relinquish all rights and benefits under that section and any law of any
jurisdiction of similar effect with respect to my release of any claims I may

forever discharge the Company, its parents, subsidiaries and affiliates, and
their officers, directors, agents, servants, employees, shareholders,
successors, assigns and affiliates, of and from any and all claims, liabilities,
demands, causes of action, costs, expenses, attorneys' fees, damages,
indemnities and obligations of every kind and nature, in law, equity, or
otherwise, known and unknown, suspected and unsuspected, disclosed and
undisclosed (other than any claim for indemnification I may have as a result of
any third party action against me based on my employment with the Company),
arising out of or in any way related to agreements, events, acts or conduct at

commissions, stock, stock options, or any other equity or ownership interests in
the Company, vacation pay, fringe benefits, expense reimbursements, severance
pay, or any other form of equity or compensation; claims pursuant to any
federal, state or local law or cause of action including, but not limited to,
