W I T N E S S E T H :

WHEREAS, the Company desires to continue to employ Executive and to enter into this Agreement embodying the terms of such employment, and Executive desires to enter into this Agreement and to be employed by the Company, subject to the terms and provisions of this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and mutual covenants contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are mutually acknowledged, the Company and Executive hereby agree as follows:

Section 1.    Definitions. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Agreement shall have the meaning set forth on Appendix A, attached hereto.

Section 2.    Acceptance and Term of Employment.

The Company agrees to continue to employ Executive, and Executive agrees to continue to serve the Company, on the terms and conditions set forth herein. The Term of Employment shall continue until terminated as provided in Section 7 hereof.

Section 3.    Position, Duties, and Responsibilities; Place of Performance.

(a)    Position, Duties, and Responsibilities. During the Term of Employment, Executive shall be employed and serve as General Counsel and shall have such duties and responsibilities commensurate with such title. Executive will report to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer.

(b)    Performance. Executive shall devote Executive’s full business time, attention, skill, and best efforts to the performance of Executive’s duties under this Agreement and shall not engage in any other business or occupation during the Term of Employment, including, without limitation, any activity that (i) conflicts with the interests of the Company or any other member of the Company Group, (ii) interferes with the proper and efficient performance of Executive’s duties for the Company or (iii) interferes with Executive’s exercise of judgment in the Company’s best interests. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall preclude Executive from (i) serving, with the prior written consent of the Board, as a member of the boards of directors or advisory boards (or their equivalents in the case of a non-corporate entity) of non-competing businesses and charitable organizations, (ii) engaging in charitable activities and community affairs, and (iii) managing Executive’s personal investments and affairs; provided, however, that the activities set out in clauses (i), (ii), and (iii) shall be limited by Executive so as not to materially interfere, individually or in the aggregate, with the performance of Executive’s duties and responsibilities hereunder.

Section 4.    Compensation.

(a)    Base Salary. During the Term of Employment, Executive shall be paid an annualized Base Salary, payable in accordance with the regular payroll practices of the Company, of $450,000, with increases, if any, as may be made by the Compensation Committee pursuant to the Company’s annual merit increase process.

(b)    Bonus. With respect to each fiscal year ending during the Term of Employment, Executive shall be eligible to earn an annual cash incentive bonus under any annual incentive program for senior executives established by the Board from time to time, if any (the “Bonus Plan”). Any such bonus opportunity may be based upon performance criteria established by the Board or a committee thereof for such fiscal year (or other performance period) in consultation with Executive. The target amount for such annual cash incentive bonus shall be no less than 100% of Executive’s Base Salary (the “Target Bonus”), and any actual bonus shall be determined in accordance with the terms of the annual cash incentive bonus plan as in effect from time to time (the “Bonus Plan”). Subject to the provisions of Section 7, any bonus described in this Section 4(b) will be paid according and subject to the terms of the Bonus Plan under which it was awarded, and the Company shall not be required to adopt or continue to provide Executive with any annual or other short-term cash incentive opportunity as a result of this Section 4(b).

(c)    Equity. Executive shall be eligible to participate in any equity compensation plan or similar long-term incentive program adopted by the Company. The amount awarded to the Executive under any such plan, if any, shall be in the discretion of the Board or any committee administering such plan.

Section 5.    Employee Benefits. During the Term of Employment, Executive (and, with respect to health benefits, Executive’s eligible dependents) shall be entitled to immediately participate (without regard to any waiting period, except as required by applicable law) in health, insurance, retirement, annual leave and time-off, and other benefits provided generally to similarly situated employees of the Company. Executive shall also be entitled to the same number of holidays, vacation days, and sick days, as well as any other benefits, in each case as are generally allowed to similarly situated employees of the Company in accordance with the Company policy as in effect from time to time. Nothing contained herein shall be construed to limit the Company’s ability to amend, suspend, or terminate any employee benefit plan or policy at any time without providing Executive notice, and the right to do so is expressly reserved.

Section 6.    Reimbursement of Expenses. Executive is authorized to incur reasonable business expenses in carrying out Executive’s duties and responsibilities under this Agreement, and the Company shall promptly reimburse Executive for all such reasonable business expenses, subject to documentation in accordance with the Company’s policy, as in effect from time to time.

Section 7.    Termination of Employment.

(a)    General. The Term of Employment shall terminate upon the earliest to occur of (i) Executive’s death, (ii) a termination by reason of a Disability, (iii) a termination by the Company with or without Cause, and (iv) a termination by Executive for any reason. Upon any termination of Executive’s employment for any reason, except as may otherwise be requested by the Company in writing and agreed upon in writing by Executive, Executive shall resign from any and all directorships, committee memberships, and any other positions Executive holds with the Company or any other member of the Company Group. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the payment (or commencement of a series of payments) hereunder of any nonqualified deferred compensation (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code) upon a termination of employment shall be delayed until such time as Executive has also undergone a “separation from service” as defined in Treas. Reg. 1.409A-1(h), at which time such nonqualified deferred compensation (calculated as of the date of Executive’s termination of employment hereunder) shall be paid (or commence to be paid) to Executive on the schedule set forth in this Section 7 as if Executive had undergone such termination of employment (under the same circumstances) on the date of Executive’s ultimate “separation from service.”

(b)    Termination Due to Death or Disability. Executive’s employment shall terminate automatically upon Executive’s death. The Company may terminate Executive’s employment immediately upon the occurrence of a Disability, such termination to be effective upon Executive’s receipt of written notice of such termination. Upon Executive’s death or in the event that Executive’s employment is terminated due to Disability, Executive or Executive’s estate or beneficiaries, as the case may be, shall be entitled to the Accrued Obligations.

Following Executive’s death or a termination of Executive’s employment by reason of a Disability, except as set forth in this Section 7(b), Executive shall have no further rights to any compensation or any other benefits under this Agreement.

(c)    Termination by the Company for Cause.

(i)    The Company may terminate Executive’s employment at any time for Cause, effective upon Executive’s receipt of written notice of such termination; provided, however, that with respect to any Cause termination relying on clauses (i), (ii), (iv) or (v) of the definition of Cause, to the extent that such act or acts or failure or failures to act are curable, Executive shall be given not less than ten (10) days’ written notice by the Board of the Company’s intention to terminate Executive for Cause, such notice to state in detail the particular act or acts or failure or failures to act that constitute the grounds on which the proposed termination for Cause is based, and such termination shall be effective at the expiration of such ten (10) day notice period unless Executive has fully cured such act or acts or failure or failures to act that give rise to Cause during such period.

-3-

(ii)    In the event that the Company terminates Executive’s employment for Cause, Executive shall be entitled to the Accrued Obligations. Following such termination of Executive’s employment for Cause, except as required by law, or as set forth in this Section 7(c)(ii), Executive shall have no further rights to any compensation or any other benefits under this Agreement.

(d)    Termination by the Company without Cause Outside the Change in Control Period. The Company may terminate Executive’s employment at any time without Cause, effective upon Executive’s receipt of written notice of such termination. In the event that Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company without Cause outside of the Change in Control Period, Executive shall be entitled to:

(i)    The Accrued Obligations;

(ii)    An amount equal to twelve (12) months of Executive’s Base Salary, payable in equal monthly installments over the twelve (12) month period beginning on the first administratively practicable payroll following the effective date of the Release of Claims as set forth in Section 7(h) hereof, subject to such withholdings as required by law;

(iii)    Payment of any annual bonus earned by Executive pursuant to Section 4(b) for any fiscal year completed prior to the date of termination that remains unpaid as of the Date of Termination, payable at the same time as such annual bonuses are paid to executives generally for such year;

(iv)    Payment of a pro-rated portion (based upon the number of days that Executive was employed by the Company during the year of termination) of any annual bonus that would have been earned by Executive pursuant to a Bonus Plan adopted by the Company, if any, for the fiscal year in which such termination occurred (based on actual performance during such year), which shall be payable at the same time as such annual bonuses are paid to executives generally for such year; and

(v)    An amount equal to eighteen (18) multiplied by the total applicable monthly premium cost for continued group health plan coverage under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended (“COBRA”), for Executive and Executive’s covered dependents under a group health plan sponsored by the Company in which Executive (or such dependents) participated at the time of termination of employment (the “COBRA Severance”), payable in a lump sum payment within thirty (30) days following the date of termination based upon the premium for the first month of COBRA.

-4-

(e)    Termination by the Company without Cause During the Change in Control Period. In the event that Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company without Cause during the period beginning three (3) months prior to and ending twelve (12) months following the occurrence of a Change in Control (the “Change in Control Period”), Executive shall be entitled to:

(i)    amounts set forth in Section 7(d)(i), (ii), (iii) and (v); provided, however, that (x) the number of months set forth in Section 7(d)(ii) shall be 18 and (y) all payments shall be paid in a lump sum payment within thirty (30) days following the date of termination (or, if later, within thirty (30) days following the effectiveness of the Release of Claims), rather than in installments; and

(ii)    100% of Target Bonus for the year of termination, paid in a lump sum payment within thirty (30) days following the date of termination, subject to such withholdings as required by law (or, if later, within thirty (30) days following the effectiveness of the Release of Claims).

(f)    Non-Duplication of Payment or Benefits: If (a) Executive’s termination occurs prior to a Change in Control that qualifies Executive for benefits under Section 7(d) of this Agreement and (b) a Change in Control occurs within the 3-month period following Executive’s termination that qualifies Executive for the superior benefits under Section 7(e) of this Agreement, then (i) Executive will cease receiving any further payments or benefits under Section 7(d) of this Agreement and (ii) benefits payable under Section 7(e) of this agreement will be paid, offset by the corresponding amounts paid pursuant to 7(d).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the payments and benefits described above in Sections (except the Accrued Obligations) shall immediately terminate, and the Company shall have no further obligations to Executive with respect thereto, in the event that Executive breaches any of the restrictive covenants contained in Schedule I attached hereto. For the avoidance of doubt, the payments and benefits described above shall remain in effect even if Executive accepts other employment. Following such termination of Executive’s employment due to a termination without Cause, either outside or within a Change in Control Period, except as required by law, or as set forth in this Section 7(d) or 7 (e), Executive shall have no further rights to any compensation or any other benefits under this Agreement

(g)    Resignation by Executive. Executive may terminate Executive’s employment at any time . In the event of a termination of employment by Executive under this Section 7(g), Executive shall be entitled only to the Accrued Obligations. In the event of termination of Executive’s employment under this Section 7(g), the Company may, in its sole and absolute discretion, by written notice accelerate such date of termination. Following such termination of Executive’s employment by Executive, except as required by law, or as set forth in this Section 7(g), Executive shall have no further rights to any compensation or any other benefits under this Agreement.

(h)    Release. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the payment of any amount or provision of any benefit pursuant to subsection (d) or (e) of this Section 7 (other than the Accrued Obligations) (collectively, the “Severance Benefits”) shall be conditioned upon Executive’s execution, delivery to the Company, and non-revocation of the Release of Claims (and the expiration of any revocation period contained in such Release of Claims) within sixty (60) days following the date of Executive’s termination of employment hereunder. If Executive fails to execute the Release of Claims in such a timely manner so as to permit any revocation period to expire prior to the end of such sixty (60) day period, or timely

-5-

revokes Executive’s acceptance of such release following its execution, Executive shall not be entitled to any of the Severance Benefits, provided that the Company must provide Executive with the Release of Claims within five (5) business days following the date of Executive’s termination of employment hereunder. Further, to the extent that any of the Severance Benefits constitutes “nonqualified deferred compensation” for purposes of Section 409A of the Code, any payment of any amount or provision of any benefit otherwise scheduled to occur prior to the sixtieth (60^th) day following the date of Executive’s termination of employment hereunder, but for the condition on executing the Release of Claims as set forth herein, shall not be made until the first regularly scheduled payroll date following such sixtieth (60^th) day, after which any remaining Severance Benefits shall thereafter be provided to Executive according to the applicable schedule set forth herein.

Section 8.    Certain Payments.

(a)    Parachute Payments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the event that any payment or benefit provided under this Agreement or any other plan, agreement or arrangement with the Company or any person affiliated with the Company (each a “Payment” and, collectively, the “Payments”) (i) constitutes “parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code or any comparable successor provisions (“Section 280G”), and (ii) but for this Section 8 would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code or any comparable successor provisions (the “Excise Tax”), then the Executive’s Payments shall be either:

(i)    Provided to the Executive in full, or

(ii)    Provided to the Executive to such lesser extent would result in no portion being subject to the Excise Tax,

whichever of the foregoing amounts, when taking into account applicable federal, state, local, and foreign income and employment taxes, the Excise Tax, and any other applicable taxes, results in the receipt by the Executive, on an after-tax basis, of the greater amount, notwithstanding that all or some portion of the Payments may be taxable under the Excise Tax. In the event that Section 8(a) applies and reduction is required to be applied to the Payments, the Payments shall be reduced by the Company in a manner and order of priority that provides the Executive with the largest net after-tax value; provided, that such other Payments of equal after-tax value shall be reduced in reverse order of payment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any reduction under this Section 8(a) shall be structured in a manner intended to comply with Section 409A of the Code.

(b)    If requested by Executive, and provided that the Payments are eligible for the shareholder approval exemption under Section 280G and the regulations thereunder and Executive contingently waives Executive’s rights to such Payments, the Company shall submit for approval by its stockholders, in conformance with Section 280G of the Code and the regulations thereunder, any Payments that constitute “parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code or any comparable successor provisions. Upon such submission, Section 8(a) of this Agreement shall cease to apply.

-6-

(c)    Determination by Professional Advisers. Any determinations required under this Section 8 shall be made in writing in good faith by a professional service firm selected by the Company (the “Professional Advisers”). For purposes of making the calculations required by this Section 8, the Professional Advisers may make reasonable assumptions and approximations concerning applicable taxes and may rely on reasonable, good faith interpretations concerning the application of the Code and other applicable legal authority. The Company and the Executive shall furnish to the Professional Advisers such information and documents as the Professional Advisers may reasonably request in order to make a determination under this Section 8. The Company shall bear all costs the Professional Advisers may reasonably incur in connection with any calculations contemplated by this Section 8; provided, that as required by Section 409A of the Code, the right to such benefit in kind is not subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit and the amount of such benefit in one year shall not affect any other benefits to be provided in any other year.

(d)    Repayments and Reimbursements. If, notwithstanding any reduction in this Section 8, the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) determines that the Executive is liable for the Excise Tax as a result of the receipt of the Payments, then the Executive shall be obliged to pay back to the Company, within thirty (30) days after a final IRS determination or in the event that the Executive challenges the final IRS determination, a final judicial determination, a portion of the Payments equal to “Repayment Amount.” The Repayment Amount shall be the smallest such amount, if any, as shall be required to be paid to the Company so that the Executive’s net after-tax proceeds with respect to any Payment (after taking into account the Payment of the Excise Tax and all other applicable taxes imposed on such Payment) shall be maximized. The Repayment Amount with respect to the Payment shall be zero if a Repayment Amount of more than zero would not result in the Executive’s net after-tax proceeds being maximized. If the Excise Tax is not eliminated pursuant to this paragraph, the Executive shall pay the Excise Tax.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 8, if (i) there is a reduction in the Payments under this Agreement as described in Section 8(a), (ii) the IRS later determines that the Executive is liable for the Excise Tax, the payment of which would result in the maximization of the Executive’s net after-tax proceeds (calculated as if the Executive’s Payments had not previously been reduced), and (iii) the Executive pays the Excise Tax, then the Company shall pay to the Executive the amount by which Executive’s Payments were reduced; provided, that to the extent required by Section 409A of the Code, the reimbursement is made on or before the last day of the Executive’s taxable year following the taxable year in which the Excise Tax was paid; the right to reimbursement is not subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit; and the amount subject to reimbursement in one year shall not affect any other amounts eligible for reimbursement in any other year.

If the Executive either (1) brings any action to enforce rights pursuant to this Section 8 or (2) defends any legal challenge to Executive’s rights hereunder, the Executive shall be entitled to recover attorneys’ fees and costs incurred in connection with such action, regardless of the outcome of such action; provided that (i) if such action is commenced by the Executive, the court finds the action was brought in good faith, (ii) the amounts eligible for reimbursement in one taxable year shall not affect the amount eligible for reimbursement in any other taxable year; (iii)

-7-

the reimbursement is made on or before the last day of the Executive’s taxable year following the taxable year in which the expense was incurred; and (iv) the right to reimbursement is not subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit.

Section 9.    Restrictive Covenants.

Executive shall be bound by the restrictive covenants attached hereto as Schedule I.

Section 10.    Representations and Warranties of Executive.

Executive represents and warrants to the Company that in connection with Executive’s employment with the Company, Executive will not use any confidential or proprietary information Executive may have obtained in connection with employment with any prior employer.

Section 11.    Taxes.

The Company may withhold from any payments made under this Agreement all applicable taxes, including but not limited to income, employment, and social insurance taxes, as shall be required by law. Executive acknowledges and represents that the Company has not provided any tax advice to Executive in connection with this Agreement and that Executive has been advised by the Company to seek tax advice from Executive’s own tax advisors regarding this Agreement and payments that may be made to Executive pursuant to this Agreement, including specifically, the application of the provisions of Section 409A of the Code to such payments.

Section 12.    Set Off; Mitigation.

The Company’s obligation to pay Executive the amounts provided and to make the arrangements provided hereunder shall be subject to set-off, counterclaim, or recoupment of amounts owed by Executive to the Company or its affiliates; provided, however, that to the extent any amount so subject to set-off, counterclaim, or recoupment is payable in installments hereunder, such set-off, counterclaim, or recoupment shall not modify the applicable payment date of any installment, and to the extent an obligation cannot be satisfied by reduction of a single installment payment, any portion not satisfied shall remain an outstanding obligation of Executive and shall be applied to the next installment only at such time the installment is otherwise payable pursuant to the specified payment schedule. Executive shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment provided pursuant to this Agreement by seeking other employment or otherwise the amount of any payment provided for pursuant to this Agreement shall not be reduced by any compensation earned as a result of Executive’s other employment or otherwise.

-8-

Section 13.    Additional Section 409A Provisions.

Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary:

(a)    Any payment otherwise required to be made hereunder to Executive at any date as a result of the termination of Executive’s employment shall be delayed for such period of time as may be necessary to meet the requirements of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code (the “Delay Period”). On the first business day following the expiration of the Delay Period, Executive shall be paid, in a single cash lump sum, an amount equal to the aggregate amount of all payments delayed pursuant to the preceding sentence, and any remaining payments not so delayed shall continue to be paid pursuant to the payment schedule set forth herein.

(b)    Each payment in a series of payments hereunder shall be deemed to be a separate payment for purposes of Section 409A of the Code.

(c)    To the extent that any right to reimbursement of expenses or payment of any benefit in-kind under this Agreement constitutes nonqualified deferred compensation (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code), (i) any such expense reimbursement shall be made by the Company no later than the last day of the taxable year following the taxable year in which such expense was incurred by Executive, (ii) the right to reimbursement or in-kind benefits shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit, and (iii) the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement or in-kind benefits provided during any taxable year shall not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement or in-kind benefits to be provided in any other taxable year; provided, that the foregoing clause shall not be violated with regard to expenses reimbursed under any arrangement covered by Section 105(b) of the Code solely because such expenses are subject to a limit related to the period the arrangement is in effect.

(d)    While the payments and benefits provided hereunder are intended to be structured in a manner to avoid the implication of any penalty taxes under Section 409A of the Code, in no event whatsoever shall any member of the Company Group be liable for any additional tax, interest, or penalties that may be imposed on Executive as a result of Section 409A of the Code or any damages for failing to comply with Section 409A of the Code (other than for withholding obligations or other obligations applicable to employers, if any, under Section 409A of the Code). If any provision of this Agreement (or of any award of compensation, including equity compensation or benefits) would cause Executive to incur any additional tax or interest under Section 409A of the Code, the Company shall, after consulting with and receiving the approval of Executive, reform such provision in a manner intended to avoid the incurrence by Executive of any such additional tax or interest.

Section 14.    Successors and Assigns; No Third-Party Beneficiaries.

(a)    The Company. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the Company and its respective successors and assigns. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, obligations, or interests arising hereunder may be assigned by the Company to a Person (other than another member of the Company Group, or its or their respective successors) without Executive’s prior written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned); provided, however, that in the event of a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company or any direct or indirect division or subsidiary thereof to which Executive’s employment primarily relates, the Company may provide that this Agreement will be assigned to, and assumed by, the acquirer of such assets, division or subsidiary, as applicable, without Executive’s consent.

-9-

(b)    Executive. Executive’s rights and obligations under this Agreement shall not be transferable by Executive by assignment or otherwise, without the prior written consent of the Company; provided, however, that if Executive shall die, all amounts then payable to Executive hereunder shall be paid in accordance with the terms of this Agreement to Executive’s devisee, legatee, or other designee, or if there be no such designee, to Executive’s estate.

(c)    No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Except as otherwise set forth in Section 7(b) or Section 14(b) hereof, nothing expressed or referred to in this Agreement will be construed to give any Person other than the Company, the other members of the Company Group, and Executive any legal or equitable right, remedy, or claim under or with respect to this Agreement or any provision of this Agreement.

Section 15.    Waiver and Amendments.

Any waiver, alteration, amendment, or modification of any of the terms of this Agreement shall be valid only if made in writing and signed by each of the parties hereto; provided, however, that any such waiver, alteration, amendment, or modification must be consented to on the Company’s behalf by the Board. No waiver by either of the parties hereto of their rights hereunder shall be deemed to constitute a waiver with respect to any subsequent occurrences or transactions hereunder unless such waiver specifically states that it is to be construed as a continuing waiver.

Section 16.    Severability.

If any covenant or other provisions of this Agreement are found to be invalid or unenforceable by a final determination of a court of competent jurisdiction, (a) the remaining terms and provisions hereof shall be unimpaired, and (b) the invalid or unenforceable term or provision hereof shall be deemed replaced by a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision hereof.

For and in consideration of the Severance Benefits (as defined in my Employment Agreement, dated June 1, 2019, with Chewy, Inc. (the “Employment Agreement”)), and other good and valuable consideration, I, Susan Helfrick, for and on behalf of myself and my heirs, administrators, executors, and assigns, effective the date on which this release becomes effective pursuant to its terms, do fully and forever release, remise, and discharge each of the Company and each of its direct and indirect subsidiaries and affiliates, together with their respective officers, directors, partners, shareholders, employees, and agents (collectively, the “Group”) from any and all claims whatsoever up to the date hereof that I had, may have had, or now have against the Group, for or by reason of any matter, cause, or thing whatsoever, including any claim arising out of or attributable to my employment or the termination of my employment with the Company, whether for tort, breach of express or implied employment contract, intentional infliction of emotional distress, wrongful termination, unjust dismissal, defamation, libel, or slander, or under any federal, state, or local law dealing with discrimination based on age, race, sex, national origin, handicap, religion, disability, or sexual orientation. This release of claims includes, but is not limited to, all claims arising under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (“ADEA”), Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Civil Rights Act of 1991, the Family Medical Leave Act, and the Equal Pay Act, each as may be amended from time to time, and all other federal, state, and local laws, the common law, and any other purported restriction on an employer’s right to terminate the employment of employees. The release contained herein is intended to be a general release of any and all claims to the fullest extent permissible by law.

I acknowledge and agree that as of the date I execute this Release, I have no knowledge of any facts or circumstances that give rise or could give rise to any claims under any of the laws listed in the preceding paragraph.

By executing this Release, I specifically release all claims relating to my employment and its termination under ADEA, a United States federal statute that, among other things, prohibits discrimination on the basis of age in employment and employee benefit plans.

Notwithstanding any provision of this Release to the contrary, by executing this Release, I am not releasing (i) any claims relating to my rights under Section 7 of the Employment Agreement, (ii) any claims that cannot be waived by law, or (iii) my right of indemnification as provided by, and in accordance with the terms of, applicable corporate law or the by-laws , certificate of incorporation or insurance policy providing such coverage of any member of the Group, as any of such may be amended from time to time.

I expressly acknowledge and agree that I –

I represent and warrant that I have not previously filed, and to the maximum extent permitted by law agree that I will not file, a complaint, charge, or lawsuit against any member of the Group regarding any of the claims released herein. If, notwithstanding this representation and warranty, I have filed or file such a complaint, charge, or lawsuit, I agree that I shall cause such complaint, charge, or lawsuit to be dismissed with prejudice and shall pay any and all costs required in obtaining dismissal of such complaint, charge, or lawsuit, including without limitation the attorneys’ fees of any member of the Group against whom I have filed such a complaint, charge, or lawsuit. This paragraph shall not apply, however, to a claim of age discrimination under ADEA or to any non-waivable right to file a charge with the United States Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (the “EEOC”); provided, however, that if the EEOC were to pursue any claims relating to my employment with Company, I agree that I shall not be entitled to recover any monetary damages or any other remedies or benefits as a result and that this Release and the Severance Benefits will control as the exclusive remedy and full settlement of all such claims by me.

Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, this Release will not become effective or enforceable prior to the expiration of the period of seven (7) calendar days following the date of its execution by me (the “Revocation Period”), during which time I may revoke my acceptance of this Release by notifying the Company and the Board of Directors of the Company, in writing, delivered to the Company at its principal executive office. To be effective, such revocation must be received by the Company no later than 11:59 p.m. on the seventh (7^th) calendar day following the execution of this Release. Provided that the Release is executed and I do not revoke it during the Revocation Period, the eighth (8^th) day following the date on which this Release is executed shall be its effective date. I acknowledge and agree that if I revoke this Release during the Revocation Period, this Release will be null and void and of no effect, and neither the Company nor any other member of the Company will have any obligations to pay me the Severance Benefits.

The provisions of this Release shall be binding upon my heirs, executors, administrators, legal personal representatives, and assigns. If any provision of this Release shall be held by any court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, void, or unenforceable, such provision shall be of no force or effect. The illegality or unenforceability of such provision, however, shall have no effect upon and shall not impair the enforceability of any other provision of this Release.

EXCEPT WHERE PREEMPTED BY FEDERAL LAW, THIS RELEASE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH FEDERAL LAW AND THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE, APPLICABLE TO AGREEMENTS MADE AND TO BE PERFORMED IN THAT STATE WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAWS.
