This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the parties hereto in respect of the terms and conditions of Executive’s employment with the Company and its Affiliates, including his severance entitlements, and, as of the Effective Date, supersedes and cancels in their entirety all prior understandings, agreements and commitments, whether written or oral, relating to the terms and conditions of employment between Executive, on the one hand, and the Company or its Affiliates, on the other hand.  For the avoidance of doubt, this Agreement does not limit the terms of any benefit plans (including equity award agreements) of the Company or its Affiliates that are applicable Executive, except to the extent that the terms of this Agreement are more favorable to Executive.  From and after the Effective Date, the obligations of Executive under Section 9 shall be the exclusive restrictive covenant to which Executive is bound and any other restrictive covenants, including noncompetition and nonsolicitation restrictions, set forth in any agreement between Executive and the Company or its Affiliates, including any equity award agreement, shall be void and of no force and effect.
