General Release by Executive. Executive unconditionally, irrevocably and absolutely releases and discharges the Company, and any parent and subsidiary corporations, divisions and affiliated corporations, partnerships or other affiliated entities of the Company, past and present, as well as the Company’s employees, officers, directors, agents, successors and assigns (collectively, “Released Parties”), from all claims related in any way to the transactions or occurrences between them to date, to the fullest extent permitted by law, including, but not limited to, Executive’s employment with the Company, the termination of Executive’s employment, and all other losses, liabilities, claims, charges, demands and causes of action, known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, arising directly or indirectly out of or in any way connected with Executive’s employment with the Company. This release is intended to have the broadest possible application and includes, but is not limited to, any tort, contract, common law, constitutional or other statutory claims arising under local state or federal law, including, but not limited to alleged violations of the California Labor Code, the California Fair Employment and Housing Act, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Americans with Disabilities Act, and the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, as amended, and all claims for attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses. Executive expressly waives Executive’s right to recovery of any type, including damages or reinstatement, in any administrative or court action, whether state or federal, and whether brought by Executive or on Executive’s behalf, related in any way to the matters released herein. However, this general release is not intended to bar any claims that, by statute, may not be waived, such as claims for workers’ compensation benefits, unemployment insurance benefits, statutory indemnity, any challenge to the validity of Executive’s release of claims under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, as amended, as set forth in this General Release Agreement; any claims for payment or benefits under the Executive Employment Agreement made effective as of ​, 2017 by and between the Company and the Executive; any claim or cause of action for indemnification pursuant to any applicable indemnification agreement, any D&O insurance policy applicable to Executive and/or the Company's certificates of incorporation, charter and by-laws or any claim for contribution or any rights Executive may have to vested benefits under any health and welfare plans or other employee benefit plans or programs sponsored by the Company.

Exclusions from General Release. Excluded from the General Release above are any claims or rights which cannot be waived by law, including my rights to accrued vacation, if any. Nothing in this Waiver and Release Agreement shall be construed to prohibit me from filing a charge with an administrative agency, including the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission or participating in an agency investigation. I am, however, waiving all rights to recover money or other individual relief in connection with any administrative charge, whether filed by me or another individual or entity.

General Restriction of Release.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above, if, with respect to any particular transaction(s), it is impossible or impracticable under the circumstances to comply with the procedures set forth in subsections [(a) and (b) of this Section 5.7] (including the time periods specified therein), the Parties will cooperate to find a mutually agreeable alternative that will achieve substantially similar economic results from the point of view of the Paying Party or the Other Party, as the case may be; provided, however, that if a Receiving Party cannot comply with the procedures set forth in subsection # of this Section 5.7 because it does not become aware of a Receipt on behalf of the Other Party in time, such Receiving Party shall remit such Receipt (without interest thereon) to the Other Party within 24 hours after it becomes aware of such Receipt.

Certain Exceptions. The limitations set forth in [Section 10.4(a)(i)] and [Section 10.4(a)(ii)] shall not apply to or otherwise limit # the ability of Buyer to recover any Losses under the Representation and Warranty Insurance Policy, or # the indemnification obligations of any Seller with respect to any Losses of the Buyer Indemnified Parties resulting from, in connection with or arising from any Fraud by any Seller.

Whistleblower Exceptions. Executive understands and acknowledges that nothing contained in this Agreement prohibits Executive from reporting possible violations of federal law or regulation to any federal, state or local governmental agency or commission, or communicating with or otherwise participating in any investigations or proceedings that are protected under the whistleblower provisions of federal law or regulation. Executive shall not be required to provide notice to of, or receive prior authorization from for, any such communications or disclosures. This Agreement does not limit Executive’s right to receive an award for information provided to any such governmental agency or commission.

Release. The receipt of any payments and/or other benefits under this Agreement in excess of Accrued Benefits is subject to Executive signing and not revoking a separation agreement and release of claims in the form attached hereto (except as otherwise required by applicable law) as Exhibit B and incorporated herein by reference (the “Release”), which Release must become effective no later than the sixtieth (60th) day following Executive’s termination of Employment less all payroll deductions and required withholdings and otherwise in accordance with the [[Organization A:Organization]]’s standard payroll practices. To become effective, the Release must be timely executed by Executive and returned to [[Organization A:Organization]], and any revocation periods (as required by statute, regulation, or otherwise) must have expired without Executive having revoked the Release. In addition, in no event will any severance payments or other termination benefits be paid or provided until the Release actually becomes effective, and such payment(s) to be paid on the first regular [[Organization A:Organization]] payroll date following the last day of the calendar month during which such Release becomes effective. All amounts paid under this Agreement as subject to applicable deductions and tax and other withholdings.
