bearing on your employment or the termination of your employment, such as Claims for wrongful discharge, discrimination, hostile work environment, breach of contract, tortious interference, harassment, bullying, infliction of emotional distress, defamation, back pay, vacation pay, sick pay, wage, commission or bonus payment, equity grants, stock options, restricted stock option payments, payments under any bonus or incentive plan, attorneys’ fees, costs and future wage loss.

However, as described in Section 11, this Agreement does not and cannot prevent you from asserting your right to bring a claim against the Company and Releasees, as defined below, before the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission or other agencies enforcing non-discrimination laws or the National Labor Relations Board.
Whose Possible Claims Are You Giving Up? You are waiving Claims that you may otherwise be able to bring. You are not only agreeing that you will not personally bring these Claims in the future, but that no one else will bring them in your place, such as your heirs and executors, and your dependents, legal representatives and assigns. Together, you and these groups of individuals are referred to in the Agreement as “Releasors.”
Who Are You Releasing From Possible Claims? You are not only waiving Claims that you and the Releasors may otherwise be able to bring against the Company, but also Claims that could be brought against “Releasees,” which means the Company and all of their past, present and future:
| • | officers, directors, employees, attorneys and agents |
| • | subsidiaries, divisions and affiliated and related entities |
| • | employee benefit and pension plans or funds |
| • | trustees, fiduciaries and administrators |
Possible Claims You May Not Know. It is possible that you may have a Claim that you do not know exists. By entering into this Agreement, you are giving up all Claims that you ever had including Claims arising out of your employment or the termination of your employment. Even if Claims exist that you do not know about, you are giving them up.
What Types of Claims Are You Giving Up? In exchange for the pay and benefits in Section 3, you (on behalf of yourself and the Releasors) forever release and discharge the Company and all of the Releasees from any and all Claims including Claims arising under the following laws (including amendments to these laws):
Federal Laws, such as:
| • | The Age Discrimination in Employment Act; |
| • | The Older Workers Benefit Protection Act; |
| • | Title VII of the Civil Rights of 1964; |
