paragraph 3, Employee agrees and understands that Employee is specifically
releasing all claims under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA),
as amended, 29 U.S.C. Section 621 et seq. Employee states that his waiver
------
of ADEA claims is knowing and voluntary, and he understands that he is
forever releasing INTELIDATA and its Affiliates and covenanting not to sue
with respect to such claims. Employee further acknowledges that Employee
has had, or waives his right to have, at least twenty-one (21) days to
consider this Agreement and to waive and release any claims he might have
against INTELIDATA and its Affiliates, including claims under the ADEA.
This Agreement shall become effective and enforceable seven (7) days after
the date it is executed, and Employee understands that he has the right to
review it with an attorney of his choice and to revoke this Agreement at
any time within that seven (7) day period. If Employee elects to revoke
this Agreement within this seven-day period, Employee must do so by
delivering a written notice of revocation to the INTELIDATA CEO no later
than 5:00 p.m. on the seventh day after Employee has signed the Agreement.

agrees to refund the entire amount of that payment to INTELIDATA by
certified check within forty-eight (48) hours of revocation.

release, as well as the other promises made herein, and exceed anything of
value to which Employee is owed by INTELIDATA.
