manuals, financial statements, price lists and the like), relating to the
business of Delta, which I have come in contact with in the course of my employment (hereinafter "Delta's Materials") shall, as between the parties hereto,
remain the sole property of Delta. I hereby warrant that I have returned all originals and copies of Delta's Materials to Delta.
8. Cooperation. I agree that I shall, to the extent requested in writing and reasonable under the circumstances, cooperate with and serve in any capacity
requested by Delta in any pending or future litigation in which Delta has an interest, and regarding which I, by virtue of my employment with Delta, have
knowledge or information relevant to the litigation. Delta shall reimburse me for reasonable and necessary out-of-pocket expenses that I incur in connection
with such cooperation.
9. Trade Secrets. I hereby acknowledge that during the term of my employment with Delta, I had access to and acquired knowledge of secret,
confidential and proprietary information regarding, Delta and its business that fits within the definition of "trade secrets" under the law of the State of Georgia,
including, without limitation, information regarding Delta's present and future operations, its financial operations, marketing plans and strategies, alliance
agreements and relationships, its compensation and incentive programs for employees, and the business methods used by Delta and its employees, and other
information which derives economic value, actual or potential, from not being generally known to, and not being readily ascertainable by proper means by,
other persons who can obtain economic value from its disclosure or use, and is the subject of efforts that are reasonable under the circumstances to maintain
its secrecy (each, a "Trade Secret"). I hereby agree that, for so long as such information remains a Trade Secret as defined by Georgia law, I will hold in a
fiduciary capacity for the benefit of Delta and shall not directly or indirectly make use of, on my own behalf or on behalf of others, any Trade Secret, or
transmit, reveal or disclose any Trade Secret to any person, concern or entity. Nothing in this Agreement is intended, or shall be construed, to limit the
protections of any applicable law protecting trade secrets.
10. Confidential or Proprietary Information. I further agree that I will hold in a fiduciary capacity for the benefit of Delta, and, during the two year
period beginning on the date I sign this Agreement (the "Effective Date"), shall not directly or indirectly use or disclose, any Confidential or Proprietary
Information, as defined hereinafter, that I may have acquired (whether or not developed or compiled by me and whether or not I was authorized to have access
to such Confidential or Proprietary Information) during the term of, in the course of, or as a result of my employment by Delta. Subject to the provisions set
forth below, the term "Confidential or Proprietary Information" as used in this Agreement means the following secret, confidential and proprietary
information of Delta not otherwise included in the definition of Trade Secret: all marketing, alliance, advertising and sales plans and strategies; all pricing
information; all financial, advertising and product development plans
