Notwithstanding this covenant not to sue, the Executive may bring a claim against the Company to enforce this Agreement, to challenge the validity of this Agreement under the ADEA or for any claim that arises after execution of this Agreement. If the Executive sues any of the Releasees in violation of this Agreement, the Executive shall be liable to them for their reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs (including the costs of experts, evidence, and counsel) and other litigation costs incurred in defending against the Executive’s suit.

Executive further agrees that he or she will not file or participate in any lawsuit against the Employer arising out of or in connection with the employment relationship previously existing between them or the termination of that relationship other than one based upon the Employer’s alleged violation of this Agreement.
