d.Other Benefits.

As such, nothing in this Agreement or otherwise prohibits or limits the Employee from disclosing this Agreement to, or from cooperating with or reporting violations to or initiating communications with, the SEC or any other such governmental entity or self-regulatory organization, and the Employee may do so without notifying the Company. Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries or affiliates may retaliate against the Employee for any of these activities, and nothing in this Agreement or otherwise requires the Employee to waive any monetary award or other payment that the Employee might become entitled to from the SEC or any other governmental entity or self­regulatory organization.

c.Injunctive Relief.

7

This Release shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York. If any provision in this Release is held invalid or unenforceable for any reason, the remaining provisions shall be construed as if the invalid or unenforceable provision(s) had not been included.

•The Employee acknowledges that the Company has advised her that she should consult with an attorney of her choice prior to signing this Release and she has had sufficient time to consider the terms of this Release.

•The Employee acknowledges that the Company has advised her that she may consider this Release for up to twenty-one (21) calendar days after her receipt thereof to review it prior to signing.
