d)    In the event that the Company receives an inquiry from a future prospective employer, the Company will only disclose the position you held and the duration of your employment, unless you authorize in writing that additional information to be disclosed.

e)    The Company makes no representations to you regarding the taxability and/or tax implications of this Agreement.
