In addition to waiving and releasing the claims covered by that paragraph 1 above, I further agree never to sue the Company and/or any of the other Releasees or become party to a lawsuit on the basis of any claim of any type whatsoever arising out of or related to my employment with and/or separation from employment with the Company and/or any of the other Releasees. I agree not to become a member of any class in any case in which claims are asserted against the Company. I warrant and represent that I have not filed any complaint, claim or lawsuit against the Company with any governmental agency or with any court. Notwithstanding this Covenant Not To Sue, I may bring a claim against the Company and/or any of the other Releasees to enforce this Agreement or to challenge the validity of this Waiver and Release Agreement under the ADEA. I further acknowledge and agree in the event that I breach this paragraph, then # the Company shall be entitled to apply for and receive an injunction to restrain such violation of this paragraph, # I shall be obligated to pay the Company its costs and expenses incurred in enforcing this paragraph and defending against such lawsuit (including court costs, expenses and reasonable legal fees), and # as an alternative to (ii), at the Company’s option, I shall be obligated upon demand to repay to the Company all but $250 of any severance payment paid to me under paragraph 2 of the Letter Agreement. I further agree that this Covenant Not to Sue will not affect the validity of the Letter Agreement and will not be deemed to be a penalty or a forfeiture.
