Except as provided in Section 9(b), the Company and the Company Parties do hereby irrevocably and unconditionally release, acquit and forever discharge Employee and the Employee Parties, from any and all actions, causes of action, suits, claims, obligations, liabilities, debts, demands, contentions, damages, judgments, levies and executions of any kind, whether in law or in equity, known or unknown, including but not limited to claims which the Company has or has had against the Employee Parties by reason of, arising out of, related to, or resulting from Employee’s employment with the Company or the termination thereof, existing as of the Effective Date.

Release. Your entitlement to the payments and benefits described in this paragraph 11 is conditioned on your execution and delivery to the Company, within sixty (60) days after your termination of employment (the “Release Deadline”), of a release in substantially the form appended hereto as Appendix A that remains in effect and becomes irrevocable after the expiration of any statutory period in which you are permitted to revoke a release (the “Release”). If you fail to execute and deliver the Release by the Release Deadline, or if you thereafter effectively revoke the Release, the Company shall be under no obligation to make any further payments or provide any further benefits to you and any payments and benefits previously provided to you pursuant to this paragraph 11 shall not have been earned. In such event, you shall promptly repay the Company any payments made and the Company’s direct cost for any benefits provided to you pursuant to this paragraph 11. The limitations of this paragraph shall not apply to the Accrued Compensation and Benefits.

Release. In consideration of the payments and benefits provided to the Executive under the Employment Agreement and after consultation with counsel, the Executive and each of the Executive’s respective heirs, executors, administrators, representatives, agents, insurers, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Releasors”) hereby irrevocably and unconditionally release and forever discharge the Company, Paramount and their subsidiaries and affiliates, predecessors, successors and each of their respective officers, employees, directors, shareholders and agents (“Releasees”) from any and all claims, actions, causes of action, rights, judgments, obligations, damages, demands, accountings or liabilities of whatever kind or character (collectively, “Claims”), including, without limitation, any Claims under any federal, state, local or foreign law, that the Releasors may have, or in the future may possess, arising out of # the Executive’s employment relationship with and service as an employee, officer or director of the Company, or any subsidiaries, successors, predecessors or affiliated companies and the termination of such relationship or service, and # any event, condition, circumstance or obligation that occurred, existed or arose on or prior to the date hereof and relates to your employment with the Company; provided, however, that the Executive does not release, discharge or waive any rights to # payments and benefits provided under the Employment Agreement that are contingent upon the execution by the Executive of this Agreement or otherwise expressly survive termination thereof and # any indemnification rights the Executive may have in accordance with the Company’s governance instruments or under any director and officer liability insurance maintained by the Company with respect to liabilities arising as a result of the Executive’s service as an officer and employee of the Company. Executive represents that the Executive does not have, and has not asserted, any Claims for or allegations concerning sexual or gender-based harassment with respect to the Executive’s employment with the Company.

Release. As a condition to Executive’s receipt of any post-termination benefits pursuant to [Sections 4(c) and 4(d)])] above (collectively, the “Severance Benefits”), Executive shall execute and not revoke a general release of all claims in favor of the Company (the “Release”) in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A. In the event the Release does not become effective within the fifty-five (55) day period following the Separation Date, Executive shall not be entitled to the aforesaid payments and benefits.

Release. For and in consideration of the foregoing covenants and promises made by the Company and the Bank, and the performance of such covenants and promises, the sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Executive understands that, as a condition of the payment of amounts under [Section 5] of this Agreement, Executive will be required to execute a general release of all then existing claims against the Company, the Bank, their affiliates, shareholders, directors, officers, employees and agents in relation to claims relating to or arising out of the Executive’s employment with the Company and the Bank in a form substantially consistent with the Bank’s standard form of general release used for officers and not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement (the “Release”), and the Executive shall not receive any payments or benefits to which he may be entitled hereunder that are subject to the execution of a Release unless the Executive satisfies this release requirement. THE EXECUTIVE’S RIGHT TO BENEFITS UNDER SECTION 5 OF THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONTINGENT ON HIS SIGNING AND FILING THE RELEASE WITHIN THE PERIOD SPECIFIED IN THE RELEASE, WHICH PERIOD WILL NOT EXCEED 45 DAYS FROM THE DATE THE BANK PROVIDES THE RELEASE TO THE EXECUTIVE, AND NOT REVOKING THE RELEASE WITHIN THE PERIOD SPECIFIED IN THE RELEASE, WHICH PERIOD WILL NOT EXCEED 7 DAYS FROM THE DATE THE EXECUTIVE SIGNS THE RELEASE.

Release. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, to the extent that any payments due under this Agreement as a result of Executive’s termination of employment are subject to Executive’s execution and delivery of the Release, # if Executive fails to execute the Release on or prior to the Release Expiration Date (as defined below) or timely revokes Executive’s acceptance of the Release thereafter, Executive shall not be entitled to any payments or benefits otherwise conditioned on the Release, and # in any case where Executive’s Date of Termination and the last day the Release may be considered or, if applicable, revoked, fall in two separate taxable years, any payments required to be made to Executive that are conditioned on the Release and are treated as nonqualified deferred compensation for purposes of [Section 409A] shall be made in the later taxable year. For purposes of this Section 10(d), “Release Expiration Date” shall mean # if Executives is under 40 years old as of the Date of Termination, the date that is seven (7) days following the date upon which the Company timely delivers the Release to Executive, and # if Executive is 40 years or older as of the Date of Termination, the date that is 21 days following the date upon which the Company timely delivers the Release to Executive, or, in the event that Executive’s termination of employment is “in connection with an exit incentive or other employment termination program” (as such phrase is defined in the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967), the date that is 45 days following such delivery date. To the extent that any payments of nonqualified deferred compensation (within the meaning of [Section 409A]) due under this Agreement as a result of Executive’s termination of employment are delayed pursuant to this Section 10(d), such amounts shall be paid in a lump sum on the first payroll date following the date that Executive executes and does not revoke the Release (and the applicable revocation period has expired) or, in the case of any payments subject to Section 10(d)(ii), on the first payroll period to occur in the subsequent taxable year, if later.

Release. The Company advises Executive to consult with an attorney of his choosing prior to signing this Agreement. Executive understands and agrees that he has the right and has been given the opportunity to review this Agreement and, specifically, the General Release in Section 1 above, with an attorney. Executive also understands and agrees that he is under no obligation to consent to the General Release set forth in Section 1 above. Executive acknowledges and agrees that the payments to be made to Executive pursuant to the Employment Agreement are sufficient consideration to require him to abide with his obligations under this Agreement, including but not limited to the General Release set forth in Section 1. Executive represents that he has read this Agreement, including the General Release set forth in Section 1, and understands its terms and that he enters into this Agreement freely, voluntarily, and without coercion.

Release. Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce Fronting Exposure or to secure other obligations shall be released promptly following # the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure or other obligations giving rise thereto (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender), or # the determination by the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuers that there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided, that, the Person providing Cash Collateral and the L/C Issuers may agree that Cash Collateral shall not be released but instead held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations.

Release. The Borrower for itself and each other Loan Party hereby acknowledges and agrees that: # neither it nor any of its Subsidiaries has any claim or cause of action against the Agent or any Lender (or any of the directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys or consultants of any of the foregoing), and # the Agent and the Lenders have heretofore properly performed and satisfied in a timely manner all of their obligations to the Loan Parties, and all of their Subsidiaries and Affiliates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Agent and the Lenders wish (and the Borrower for itself and each other Loan Party agrees) to eliminate any possibility that any past conditions, acts, omissions, events or circumstances would impair or otherwise adversely affect any of their rights, interests, security and/or remedies. Accordingly, for and in consideration of the agreements contained in this Amendment and other good and valuable consideration, the Borrower (for itself and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates and the successors, assigns, heirs and representatives of each of the foregoing) (collectively, the “Releasors”) does hereby fully, finally, unconditionally and irrevocably release, waive and forever discharge the Agent and the Lenders, together with their respective Affiliates and Related Funds, and each of the directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys and consultants of each of the foregoing (collectively, the “Released Parties”), from any and all debts, claims, allegations, obligations, damages, costs, attorneys’ fees, suits, demands, liabilities, actions, proceedings and causes of action, in each case, whether known or unknown, contingent or fixed, direct or indirect, and of whatever nature or description, and whether in law or in equity, under contract, tort, statute or otherwise, which any Releasor has heretofore had or now or hereafter can, shall or may have against any Released Party by reason of any act, omission or thing whatsoever done or omitted to be done, in each case, on or prior to the Amendment Effective Date directly arising out of, connected with or related to this Amendment, the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any act, event or transaction related or attendant thereto, or the agreements of the Agent or any Lender contained therein, or the possession, use, operation or control of any of the assets of any Loan Party, or the making of any Loans or other advances, or the management of such Loans or other advances or the Collateral. The Borrower for itself and each other Loan Party represents and warrants that it has no knowledge of any claim by any Releasor against any Released Party or of any facts or acts or omissions of any Released Party which on the date hereof would be the basis of a claim by any Releasor against any Released Party which would not be released hereby.
