Notwithstanding any other provision of this General Release to the contrary or potentially interpretable to the contrary, it is expressly agreed and understood that the Executive is not releasing hereunder any rights or potential claims for indemnification as otherwise available to the Executive as an officer, director, agent or in any other capacity.
