Covenant Not to Sue. Executive represents that he or she has no claims pending or filed with any local, state or federal agency (including the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the U.S. Department of Labor, and any comparable state or local administrative agency) or court against the Employer as of the date this Agreement was signed by Executive. 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. The foregoing shall be construed as a covenant not to sue. This Agreement may be introduced as evidence at any legal proceeding as a complete defense to any claims existing as of the date of this Agreement ever asserted by Executive against the Employer.

Covenant Not to Sue. The Executive expressly represents that he or she has not filed a lawsuit or initiated any other administrative proceeding against the Company and that he or she has not assigned any claim against the Company to any other person or entity. The Company expressly represents that it has not filed a lawsuit or initiated any other administrative proceeding against the Executive and that it has not assigned any claim against the Executive to any other person or entity. Both the Executive and Company further promise not to initiate a lawsuit or to bring any other claim against the other arising out of or in any way related to the Executive’s employment by the Company or the termination of that employment (other than claims described in Section 2.3). Notwithstanding anything in this Release to the contrary, this Release will not prevent the Executive from filing a charge with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (or similar state agency) or participating in any investigation conducted by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (or similar state agency); provided, however, that any claims by the Executive for personal relief in connection with such a charge or investigation (such as reinstatement or monetary damages) will be barred.
