Claims Released. I release the Company and each of its current or former parents, subsidiaries, related entities, successors and affiliates, and all of their employees, directors, officers, agents, and related parties, from all known or unknown claims that I presently may have arising out of my employment with, termination by, or separation from, the Company.

I will never file any lawsuit or complaint based on any such claim, and I will withdraw with prejudice any such lawsuit, etc., that may already be pending. I promise never to seek any damages, remedies, or other relief for myself personally (any right to which I hereby waive) by filing or prosecuting a charge with any administrative agency with respect to any claim purportedly released by this Release.

I understand, however, that, while this Release does not affect my right to file a charge or participate in an investigation or proceeding conducted by the Commission or any similar state commission or agency, it does bar any claim you might have to receive monetary damages in connection with any Commission or similar state commission or agency proceeding concerning matters covered by this agreement and release of claims.
