Section 1542 Waiver In giving the general release herein, which includes claims which may be unknown to me at present, I acknowledge that I have read and understand Section 1542 of the California Civil Code, which reads as follows: “A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him or her must have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor.” I hereby expressly waive and relinquish all rights and benefits under that section and any law of any other jurisdiction of similar effect with respect to my release of claims, including but not limited to any unknown or unsuspected claims herein.
General Release and Waiver of Claims 1. The payments and promises set forth in this Agreement are in full satisfaction of all accrued salary, paid time off, bonus and commission pay, profit-sharing, stock, stock options, restricted stock units or other ownership interest in the Company, termination benefits or other compensation to which you may be entitled by virtue of your employment with the Company, your separation from the Company or otherwise. To the fullest extent permitted by law, you (on behalf of yourself, and on behalf of your heirs, family members, executors, estates, agents and assigns, or any controlled affiliate and any trust or other entity of which you or said heirs, estates or family directly or indirectly hold a majority beneficial interest) hereby release and waive any other claims you may have against the Company, Parent and their owners, agents, officers, shareholders, employees, directors, attorneys, subscribers, subsidiaries, affiliates, successors and assigns (collectively “Releasees”), whether known or not known, including, without limitation, claims under any employment laws, including, but not limited to, claims of unlawful discharge, breach of contract, breach of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing, fraud, violation of public policy, defamation, physical injury, emotional distress, claims for additional compensation or benefits arising out of your employment or your separation of employment, claims under Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, as amended, under the California Fair Employment and Housing Act, the California Labor Code, the California Government Code, the California Business and Professions Code, all California Wage Orders, the Family Medical Leave Act, the California Family Rights Act, and any other state laws and/or regulations relating to employment or employment discrimination, harassment or retaliation including, without limitation, claims based on age or under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act or Older Workers Benefit Protection Act (collectively, the “ADEA”), the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended and/or claims based on disability or under the Americans with Disabilities Act (collectively, the “Released Claims”).
