The preceding two sentences of this section do not apply if Executive files a charge or lawsuit under the ADEA challenging the validity of this Separation and Release Agreement. However, in the event any such ADEA lawsuit is unsuccessful, a court may order Executive to pay attorney’s fees and/or costs incurred by Releasees (or any of them) where authorized by law. In the event any such ADEA lawsuit is successful, the severance benefits or payment Executive received for signing this Separation and Release Agreement shall serve as restitution, recoupment, or setoff to any monetary award received by Executive.
