Exclusive Remedy; Non-Duplication of Benefits. In the event of a termination of Executive’s employment as set forth in Section 2.1 or Section 2.2 of this Agreement, the provisions of Section 2 are intended to be and are exclusive and in lieu of any other rights or remedies to which Executive or the Company otherwise may be entitled, whether at law, tort or contract, in equity, or under this Agreement (other than the payment of accrued but unpaid wages, as required by law, and any unreimbursed reimbursable expenses). Executive hereby forfeits and waives any rights to any severance or change in control benefits set forth in any employment agreement or offer letter, other than the acceleration of vesting provisions in any of Executive’s written equity compensation agreements, which remain in full force and effect, and as provided by Section 14 below. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, if, after the Effective Date, the Executive becomes entitled to any severance, change in control or similar benefits outside of this Agreement by operation of applicable law or under another policy, contract, or arrangement, his or her benefits under this Agreement will be reduced by the value of the severance, change in control, or similar benefits that the Executive receives by operation of applicable law or under the policy, contract, or arrangement, all as determined by the Board or a committee of the Board in its discretion. For the avoidance of doubt, earned commissions and other wages due and payable upon termination are not similar benefits.
