• Complete Release Executive agrees to release EDS from all claims or demands Executive may have against EDS, including, but not limited to, any claims related to Executive's employment with EDS or separation from that employment and any claims for attorney's fees and costs. This Agreement includes, without limitation, a release of any rights or claims Executive may have under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, as amended, which prohibits age discrimination in employment; Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, which prohibits discrimination in employment based on race, color, national origin, religion or sex; the Americans with Disabilities Act, as amended, which prohibits discrimination against individuals with disabilities; the Fair Labor Standards Act, as amended, which regulates matters regarding compensation; the Family and Medical Leave Act, as amended, which regulates matters regarding certain types of leaves; or any other federal, state or local laws or regulations that in any way relate to the employment of individuals and/or prohibit employment discrimination of any form. This Agreement also includes, without limitation, a release by Executive of any related or unrelated wrongful discharge claims, contractual claims, tort claims or any other actions. This Agreement covers both claims that Executive knows about and those he/she may not know about. Executive expressly waives any right to assert after signing this Agreement that any claim, demand, obligation, or cause of action has through ignorance, oversight, or for any other reason, been omitted from the scope of Subsection 5 of Section III of this Agreement. Executive further promises never to file a lawsuit, demand, action or otherwise assert any claims that are released in Subsection 5 of Section III of this Agreement (excluding a lawsuit filed by Executive solely for purposes of challenging the validity of the Age Discrimination in Employment Act waiver). This Agreement does not include a release of (i) Executive's right, if any, to benefits Executive may be entitled to under any EDS plan qualified under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code, including the EDS Retirement Plan and EDS 401(k) Plan, and COBRA benefits pursuant to Internal Revenue Code section 4980B, (ii) any rights or claims Executive may have under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act which arise after the date Executive signs this Agreement, (iii) any rights pursuant to this Agreement, (iv) Executive's right, if any, to benefits Executive may be entitled to under the EDS Executive Deferral Plan, (v) any rights pursuant to any indemnification agreements between Executive and EDS, or (vi) Executive's right, if any, to benefits Executive may be entitled to under any applicable directors and officers or other liability insurance policies.

• Release of Claims Agreement The receipt of any severance payments or benefits pursuant to this Agreement is subject to Executive signing and not revoking a separation agreement and release of claims in a form mutually acceptable to the Company and Executive (the “Release”), which must become effective no later than the sixtieth (60th) day following Executive’s termination of employment (the “Release Deadline”), and if not, Executive will forfeit any right to severance payments or benefits under this Agreement. To become effective, the Release must be executed by Executive and any revocation periods (as required by statute, regulation, or otherwise) must have expired without Executive having revoked the Release. In addition, in no event will severance payments or benefits be paid or provided until the Release actually becomes effective. If the termination of employment occurs at a time during the calendar year where the Release Deadline could occur in the calendar year following the calendar year in which Executive’s termination of employment occurs, then any severance payments or benefits under this Agreement that would be considered Deferred Payments (as defined in Section 4(c)(i)) will be paid on the first payroll date to occur during the calendar year following the calendar year in which such termination occurs, or such later time as required by (i) the payment schedule applicable to each payment or benefit as set forth in Section 3, (ii) the date the Release becomes effective, or (iii) Section 4(c)(ii); provided that the first payment shall include all amounts that would have been paid to Executive if payment had commenced on the date of Executive’s termination of employment.

• Separation Agreement and Release of Claims The Executive’s receipt of any severance payments or benefits upon the Executive’s Qualifying Termination under Section 3 is subject to the Executive signing and not revoking the Company’s then-standard separation agreement and release of claims (which may include an agreement not to disparage any member of the Company Group, non-solicit provisions, an agreement to assist in any litigation matters, and other standard terms and conditions) (the “Release” and that requirement, the “Release Requirement”), which must become effective and irrevocable no later than the sixtieth (60th) day following the Executive’s Qualifying Termination (the “Release Deadline”). If the Release does not become effective and irrevocable by the Release Deadline, the Executive will forfeit any right to severance payments or benefits under Section 3.

Upon delivery by the Issuer to the Trustee of an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the foregoing effect, the Trustee will execute any documents reasonably requested by the Issuer in writing in order to evidence the release of the applicable Guarantor from its obligations under its Note Guaranty.
