It is the intention of the Seller that such release of the Seller Released Claims shall be effective as a bar to each and every demand, claim and proceeding hereinabove specified and in furtherance of such intention, and the Seller, hereby expressly waives, effective as of the Closing Date, any and all rights and benefits conferred upon the Seller under applicable law and expressly agrees that this release will be given full force and effect according to each and all of its express terms and provisions, including those related to unknown and unsuspected demands and proceedings, if any, as those relating to any other demands and proceedings hereinabove specified, but only to the extent such provision is applicable to releases such as this Section 4(c)(i).

Section 1542 provides:

A general release does not extend to claims that the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release and that, if known by him or her, would have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or released party.

(iv) Each of the parties hereto, on behalf of itself, its successors and assigns, acknowledges that its own legal counsel has explained the effect and importance of the provisions of Section 1542, and of a waiver of the provisions of Section 1542.

Each of the parties hereto, on behalf of itself, its successors and assigns, acknowledges that it is aware that it might hereafter discover facts in addition to or different from those that it now knows or believes to be true with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement, but it is the intention of the Seller and the Company (A) hereby to fully and finally forever settle and release any and all matters, disputes and differences, known or unknown, suspected and unsuspected, arising out of, based upon, or relating to, any and all claims, and (B) that the releases contained in Section 4(c)(i) and Section 4(c)(ii) shall remain in effect as full and complete general releases, notwithstanding discovery of, or the existence of, any such additional or different facts.

(d) Non-Compete.

(i) The Seller hereby agrees not to compete with any products or services currently offered by the Company, as such business of the Company is described in the that certain Registration Statement of the Company confidentially submitted on Form S-1 to the Securities and Exchange Commission (which the Seller acknowledges it has reviewed) (any such business, a “Competitive Business”) for three years following the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, coffee, pill, juice and powder supplement products used for inflammation and anti-aging, that do not contain protein, will not constitute a Competitive Business.

(ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prohibit the Seller, directly or indirectly, through an Affiliate or otherwise, from (A) owning, acquiring, holding or disposing of any investment, directly or indirectly, comprising not more than five percent (5%) of the fully-diluted equity interests of any publicly traded or privately held entity engaged in a Competitive Business, (B) performing any services for the Company or any of its subsidiaries, or (C) from owning, acquiring, holding or disposing of any interest in any private equity, venture capital or other investment fund that is managed by a third party investment manager, so long as the Seller has no participation in the governance or operation of such investment fund with respect to any Competitive Business.
