is intended to include all claims, if any, covered under this Paragraph 2 that such Party may have and not now know or suspect to exist
in her or its favor against any other Party and that this Release extinguishes such claims. Thus, each of the Parties expressly waives all
rights under any statute or common law principle in any jurisdiction that provides, in effect, that a general release does not extend to

right to revoke this Release for a period of seven (7) days after signing it and that this Release shall not become effective until such
seven (7)-day period has expired. Executive acknowledges and agrees that if she wishes to revoke this Release, she must do so in
writing, and that such revocation must be signed by Executive and received by the Company in care of the Chair of the Board of
Directors no later than 5 p.m. (Eastern Time) on the seventh (7th) day after Executive has signed this Release. Executive
acknowledges and agrees that, in the event that she revokes this Release, she shall have no right to receive the Severance Benefit.
Executive represents that she has read this Release, including the release set forth in Paragraph 2(a), above, affirms that this Release
and the Employment Agreement provide her with benefits to which she would not otherwise be entitled, and understands its terms and
that she enters into this Release freely, voluntarily, and without coercion.
3. Executive acknowledges that she has received all compensation to which she is entitled for her work up to her last

any other reason, other than the Severance Benefit.

5. The Parties agree that their respective rights and obligations under the Employment Agreement shall survive the
execution of this Release.
