Pre-Release Subject to the further terms and provisions of this Section 2.10, the Depositary, its Affiliates and their agents, on their own behalf, may own and deal in any class of securities of the Company and its Affiliates and in ADSs. In its capacity as Depositary, the Depositary may (i) issue ADSs prior to the receipt of Shares (each such transaction a "Pre-Release Transaction") as provided below and (ii) Deliver Shares upon the receipt and cancellation of ADSs that were issued in a Pre-Release Transaction, but for which Shares may not yet have been received. The Depositary may receive ADSs in lieu of Shares under (i) above and receive Shares in lieu of ADSs under (ii) above. Each such Pre-Release Transaction will be (a) subject to a written agreement whereby the person or entity (the "Applicant") to whom ADSs or Shares are to be Delivered (1) represents that at the time of the Pre-Release Transaction the Applicant or its customer owns the Shares or ADSs that are to be Delivered by the Applicant under such Pre-Release Transaction, (2) agrees to indicate the Depositary as owner of such Shares or ADSs in its records and to hold such Shares or ADSs in trust for the Depositary until such Shares or ADSs are Delivered to the Depositary or the Custodian, (3) unconditionally guarantees to deliver to the Depositary or the Custodian, as applicable, such Shares or ADSs, and (4) agrees to any additional restrictions or requirements that the Depositary deems appropriate, (b) at all times fully collateralized with cash, United States government securities or such other collateral as the Depositary deems appropriate, (c) terminable by the Depositary on not more than five (5) Business Days' notice and (d) subject to such further indemnities and credit regulations as the Depositary deems appropriate. The Depositary will normally limit the number of ADSs and Shares involved in such Pre-Release Transactions at any one time to thirty percent (30%) of the ADSs outstanding (without giving effect to ADSs outstanding under (i) above), provided, however, that the Depositary reserves the right to disregard such limit from time to time as it deems appropriate. The Depositary may also set limits with respect to the number of ADSs and Shares involved in Pre-Release Transactions with any one person on a case by case basis as it deems appropriate. The Depositary may retain for its own account any compensation received by it in conjunction with the foregoing. Collateral provided pursuant to (b) above, but not the earnings thereon, shall be held for the benefit of the Holders (other than the Applicant).

Release Agreement Notwithstanding any provision of the Agreement to the contrary, in order to receive the vesting acceleration provided under Section 6(a)(4)(A) or the severance benefits provided under Section 6(b)(1), (2), or (3), the Executive must first execute an appropriate release agreement (on a form provided by the Company) whereby the Executive agrees to release and waive, in return for such vesting acceleration or severance benefits, any claims that Executive may have against the Company or any of its Affiliates including, without limitation, for unlawful discrimination (e.g., Title VII of the Civil Rights Act); provided, however, such release agreement shall not release any claim or cause of action by or on behalf of the Executive for (a) any payment or benefit that may be due or payable under this Agreement or any vested benefits under any employee benefit plan or program or (b) non-payment of salary or benefits to which Executive is entitled from the Company as of the Termination Date. The release agreement must be provided to Executive within five (5) days following the Termination Date, and signed by Executive and returned to the Company, and any applicable revocation period must have expired, no later than sixty (60) days following the Termination Date; provided, however, the second release agreement required for an Anticipatory Termination Payment under Section 6(b)(1)(B) must be provided to Executive within five (5) days following the Change in Control Date, and signed by Executive and returned to the Company, and any applicable revocation period must have expired, no later than sixty (60) days following the Change in Control Date. Any payments to which Executive becomes entitled pursuant to Section 6(b)(1), shall be paid within ten (10) days after the executed release agreement (or executed second release agreement with respect to an Anticipatory Termination Payment) has been timely returned to the Company for counter-signature and become effective and non-revocable by Executive under the terms of the release agreement. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent that any severance payments or benefits provided under Section 6(a)(4)(A) or Section 6(b) are deferred compensation under Code Section 409A, and are not otherwise exempt from the application of Section 409A, then, if the period during which Executive may consider and sign the release agreement spans two calendar years, the severance payments or benefits will not be made or begin until the later calendar year.
General Release (a) For and in consideration of the payments to be made and the promises set forth under this Agreement and the Employment Agreement, I, for myself and for my heirs, dependents, executors, administrators, trustees, legal representatives and assigns (collectively referred to as "Releasors"), hereby forever release, waive and discharge the Company, its affiliates, employee benefit and/or pension plans or funds, insurers, successors and assigns, and all of its or their past, present and/or future directors, officers, trustees, agents, members, partners, counsel, employees, fiduciaries, administrators, representatives and assigns, whether acting on behalf of the Company or its affiliates or in their individual capacities (collectively referred to as "Releasees"), from any and all claims, demands, causes of action, fees and liabilities of any kind whatsoever, whether known or unknown, which Releasors ever had, now have, or hereafter may claim to have against Releasees by reason of any actual or alleged act, omission, transaction, practice, policy, procedure, conduct, occurrence, or other matter up to and including the date of my execution of this Settlement, Waiver and General Release, in connection with, or in any way related to or arising out of, my employment, service as a director, service as a trustee, service as a fiduciary or termination of any of the foregoing with the Company.

(c) Except as provided herein, I agree that I will not from any source or proceeding, seek or accept any award or settlement with respect to any claim or right covered by Section 3(a) or (b) above, including, without limitation, any source or proceeding involving any person or entity, the United States Equal Employment Opportunity Commission or other similar federal or state agency. Except as provided herein or as otherwise required by law, I further agree that I will not, at any time hereafter, commence, maintain, prosecute, participate in as a party, permit to be filed by any other person on my behalf (to the extent it is within my control or permitted by law), or assist in the commencement or prosecution of as an advisor, witness (unless compelled by legal process or court order) or otherwise, any action or proceeding of any kind, judicial or administrative (on my own behalf, on behalf of any other person and/or on behalf of or as a member of any alleged class of persons) in any court, agency, investigative or administrative body against any Releasee with respect to any actual or alleged act, omission, transaction, practice, conduct, occurrence or any other matter up to and including the date of my execution of this Settlement, Waiver and General Release which I released pursuant to Section 3(a) or (b) above.

If, notwithstanding the foregoing promises, I violate this Section 3(c), I will indemnify and hold harmless Releasees from and against any and all demands, assessments, judgments, costs, damages, losses and liabilities and reasonable attorneys' fees, costs, disbursements and the like and other reasonable expenses which result from, or are incident to, such violation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Section 3(c) shall not apply to any claims that I may have under the ADEA and shall not apply to the portion of the release provided for in Section 3(a) or (b) relating to the ADEA.
(d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the sole matters to which the release and covenants in this Section 3 do not apply are: (i) my rights of indemnification or contribution to which I was entitled immediately prior to the Termination Date under the Company's By-laws, the Company's Certificate of Incorporation or otherwise with regard to my service as an officer or director of the Company (including, without limitation, under Section 11 of the Employment Agreement); (ii) my rights as a stockholder (other than the right to sue, which is released); (iii) my rights under any tax-qualified pensxxx plan or claims for accrued vested benefits any other employee benefit plan, program, policy or arrangement maintained by the Company or under COBRA; or (iv) my rights under the provisions of the Employment Agreement which are intended to survive termination of employment.
(e) I acknowledge and agree that this Settlement, Waiver and General Release constitutes a voluntary waiver of any and all rights and claims I may have as of this date, including rights or claims arising under the ADEA. I have waived rights or claims pursuant to this Settlement, Waiver and General Release in exchange for consideration and one-eighth of the consideration paid to me is attributable to this ADEA portion of the Settlement, Waiver and General Release. I have been advised that I may consult with the attorney of my choosing concerning this Settlement, Waiver and General Release prior to executing it. I also have been allowed a period of at least 21 days to consider the terms of this Settlement, Waiver and General Release, and in the event I decide to execute this Agreement in fewer than 21 days, I have done so with the express understanding that I have been given and declined the opportunity to consider this Settlement, Waiver and General Release for a full 21 days. I also understand that I may revoke the release contained in this Paragraph only (regarding claims under the ADEA), at any time during the seven days following the date of execution of this Agreement, and the release contained in this Paragraph only shall not become effective or enforceable until such revocation period has expired.
