6. (a) Consultant hereby represents and agrees that Consultant shall keep confidential and not disclose orally or in writing, to any person, except as may be required by law or as publicly disclosed by the Company, any and all information concerning the existence or terms of this Release and the amount of any payments made hereunder.

If any section of this Release is determined to be void, voidable or unenforceable, it shall have no effect on the remainder of this Release, which shall remain in full force and effect, and the provisions so held invalid or unenforceable shall be deemed modified as to give such provisions the maximum effect permitted by applicable law. The Company shall be excused and released from any obligation to make payment of the payments in Exhibit B, and Consultant shall be obligated to return to the Company the payments in Exhibit B, in the event that Consultant is found to have (a) made a material misstatement in any term, condition, covenant, representation or acknowledgment in this Release, or (b) Consultant is found to have committed or commits a material breach of any term, condition or covenant in this Release.

9. This Release and the Resignation Letter constitute the sole and complete agreement between the parties with respect to the matters set forth therein and supersedes all prior agreements, understandings and arrangements, oral or written, between Consultant and the Company with respect to the subject matter thereof. This Release may not be amended or modified except by an instrument or instruments in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of any such modification or amendment is sought. Either party may, by an instrument in writing, waive compliance by the other party with any term or provision of this Release to be performed or complied with by such other party.

10. With respect to any claims or disputes under or in connection with this Release or any claims released under Section 3 of this Release, Consultant acknowledges that a breach or threatened breach of the provisions of this Release may give rise to losses or damages for which the Company cannot be reasonably or adequately compensated in an action at law, and that such violation may result in irreparable and continuing harm to the Company. Accordingly, Consultant agrees that, in addition to any other remedy that the Company may have at law or in equity, the Company shall be entitled to seek equitable relief, including, without limitation, injunction and specific performance and Consultant hereby waives any requirements for security or posting of any bond in connection with such relief. No specification in this Release of any particular remedy shall be construed as a waiver or prohibition of any other remedies (including claims for damages) in the event of a breach or threatened breach of this Release.

11. Consultant agrees and acknowledges that (a) Consultant has had an adequate opportunity to review this Release and all of its terms, (b) Consultant understands all of the terms of this Release, which are fair, reasonable and are not the result of any fraud, duress, coercion, pressure or undue influence exercised by or on behalf of any Releasee and (c) Consultant has agreed to and/or entered into this Release and all of the terms hereof, knowingly, freely and voluntarily.

12. By executing this Release, Releasor acknowledges that (a) Consultant has been advised by the Company to consult with an attorney before executing this Release; (b) Consultant was provided adequate time to review this Release and to consider whether to sign this Release and (c) Consultant has been advised that Consultant has seven (7) days following execution to revoke this Release (“Revocation Period”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in the Resignation Letter, this Release shall not be effective or enforceable, and the payments in Exhibit B are not payable and shall not be delivered or paid by the Company, until the Revocation Period has expired and provided that Consultant has not revoked this Release. Consultant agrees that any revocation shall be made in writing and delivered to Xxxxxxx Xxxxx, Chief Financial Officer, 0 Xxxx Xxxxxxx, 0^xx Xxxxx, Xxxx, XX 00000.
