1.2 “Change in Control Date” means the first date during the Term (as defined in Section 2) on which a Change in Control occurs.

1.3 “Cause” means:

(a) the Executive’s failure to perform his reasonable assigned duties to the standards reasonably required by the Company (other than any such failure resulting from

incapacity due to physical or mental illness), which failure is not cured within 30 days after a written notice is received by the Executive from the Company describing in reasonable detail the manner in which the Board of Directors believes the Executive has not performed the Executive’s duties to the standards reasonably required by the Company; or

(b) the Executive’s willful engagement in illegal conduct or gross misconduct that is materially injurious to the Company.

If the condition is capable of being corrected, the Company shall have 30 days during which it may remedy the condition (the “Cure Period”). Notwithstanding the occurrence of any such event or circumstance, such occurrence shall not be deemed to constitute Good Reason if such event or circumstance has been fully corrected within the Cure Period and the Executive has been reasonably compensated for any losses or damages resulting therefrom.

Delivery by the Company of notice of its intention not to renew this Agreement so long as Executive is willing and able to execute a new contract providing terms and conditions substantially similar to those in this Agreement and to continue providing services to the Company shall be treated the same as a termination without Cause for purposes of this Agreement, and shall cause Executive to be eligible for the payments and benefits set forth in Section 4.1(a) or Section 4.2(a) or (b), as applicable, subject to Executive’s meeting the requirements to receive such payments and benefits in accordance with the terms of Section 4.1(a) or Section 4.2(a) or (b), as applicable.

3. Employment Status; Termination Following Change in Control.

3.1 Not an Employment Contract. The Executive acknowledges that this Agreement does not constitute a contract of employment or impose on the Company any obligation to retain the Executive as an employee and that this Agreement does not prevent the Company or the Executive from terminating his employment at any time, before or after a Change in Control.

3.2 Termination of Employment.

(b) The failure by the Executive or the Company to set forth in the Notice of Termination any fact or circumstance which contributes to a showing of Good Reason or Cause shall not waive any right of the Executive or the Company, respectively, hereunder or preclude the Executive or the Company, respectively, from asserting any such fact or circumstance in enforcing the Executive’s or the Company’s rights hereunder.

(c) Any Notice of Termination for Cause given by the Company must be given within 90 days of the occurrence of the event(s) or circumstance(s) that constitute(s) Cause.

(iii) provided the Executive is eligible for and timely elects COBRA continuation coverage, during the Severance Period, the Company shall provide continued coverage to the Executive and the Executive’s family under the applicable Benefit Plans of the Company for those benefits which would have been provided to them if the Executive’s employment had not been terminated, in accordance with the applicable Benefit Plans in effect on the Date of Termination (to the extent such benefits can be provided to non-employees, or to the extent such health insurance benefits cannot be provided to non-employees, then the cash equivalent thereof, based on the cost thereof to the Company, which cash amount

shall be paid proportionately over the Severance Period, monthly in advance); provided, however: (1) that if the Executive becomes reemployed with another employer and is eligible to receive a particular type of benefits (e.g., health insurance benefits) from such employer on terms at least as favorable to the Executive and his family as those being provided by the Company, then the Company shall no longer be required to provide those particular benefits to the Executive and his family; and (2) to the extent that such payments are taxable to the Executive and/or extend beyond the COBRA continuation period for which Executive is eligible and has elected coverage (for the avoidance of doubt Executive shall not be entitled to benefits under this Section 4.2(a)(iii) if the Executive is not eligible for or does not elect COBRA continuation coverage), then such payments shall be made monthly in advance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company reserves the right to restructure the foregoing continued coverage arrangement in any manner necessary or appropriate to avoid penalties or negative tax consequences to the Company or the Executive, as determined by the Company in its sole and absolute discretion.

(iii) provided the Executive is eligible for and timely elects COBRA continuation coverage under the applicable Benefit Plans of the Company, during the Severance Period, the Company shall provide continued coverage to the Executive and the Executive’s family under the applicable Benefit Plans of the Company for those benefits which would have been provided to them if the Executive’s employment had not been terminated, in accordance with the applicable Benefit Plans in effect on the Date of Termination (to the extent such benefits can be provided to non-employees, or to the extent such health benefits cannot be provided to non-employees, then the cash equivalent thereof, based on the cost thereof to the Company, which cash amount shall be paid proportionately over the Severance Period, monthly in advance); provided, however: (1) that if the Executive becomes reemployed with another employer and is eligible to receive a particular type of benefits (e.g., health insurance benefits) from such employer on terms at least as favorable to the Executive and his family as those being provided by the Company, then the Company shall no longer be required to provide those particular benefits to the Executive and his family; and (2) to the extent that such payments are taxable to the Executive and/or extend beyond the COBRA continuation period for which Executive is eligible and has elected coverage (for the avoidance of doubt Executive shall not be entitled to benefits under this Section 4.2(a)(iii) if the Executive is not eligible for or does not elect COBRA continuation coverage), then such payments shall be made monthly in advance.

4.3 Section 280G Provisions.

(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in the event that the Company undergoes a Change in Ownership or Control (as defined below), the Company shall not be obligated to provide to the Executive a portion of any Contingent Compensation Payments (as defined below) that the Executive would otherwise be entitled to receive to the extent necessary to eliminate Excess Parachute Payments (as defined below) for the Executive, except as set forth in Section 4.3(b). For purposes of this Section 4.3, the Contingent Compensation Payments so eliminated shall be referred to as the “Eliminated Payments” and the aggregate amount (determined in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.280G-1, Q/A-30 or any successor provision) of the Contingent Compensation Payments so eliminated shall be referred to as the “Eliminated Amount.”

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 4.3(a), no such reduction in Contingent Compensation Payments shall be made if (i) the Eliminated Amount (computed without regard to this sentence) exceeds (ii) 110% of the aggregate present value (determined in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.280G-1, X/X-00, X/X-00, X/X-00 or any successor provisions) of the amount of any additional taxes that would be incurred by the Executive if the Eliminated Payments (determined without regard to this sentence) were paid to him (including, state and federal income taxes on the Eliminated Payments, the excise tax

imposed by Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”, which term shall include applicable Treasury Regulations), payable with respect to all of the Contingent Compensation Payments in excess of the Executive’s “base amount” (as defined in Section 280G(b)(3) of the Code), and any withholding taxes). The override of such reduction in Contingent Compensation Payments pursuant to this Section 4.3(b) shall be referred to as a “Section 4.3(b) Override.” For purposes of this paragraph, if any federal, state or local income taxes would be attributable to the receipt of any Eliminated Payment, the amount of such taxes shall be computed by multiplying the amount of the Eliminated Payment by the maximum combined federal, state and local income tax rate provided by law.

(i) “Change in Ownership or Control” shall mean a change in the ownership or effective control of the Company or in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the Company determined in accordance with Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code.

(ii) “Contingent Compensation Payment” shall mean any payment (or benefit) in the nature of compensation that is made or made available (under this Agreement or otherwise) to a “disqualified individual” (as defined in Section 280G(c) of the Code) and that is contingent (within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2)(A)(i) of the Code) on a Change in Ownership or Control of the Company.

(iii) “Excess Parachute Payment” shall mean a payment described in Section 280G(b)(1) of the Code.

(d) Any payments or other benefits otherwise due to the Executive following a Change in Ownership or Control that could reasonably be characterized (as determined by the Company) as Contingent Compensation Payments (the “Potential Payments”) shall not be made until the dates provided for in this Section 4.3(d).

(i) In the event that the Company undergoes a Change in Ownership or Control, and the Executive becomes entitled to receive Contingent Compensation Payments relating to such Change in Ownership or Control, the Company shall (A) determine at such time or times as may be necessary to comply with the requirements under Section 280G of the Code whether such Contingent Compensation Payments constitute in whole or in part Excess Parachute Payments and (B) in the event the Company determines that such Contingent Compensation Payments constitute in whole or in part Excess Parachute Payments, notify the Executive (within 30 days after each such determination and with reasonable detail regarding the basis for its determinations) of the following: (1) which Potential Payments constitute Contingent Compensation Payments, (2) the Eliminated Amount and (3) whether the Section 4.3(b) Override is applicable.

(ii) Within 30 days after delivery of such notice to the Executive, the Executive shall deliver a response to the Company (the “Executive Response”) stating either (A) that he agrees with the Company’s determination pursuant to the preceding sentence, or (B) that he disagrees with such determination, in which case he shall set forth (1) which Potential Payments should be characterized as Contingent Compensation Payments, (2) the Eliminated Amount, or (3) whether the Section 4.3(b) Override is applicable.

(iii) If and to the extent that any Contingent Compensation Payments are required to be treated as Eliminated Payments pursuant to this Section 4.3, then the Payments shall be reduced or eliminated, as determined by the Company, in the following order: (A) any cash payments, (B) any taxable benefits, (C) any nontaxable benefits, and (D) any vesting of equity awards, in each case in reverse order beginning with payments or benefits that are to be paid the farthest in time from the date that triggers the applicability of the excise tax, to the extent necessary to maximize the Eliminated Payments.

(iv) If the Executive fails to deliver an Executive Response on or before the required date, the Company’s initial determinations shall be final, and the Company shall make the Potential Payments (other than the Eliminated Payments) to the Executive within 10 business days following the due date for delivery to the Company of the Executive Response (except for any Potential Payments which are not due to be made until after such date, which Potential Payments shall be made on the date on which they are due).

(v) If the Executive states in the Executive Response that he agrees with the Company’s determinations, the Company’s initial determinations shall be final, the Contingent Compensation Payments that shall be treated as Eliminated Payments shall be as set forth in the Executive Response, and the Company shall make the Potential Payments (other than the Eliminated Payments) to the Executive within 10 business days following delivery to the Company of the Executive Response (except for any Potential Payments which are not due to be made until after such date, which Potential Payments shall be made on the date on which they are due).

(vi) If the Executive states in the Executive Response that he disagrees with the Company’s determinations, then, for a period of 60 days following delivery of the Executive Response, the Executive and the Company shall use good faith efforts to resolve such dispute. If such dispute is not resolved within such 60-day period, such dispute shall be settled exclusively by arbitration in Boston, Massachusetts, in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association then in effect. Judgment may be entered on the arbitrator’s award in any court having jurisdiction. The Company shall, within 10 business days following delivery to the Company of the Executive Response, make to the Executive those Potential Payments as to which there is no dispute between the Company and the Executive regarding whether they should be made (except for any such Potential Payments which are not due to be made until after such date, which Potential Payments shall be made on the date on which they are due). The balance of the Potential Payments (other than Eliminated Payments) shall be made within 10 business days following the resolution of such dispute.

(vii) Subject to the limitations contained in Sections 4.3(a) and (b) hereof, the amount of any payments to be made to the Executive following the resolution of such dispute shall be increased by amount of the accrued interest thereon computed at the prime rate announced from time to time by Bank of America, compounded monthly from the date that such payments originally were due.

(viii) In the event the Company is required to perform a redetermination in accordance with Treas. Reg. 1.280G-1 Q/A-33(b) with respect to any Contingent Compensation Payments, this Section 4.3(d) shall apply with respect to such redetermination and the parties shall make such adjustments as may be necessary as a result of such redetermination including, if appropriate, the payment by the Company of Contingent Compensation Payments previously treated as Eliminated Payments if the Section 4.3(b) Override applies as a result of such redetermination.

(e) The provisions of this Section 4.3 are intended to apply to any and all payments or benefits available to the Executive under this Agreement or any other agreement or plan of the Company under which the Executive receives Contingent Compensation Payments.

4.4 Release. The obligation of the Company to make the payments and provide the benefits to the Executive under Section 4.1(a), Section 4.2(a) or Section 4.2(b) is conditioned upon the Executive signing the Release, within 21 or 45 calendar days in accordance with applicable law (the “Release Period”) following the Date of Termination and upon the Executive, if applicable, not revoking the Release in a timely manner thereafter. If the Executive’s termination is part of a reduction in force, in addition to a Release in the form attached he will receive an attachment describing (i) any class or unit or group of individuals covered by a separate benefit program even though the Executive shall only be entitled to benefits pursuant to this Agreement; (ii) the eligibility factors for the program; (iii) the applicable time limits regarding the program; and (iv) the job title and ages of all individuals eligible or selected for the program, and the ages of all individuals in the same job classification or organizational unit who are not eligible or who were not selected. Provided that the Release has become binding, the payments to the Executive under Section 4.1(a), Section 4.2(a) or Section 4.2(b) shall be payable or shall commence within 60 days following the Date of Termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of benefits under Section 4.1(a)(iii), Section 4.2(a)(iii) or Section 4.2(b)(iii) shall continue during the Release Period and any applicable revocation period. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall the timing of Executive’s execution of the Release, directly or indirectly, result in Executive designating the calendar year of payment, and if a payment that is subject to execution of the Release could be made in more than one taxable year, payment shall be made in the later taxable year.

4.5 Exclusive Severance Benefits. The making of the payments and the provision of the benefits by the Company to the Executive under Section 4.1(a), Section 4.2(a) or Section 4.2(b) shall constitute the entire obligation of the Company to the Executive as a result of the termination of his employment under the circumstances set forth in such Sections, and the Executive shall not be entitled to additional payments or benefits under any other plan, program, policy, practice, contract or agreement of the Company or its subsidiaries.

4.6 Mitigation. The Executive shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment or benefits provided for in Section 4.1(a), Section 4.2(a) or Section 4.2(b) by seeking other employment or otherwise. Further, except as provided in Section 4.1(a)(iii), Section 4.2(a)(iii) or Section 4.2(b)(iii), the amount of any payment or benefits provided for in Section 4.1(a), Section 4.2(a) or Section 4.2(b) shall not be reduced by any compensation earned or benefits received by the Executive as a result of employment by another employer.

4.7 Section 409A. Subject to this Section 4.7, any severance payments or benefits under this Agreement shall begin only upon the date of the Executive’s “separation from service” (as determined below), which occurs on or after the date of the Executive’s termination. The following rules shall apply with respect to distribution of the payments and benefits, if any, to be provided to the Executive under Sections 4.1 or 4.2, as applicable:

(a) It is intended that each installment of the payments and benefits provided under Sections 4.1 and 4.2 shall be treated as a separate “payment” for purposes of Section 409A of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the guidance issued thereunder (“Section 409A”). Neither the Company nor the Executive shall have the right to accelerate or defer the delivery of any such payments or benefits except to the extent specifically permitted or required by Section 409A;

(b) If, as of the date of the “separation from service” of the Executive from the Company (within the meaning of Section 4.7(d) below), the Executive is not a “specified employee” (within the meaning of Section 409A), then each installment of the payments and benefits shall be made on the dates and terms set forth in Sections 4.1 or 4.2, as applicable; and

(c) If, as of the date of the separation from service of the Executive from the Company, the Executive is a specified employee, then:

(i) Each installment of the payments and benefits due under Sections 4.1 or 4.2 that, in accordance with the dates and terms set forth herein, will in all circumstances, regardless of when the separation from service occurs, be paid within the short-term deferral period (as defined under Section 409A) shall be treated as a short-term deferral within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(4) to the maximum extent permissible under Section 409A; and

(ii) Each installment of the payments and benefits due under Sections 4.1 or 4.2 that is not described in Section 4.7(c)(i), above, and that would, absent this subsection, be paid within the six-month period following the separation from service of the Executive from the Company shall not be paid until the date that is six months and one day after such separation from service (or, if earlier, the Executive’s death), with any such installments that are required to be delayed being accumulated during the six-month period and paid in a lump sum on the date that is six months and one day following the Executive’s separation from service and any subsequent installments, if any, being paid in accordance with the dates and terms set forth herein; provided, however, that the preceding provisions of this sentence shall not apply to any installment of payments and benefits if and to the maximum extent that that such installment is deemed to be paid under a separation pay plan that does not provide for a deferral of compensation by reason of the application of Treasury Regulation 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii) (relating to separation pay upon an involuntary separation from service). Any installments that qualify for the exception under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii) must be paid no later than the last day of the Executive’s second taxable year following his taxable year in which the separation from service occurs.

(d) The determination of whether and when a separation from service from the Company has occurred shall be made and in a manner consistent with and based on the presumptions set forth in, Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h). Solely for purposes of this Section 4.7(d), “Company” shall include all persons with whom the Company would be considered a single employer as determined under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h)(3).

(e) All reimbursements and in-kind benefits provided under the Agreement shall be made or provided in accordance with the requirements of Section 409A to the extent that such reimbursements or in-kind benefits are subject to Section 409A, including, where applicable, the requirement that (i) any reimbursement is for expenses incurred during the Executive’s lifetime (or during a shorter period of time specified in this Agreement), (ii) the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement during a calendar year may not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement in any other calendar year, (iii) the reimbursement of an eligible expense will be made on or before the last day of the calendar year following the year in which the expense is incurred and (iv) the right to reimbursement is not subject to set off or liquidation or exchange for any other benefit.

(f) The Company makes no representation or warranty and shall have no liability to the Executive or any other person if any provisions of this Agreement are determined to constitute deferred compensation subject to Section 409A and do not satisfy an exemption from, or the conditions of, Section 409A.

5. Additional Post-Employment Obligations. In consideration of the making of the payments and the provision of the benefits by the Company to the Executive under Section 4.1(a), Section 4.2(a) or Section 4.2(b), the Executive agrees to abide by the following post-employment obligations.

5.1 Noncompetition. For the period commencing on the Date of Termination and ending twelve (12) months from the Date of Termination (the “Restricted Period”), and subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 5, the Executive agrees that he shall not, directly or indirectly, either individually or as an employee, agent, partner, shareholder, owner, trustee, beneficiary, co-venturer, distributor, consultant or in any other capacity or through any affiliate, family member or otherwise, anywhere in the United States of America, China or Austria, participate in, provide assistance to, or have a financial or other interest in any Competing Enterprise (defined in Section 5.3 below). The ownership of less than a one percent (1%) interest in a Competing Enterprise whose shares are traded on a recognized stock exchange or traded on the over-the-counter market shall not be deemed to constitute a financial interest by the Executive in a Competing Enterprise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Executive may be employed by a Competing Enterprise provided that the Executive’s employment is limited solely to work in connection with Superconductor-Based Products (defined in Section 5.3 below) which utilize (or are planned to utilize) the Company’s HTS tapes.

5.2 Non-solicitation. (a) The Executive agrees that during the Restricted Period he will not:

(a) contact for the purpose of soliciting, solicit or service any customers or prospective customer of the Company that were solicited or served on behalf of the Company during the Executives employment (hereafter “Active Customers”);

(b) directly or indirectly request or advise Active Customers or suppliers, vendors or other business contacts of the Company who currently have, or have had, business relationships with the Company during the Executives employment, to withdraw, curtail or cancel any of their business or relations with the Company; and

(c) directly or indirectly solicit or hire, or attempt to solicit, or hire any person who is, or within the six (6) month period immediately preceding the date of any such solicitation or hiring, was an employee or contractor of the Company.

5.3 The following terms shall have the following respective meanings

a. “Competing Enterprise” shall mean any business or organization engaged, directly or indirectly, in the design, development, ownership, manufacture, sourcing, licensing, sale, operation or provision of power electronics or Superconductor-Based Products or Superconductor-Based Services, including, but not limited to, any actual or planned business or activity as conducted or planned to be conducted during the term of the Executive’s employment with the Company.

b. “Superconductor-Based Products” mean products which themselves are high temperature superconductor (“HTS”) tapes or contain HTS tapes (e.g. HTS cables, HTS motors/generators), and exclude subsystems such as refrigeration systems which do not themselves contain HTS tapes.

c. “Superconductor-Based Services” mean services directly related to Superconductor-Based Products.

5.4 The Executive agrees that any breach of the terms of this Section 5 would result in irreparable injury and damage the Company for which the Company would have no adequate remedy at law. The Executive therefore also agrees that in the event of any such breach or any threat of breach, in addition to any other remedies available at law or in equity, the Company shall be entitled to seek immediate injunctive relief, without having to post a bond or other security, and to recover all costs and expenses incurred by the Company, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, in the event that the Company prevails in connection with such action. The terms of this Section 5 shall not prevent the Company from pursuing any other available remedies for any breach or threatened breach hereof, including but not limited to, the recovery of damages from the Executive. The Executive further agrees that the covenants set forth in this Section 5 are reasonable and valid, and the Executive waives all defenses to the strict enforcement thereof

6. Consent to Jurisdiction. The Executive irrevocably and unconditionally (i) agrees that any legal proceeding arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or the Release shall be brought in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts, or if such court does not have jurisdiction or will not accept jurisdiction, in any court of general jurisdiction in Boston, Massachusetts (ii) consents to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of such court in any such proceeding, (iii) waives any objection to the laying of venue of any such proceeding in any such court. The Executive also irrevocably and unconditionally consents to the service of any process, pleadings, notices or other papers in connection with any such proceeding.

7. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.

7.1 WAIVER. EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY THAT MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENTOR THE RELEASE, IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT THAT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE RELEASE OR THE EMPLOYMENT RELATIONSHIP CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

7.2 CERTIFICATION. EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (A) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF THE OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, (B) SUCH PARTY UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF SUCH WAIVER, (C) SUCH PARTY MAKES SUCH WAIVER VOLUNTARILY AND (D) SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVER AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SUBSECTION 7.2.

5. Violation of Law or Company Policy – I hereby agree, promise and covenant that during my employment with the Company, to the best of my knowledge I did not violate any federal, state or local law, statute or regulation while acting within the scope of my employment with the Company, nor did I violate any material policy of the Company while acting within the scope of my employment with the Company. I acknowledge and understand that if the Company should discover any such violation after my execution of this Release and my separation from employment with the Company, it will be considered a material breach of the Agreement and this Release, and all of the Company’s obligations to me under the Agreement will become immediately null and void.

6. Continued Assistance – I agree that after the Date of Termination I will provide all reasonable cooperation to the Company, including but not limited to, assisting the Company in transitioning my job duties, assisting the Company in defending against and/or prosecuting any litigation or threatened litigation, and performing any other tasks as reasonably requested by the Company.

mediator or arbitrator. My full cooperation in connection with such claims or actions shall include, but not be limited to, being available to meet with counsel to prepare its claims or defenses, to prepare for trial or discovery or an administrative hearing or a mediation or arbitration and to act as a witness when requested by the Company at reasonable times designated by the Company.

No delay or omission by the Company in exercising any right under this Release shall operate as a waiver of that or any other right.

12. Validity – Should any provision of this Release be declared or be determined by any court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal or invalid, the validity of the remaining parts, terms or provisions shall not be affected thereby and said illegal or invalid part, term or provision shall be deemed not to be a part of this Release.
