B. Mr. Wulff acknowledges that he may have sustained damages, costs, or expenses that are presently unknown and that relate to claims against the Releasees. Mr. Wulff expressly waives and relinquishes all rights and benefits which he may have under any state or federal statute or common law principles that would otherwise limit the effect of this Agreement to claims known or suspected prior to the date he signs this Agreement and does so understanding and acknowledging the significance and consequences of such specific waiver.

C. The above waiver and release does not affect Mr. Wulff s right to file a charge or cooperate in an investigation with the United States Equal Opportunity Commission or any governmental entity, but it is understood and agreed that Mr. Wulff waives, releases, and gives up any right to reinstatement, reimbursement, money damages, or other payment or monetary benefit with regard to or arising out of any such charge, investigation, agency or administrative adjudication, or litigation.

D. If any term of this section shall be declared unenforceable by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction, it shall not adversely affect the enforceability of the remainder of this section.

E. Mr. Wulff acknowledges and agrees that while this section sets forth a broad release under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, the Arizona Civil Rights Act, and any other federal, state, or local law that prohibits sexual harassment, Mr. Wulff has never asserted a claim for sexual harassment and has no such claim against any of the Releasees as of the date of this Agreement. Mr. Wulff further acknowledges that no portion of the benefits he is receiving under the terms of this Agreement relate in any way to a claim for sexual harassment.

F. Mr. Wulff acknowledges he is waiving all claims he may have under the Arizona Employment Protection Act. Mr. Wulff acknowledges he has not been retaliated against by Company (or any agent or employee thereof) for: (a) disclosing, or threatening to disclose to a supervisor or to a public body an activity, policy or practice of Company that Mr. Wulff reasonably believed was in violation of law, rule or regulation or that Mr. Wulff reasonably believed posed a substantial and specific danger to the public health or safety; (b) provided information to, or testified before, any public body conducting an investigation, hearing or inquiry into any such activity, policy or practice by Company; or (c) objected to, or refused to participate in any such activity, policy or practice.

Mr. Wulff acknowledges he has not been discriminated or retaliated against by the Company (or any agent or employee thereof) for any conduct described in §1703 of the Delaware Whistleblowers Protection Act.

H. Mr. Wulff understands and agrees he is not waiving any claim for: (i) Unemployment Insurance Benefits under the Arizona Labor Law; or (ii) workers’ compensation benefits for any workplace injury or occupational illness under the Arizona Workers’ Compensation Act. The Company agrees that in the event Mr. Wulff files a claim for unemployment insurance benefits, the Company shall not contest such a claim or assert that Mr. Wulff should be disqualified from receiving benefits.

I. Waiver of CA Civil Code Section 1542. Mr. Wulff understands and agrees that the claims released in 2 above include not only claims presently known to Mr. Wulff, but also include all unknown or unanticipated claims, rights, demands, actions, obligations, liabilities, and causes of action of every kind and character that would otherwise come within the scope of the released claims as described in 112. Mr. Wulff understands that he may hereafter discover facts different from what he now believes to be true, which if known, could have materially affected this Agreement, but Mr. Wulff nevertheless waives any claims or rights based on different or additional facts. Mr. Wulff knowingly and voluntarily waives any and all rights or benefits that he may now have, or in the future may have, under the terms of Section 1542 of the Civil Code of the State of California, which provides as follows: A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS THAT THE CREDITOR OR RELEASING PARTY DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THERELEASE AND THAT, IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER, WOULD HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR OR RELEASED PARTY.

3. The Parties Do Not Admit Any Liability. The Parties understand and agree that this Agreement, and the consideration rendered in accordance with this Agreement, is not to be, in whole or in part, construed or deemed evidence of any admission or concession on the part of the Parties or the Releasees of any liability whatsoever. This Agreement is intended only to avoid the expense and inconvenience of litigation, and is not, and shall not be deemed, an admission of liability, or a violation of any law, rule, regulation, or order. Each Party specifically disclaims and denies any liability to the other, including responsibility for payment of the other Party’s attorneys’ fees.

B. Mr. Wulff acknowledges and agrees that the clawback and recovery provisions set forth in Section 6 of Mr. Wulff s employment agreement with the Company (the “Clawback Rights”) remain in full force and effect following the Separation Date and continue to apply in accordance with their terms (including, for the avoidance of doubt, during the three (3) year period following the Separation Date).
