Reports to Government Entities Clause Example from Business Contracts

Reports to Government Entities. Nothing in this Agreement, including the Non-Disparagement clause and the Release and Waiver that is Annex B hereto, or in the Employment Agreement or any other agreement between you and the Company, restricts or prohibits you from initiating communications directly with, responding to any inquiries from, providing testimony before, providing confidential information to, reporting possible violations of law or regulation to, or from filing a claim or assisting with an investigation directly with... a self-regulatory authority or a government agency or entity, including the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission ("EEOC"), the Department of Labor ("DOL"), the National Labor Relations Board ("NLRB"), the Department of Justice ("DOJ"), the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), the Congress, and any agency Inspector General (collectively, the "Regulators"), or from making other disclosures that are protected under the whistleblower provisions of state or federal law or regulation. However, you are waiving your right to receive any individual monetary relief resulting from such claims, regardless of whether you or another party has filed them, and in the event you obtain such monetary relief the Company will be entitled to an offset for the payments made pursuant to this Agreement, except where such limitations are prohibited as a matter of law (e.g. under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, 18 U.S.C.A. §§ 1514A). You do not need the prior authorization of the Company to engage in such communications with the Regulators, respond to such inquiries from the Regulators, provide confidential information or documents to the Regulators, or make any such reports or disclosures to the Regulators. You are not required to notify the Company that you have engaged in such communications with the Regulators. View More
