Agreement
(h) Relocation Payment. The Company will pay the Executive a one-time relocation payment of $75,000, grossed up, for purposes of the Executive’s relocation to the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, within thirty (30) calendar days of the Executive’s closing on the purchase of a dwelling in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts (“Relocation Payment”), in order to complete the Executive’s duties from the Company’s corporate headquarters.

The Executive hereby agrees and authorizes the Company to deduct any amounts owed to the Company by the Executive pertaining to the Relocation Payment from the Executive’s final paycheck to the maximum extent permitted by law.

The parties hereby consent to the jurisdiction of the state and federal courts of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Accordingly, with respect to any such court action, the Executive (a) submits to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of such courts; (b) consents to service of process; and (c) waives any other requirement (whether imposed by statute, rule of court, or otherwise) with respect to personal jurisdiction or service of process.
This Agreement, including any exhibits, constitutes the complete, final and exclusive embodiment of the entire agreement between you and the Company with regard to this subject matter. It is entered into without reliance on any promise or representation, written or oral, other than those expressly contained herein, and it supersedes any other such promises, warranties or representations. This Agreement may not be modified or amended except in a writing signed by both you and a duly authorized officer of the Company. This Agreement will bind the heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns of both you and the Company, and inure to the benefit of both you and the Company, their heirs, successors and assigns. If any provision of this Agreement is determined to be invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part, this determination will not affect any other provision of this Agreement and the provision in question will be modified by the court so as to be rendered enforceable. This Agreement will be deemed to have been entered into and will be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts as applied to contracts made and to be performed entirely within Massachusetts.
