NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereto, intending to be legally bound hereby, agree as follows:

Execution Version

Kadre, Karolyn D. Barker, Michael Rucker and Waldemar A. Carlo, M.D. (the “Continuing Directors”) for election to the Board at the 2020 Annual Meeting for terms expiring at the Company’s 2021 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the “2021 Annual Meeting”) and shall recommend, support and solicit proxies for the election of the Starboard Independent Appointees at the 2020 Annual Meeting in the same manner as it recommends, supports and solicits proxies for the election of the Continuing Directors. The Company shall use its reasonable efforts to hold the 2020 Annual Meeting no later than September 10, 2020. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to hold the 2021 Annual Meeting no later than May 28, 2021.

(ii)    If any Starboard Independent Appointee (or any Starboard Replacement Director (as defined below)) is unable or unwilling to serve as a director and ceases to be a director, resigns as a director, is removed as a director, or for any other reason fails to serve or is not serving as a director at any time prior to the expiration of the Standstill Period (as defined below), and at such time Starboard beneficially owns (as determined under Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) in the aggregate at least the lesser of 3% of the Company’s then-outstanding Common Stock and 2,566,025 shares of Common Stock (subject to adjustment for stock splits, reclassifications, combinations and similar adjustments)(the “Minimum Ownership Threshold”), Starboard shall have the ability to recommend a person to be a Starboard Replacement Director in accordance with this Section 1(a)(ii) (any such replacement nominee, when appointed to the Board, shall be referred to as a “Starboard Replacement Director”). Any Starboard Replacement Director must (A) be reasonably acceptable to the Board (such acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld), (B) qualify as “independent” pursuant to New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) listing standards, (C) have the relevant financial and business experience to be a director of the Company, and (D) unless otherwise consented to by the Board and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, be independent, and not be an Affiliate (as defined below), of Starboard (for the avoidance of doubt, the nomination by Starboard of such person to serve on the board of any other company shall not, in and of itself, cause such person to not be deemed independent of Starboard). The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board (the “Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee”) shall make its determination and recommendation regarding whether such Starboard Replacement Director meets the foregoing criteria within five (5) business days after (1) such nominee has submitted to the Company the documentation required by Section 1(c)(iv), including such nominee’s consent to a customary background check, and (2) representatives of the Board have conducted customary interview(s) of such nominee, if such interviews are requested by the Board or the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to conduct the background check and any interview(s) contemplated by this Section 1(a)(ii) as promptly as practicable, but in any case, with respect to the interview(s), assuming reasonable availability of the nominee, within ten (10) business days after Starboard’s submission of such nominee. In the event the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee does not accept a person recommended by Starboard as the Starboard Replacement Director, Starboard shall have the right to recommend additional substitute person(s) whose appointment shall be subject to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee recommending such person in accordance with the procedures described above. Upon the recommendation of a Starboard Replacement Director nominee by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, the Board shall vote on the appointment of such Starboard Replacement Director to the Board no later than five (5) business days after the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee’s recommendation of such Starboard Replacement Director; provided, however, that if the Board does not appoint such Starboard Replacement Director to the

Execution Version

Board pursuant to this Section 1(a)(ii), the Parties shall continue to follow the procedures of this Section 1(a)(ii) until a Starboard Replacement Director is elected to the Board. Subject to NYSE rules and applicable law, upon a Starboard Replacement Director’s appointment to the Board, the Board and all applicable committees of the Board shall take all necessary actions to appoint such Starboard Replacement Director to any applicable committee of the Board of which the replaced director was a member immediately prior to such director’s resignation or removal. Subject to NYSE rules and applicable law, until such time as any Starboard Replacement Director is appointed to any applicable committee of the Board, one of the other Starboard Independent Appointees (as designated by Starboard) will serve as an interim member of such applicable committee. Any Starboard Replacement Director designated pursuant to this Section 1(a)(ii) replacing a Starboard Independent Appointee prior to the mailing of the Company’s definitive proxy statement for the 2020 Annual Meeting shall stand for election at the 2020 Annual Meeting together with the other director nominees.

(iii)    Concurrent with the execution of this Agreement, Dr. Medel shall execute and deliver to the Company an advance irrevocable resignation letter pursuant to which he shall resign from the Board and all applicable committees thereof effective upon conclusion of the 2021 Annual Meeting (the “Retirement Date”). At the Retirement Date, the Board and all applicable committees of the Board shall take all necessary actions to accept the resignation of Dr. Medel from the Board and all applicable committees thereof.

(iv)    The Company hereby confirms that, concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, the Company and Dr. Medel have entered into a Separation Agreement (the “Separation Agreement”) pursuant to which, among other things, Dr. Medel has retired as Chief Executive Officer of the Company. Prior to the date of this Agreement, a true copy of the fully executed Separation Agreement has been furnished to Starboard.

(v)     The Company agrees that immediately following the execution of this Agreement, the Board and all applicable committees of the Board shall take all necessary actions to appoint Mr. Sansone as Chair of the Board. Mr. Sansone shall continue to serve in such position for the duration of the Standstill Period.

(vi)    During the period commencing with the date of this Agreement through the expiration of the Standstill Period, the Board and all applicable committees of the Board shall not increase the size of the Board to more than eleven (11) directors provided, however, the Board may be increased during this period upon Starboard’s prior written consent to increase the size of the Board.

(vii)    The Company agrees that the Board, which includes the Starboard Independent Appointees, will hold a meeting of the Board no later than prior to the opening of trading on the NYSE on the first business day following the date of this Agreement.

(viii)    The Company agrees that during the Standstill Period, Gavin T. Molinelli shall be an observer to the Board (the “Starboard Observer”) and shall receive copies of all documents distributed to the Board during the Standstill Period, including notice of all meetings of the Board, all written consents executed by the Board, all materials prepared for consideration at any meeting of the Board, and all minutes related to each meeting of the Board contemporaneous

Execution Version

with their distribution to the Board. The Starboard Observer shall have the right to attend and participate, but not vote, at all meetings of the Board during the Standstill Period (whether such meetings are held in person, telephonically or otherwise). For the avoidance of doubt, the Starboard Observer shall have the right to request and shall be granted access to all of the documents that are accessible by all members of the Board. In addition, the Starboard Observer shall have the right to attend and participate, but not vote, at all meetings of the Strategy Committee (as defined below), the Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Compensation Committee”) and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee during the Standstill Period (whether such meetings are held in person, telephonically or otherwise) and shall receive copies of all documents distributed to such committees during the Standstill Period, including notice of all meetings of such committees, all written consents executed by such committees, all materials prepared for consideration at any meeting of such committees, and all minutes related to each meeting of such committees contemporaneous with their distribution to the members of such committees. The Starboard Observer will agree to comply with all confidentiality, corporate governance, conflict of interest, Regulation FD, code of conduct and ethics, and insider trading policies and guidelines of the Company that have been provided to the Starboard Observer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company reserves the right to exclude the Starboard Observer from access to any material or meeting or portion thereof if, and only to the extent that, the Board determines reasonably and in good faith that (i) such exclusion is necessary to preserve the attorney-client privilege or (ii) access to such material or meeting or portion thereof could result in a conflict of interest between Starboard or the Starboard Observer and the Company. As a condition to serving as the Starboard Observer, the Starboard Observer shall deliver to the Company an executed confidentiality agreement in a form to be agreed between the Parties prior to the date of this Agreement, and shall also agree to hold any information received as the Starboard Observer subject to the fiduciary duties that he or she would have to the Company and its shareholders were he or she a director of the Company. The Company agrees to indemnify the Starboard Observer to the same extent, and subject to the same conditions and limitations, that all directors of the Company are indemnified by the Company, provided that the foregoing indemnification shall not be applicable if a court of competent jurisdiction determines that the Starboard Observer either violated the terms of this Agreement, including by breaching his or her fiduciary duties, such as the duty of loyalty, or the acts in question were the result of the Starboard Observer’s bad faith misconduct.

(b)    Board Committees.

(i)    Strategy Committee.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — July 13, 2020 — MEDNAX, Inc. (NYSE: MD), the nation’s leading provider of maternal-fetal, newborn and pediatric subspecialty care, today announced that the Company’s Board of Directors has appointed Mark S. Ordan as Chief Executive Officer, succeeding Roger J. Medel, M.D., the Company’s founder. Dr. Medel will remain a member of the Board until the 2021 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.

“Since founding this company in 1979, it has been my great honor and privilege to work alongside MEDNAX’s clinicians and employees over the past 41 years,” said Dr. Medel. “After four decades, I know that this organization’s commitment to Take Great Care of the Patient is stronger than ever. I am equally committed to ensuring a successful transition, and I am confident that we will touch even more lives and reach new heights for many years to come.”

Mr. Ordan previously served as Chief Executive Officer of Quality Care Properties, Inc., a publicly traded real estate company and one of the largest actively managed companies focused on post-acute, skilled nursing and memory care/assisted living properties, since its spin-off from HCP, Inc. in 2016 until 2018. In July 2018, Mr. Ordan completed a sale of the company to Welltower (NYSE: WELL) and Promedica. Mr. Ordan served as Chief Executive Officer of

Washington Prime Group Inc. (NYSE: WPG), a REIT that owns, develops and manages over 100 malls and shopping centers, from 2014 to 2015. During his tenure, he launched the company as a spin-off of the Simon Property Group (NYSE: SPG).

Mr. Ordan served as Chief Executive Officer of Sunrise Senior Living, Inc., a publicly traded operator and owner of approximately 300 senior living communities in the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom, from 2008 to 2013.

Mr. Ordan served as Chief Executive Officer of The Mills Corporation, a publicly traded developer, owner and manager of a diversified portfolio of regional shopping malls and retail entertainment centers, from 2006 to 2007.

Mr. Ordan serves on the Board of Directors of VEREIT (NYSE: VER) and Federal Realty Investment Trust (NYSE: FRT).

“I am honored to join MEDNAX’s outstanding team of passionate physicians, clinicians and employees,” said Mr. Ordan. “Roger is a renowned physician who has built an amazing company. I look forward to working with Guy, Roger, the other Board members and management team to continue putting patient needs first and creating value for shareholders.”

“On behalf of the entire Company, I want to thank Roger for his extraordinary vision, leadership and contributions to MEDNAX throughout his decades of services as our CEO,” said Manny Kadre, MEDNAX Lead Independent Director. “Under his guidance and leadership, MEDNAX has grown from a single neonatology group into the nationally recognized organization it is today. Since founding the Company, Roger has instilled a physician- and patient-centric culture that will endure for decades to come. We look forward to his continuing contributions as a member of our Board of Directors.”

Board of Directors Transitions

The Company today also announced that its Board has appointed five new directors: Thomas A. McEachin, Mr. Ordan, Guy P. Sansone, John M. Starcher, Jr. and Shirley A. Weis.

Commensurate with these appointments, current directors Cesar L. Alvarez, Michael B. Fernandez, Pascal J. Goldschmidt, M.D., Carlos A. Migoya and Enrique J. Sosa, Ph.D. have stepped down from the Board. Mr. Sansone has succeeded Mr. Alvarez as Chair of the Board. These changes are effective immediately.

“We are excited to welcome Tom, Mark, Guy, John and Shirley to the MEDNAX Board of Directors,” said Mr. Kadre. “Together, these experienced leaders possess deep collective knowledge of the healthcare services industry and I am confident that their unique expertise will further enhance the Board’s capabilities to oversee the execution of the Company’s strategy and complete its transformation. I would also like to thank Cesar, Michael, Pascal, Carlos and Enrique for their deep dedication and exemplary service to MEDNAX over the years.”

“I am proud to be joining the Board as Chair during such an exciting time for the Company,” said Mr. Sansone. “I look forward to working with the Board and management team to help realize the remarkable future potential for this Company. I would like to thank Roger for building such an esteemed company, and I am confident that Mark is the ideal leader to guide MEDNAX into its next chapter.”

“MEDNAX is an outstanding company and I believe there is tremendous opportunity to build upon the strong legacy and foundation that Roger has created,” said Mr. Ordan. “We will continue the Company’s commitment to provide leading health solutions, deliver exceptional care for our patients, and improve patient outcomes. Our strong network of experienced clinicians will continue to expand and evolve to meet our patients’ needs.”

Agreement with Starboard Value

These announcements are pursuant to an agreement that MEDNAX has reached with Starboard Value LP and its affiliates (“Starboard”), an investment firm which owns approximately 9.9% of MEDNAX’s outstanding common stock.

Under the terms of the agreement, Starboard has withdrawn its director nominations previously submitted to the Company and agreed to support the Board’s full slate of directors at the Company’s 2020 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.

(c)    Nothing in this Agreement or in the Release attached hereto prohibits or prevents Employee from filing a charge with or participating, testifying, or assisting in any investigation, hearing, or other proceeding before the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the National Labor Relations Board, or a similar agency enforcing federal, state, or local anti-discrimination laws (except that Employee acknowledges that he may not recover any monetary benefits or personal relief in connection therewith). In addition, nothing in this Agreement or in the Release attached hereto, including but not limited to the release of claims in the Release nor the confidentiality clauses herein, prohibits Employee from: (i) reporting possible violations of federal law or regulations, including any possible securities laws violations, to any governmental agency or entity, including but not limited to the U.S. Department of Justice, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the U.S. Congress, or any agency Inspector General; (ii) making any other disclosures that are protected under the whistleblower provisions of federal law or regulations; or (iii) otherwise fully participating in any federal whistleblower programs, including but not limited to any such programs managed by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and/or the Occupational Safety and Health Administration. Moreover, nothing in this Agreement or the Release attached hereto prohibits or prevents Employee from receiving individual monetary awards or other individual relief by virtue of participating in such federal whistleblower programs.

5.    Consideration Period. Employee shall have twenty-one (21) days to sign this Agreement, but he may knowingly and voluntarily waive that twenty-one (21) day period by signing this Agreement earlier.

6.    Governing Law; Dispute Resolution. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida without regard to its conflict of laws principles to the extent that such principles would require the application of laws other than the laws of the State of Florida. Any dispute between the Parties related to this Agreement or any agreement referenced herein shall be determined according to the arbitration and dispute resolution provisions set forth in Section 9 of the Employment Agreement, provided, however, that notwithstanding Section 9 of the Employment Agreement, (a) if Employee seeks arbitration to enforce the terms of this Agreement, including the Employment Agreement and the Consulting Agreement, Employer shall bear all costs associated with such arbitration, including but not limited to all costs of the arbitrator, and shall reimburse Employee on a monthly basis for his reasonable legal and other expenses, including all fees, incurred in connection with any such arbitration, and (b) in the event that Employer brings suit against Employee seeking injunctive relief, Employer agrees to advance all of Employee’s reasonable legal and other expenses, including all fees, incurred by Employee in connection with such action, provided, however, that if Employer ultimately prevails in seeking injunctive relief, Employee shall reimburse Employer all such advanced legal fees and other expenses.

7.    Employee Acknowledgement. Employee acknowledges that he has read this Agreement, that he has been advised (by this Agreement) to consult with an attorney before he signs this Agreement, and that he understands all of its terms and signs it voluntarily and with full knowledge of its significance and the consequences thereof.

9.    Contingent Severance Benefits. Employer’s continuing obligations under this Agreement are contingent upon Employee’s compliance with all terms and conditions provided for in this Agreement and the Release. In the event that Employee breaches any of his obligations under this Agreement or the Release, Employee agrees that Employer may cease making any severance payments due under this Agreement, and recover all severance payments already made under this Agreement, in addition to all other available legal remedies. For the avoidance of doubt, a breach by Employee or noncompliance of terms and conditions by Employee under the Consulting Agreement shall not be deemed noncompliance with the terms and conditions provided for in this Agreement and the Release.

10.    Effective Date. Conditioned on all Parties executing it, this Agreement shall be considered effective as of July 12, 2020.

11.    Entire Agreement. Prior to the Separation Date, the Employment Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, except where the Employment Agreement and this Agreement conflict, in which case this Agreement shall control. As of the Separation Date, this Agreement, including the Release and Consulting Agreement attached hereto and the other documents referenced herein, and the surviving provisions of the Employment Agreement shall constitute the

5

entire agreement between the Parties with respect to Employee’s former employment with Employer and the Parties’ relationship and obligations to each other; provided that any equity awards held by Employee shall be governed by the applicable equity plan and grant documents, and the Employment Agreement’s provisions regarding Employee’s vesting rights, including accelerated vesting rights, shall continue in full force and effect, in each case as modified by this Agreement.

12.    Assignment; Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement and all rights of Employee under this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Employee’s personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs, distributees, devisees and legatees. If Employee should die before all Severance Benefits have been received by Employee, then such remaining Severance Benefits shall be paid to Employee’s devisee, legatee, or other designee or, if there is no such designee, Employee’s estate. This Agreement shall be for the benefit of and binding upon the parties hereto and their respective heirs, personal representatives, legal representatives, successors and, where applicable, assigns.

(b)    Notwithstanding anything in Paragraph 1(a) above to the contrary, this Release shall not apply to (i) any actions to enforce rights to receive any payments or benefits which may be due to Employee pursuant to the Employment Agreement, under any of Employer’s employee benefit plans, or the Consulting Agreement; (ii) any rights or claims that may arise as a result of events occurring after the date this Release is signed by Employee; (iii) any indemnification rights Employee may have as a current or former officer or director of Employer or its Affiliates; (iv) any claims for benefits under any directors’ or officers’ liability policy maintained by Employer or its Affiliates in accordance with the terms of such policy; (v) any rights Employee may have as a holder of equity securities of MEDNAX, including all vesting and accelerated vesting rights as set forth in the Employment Agreement and the Agreement; (vi) any claims that cannot be waived as a matter of law; (vii) any claims Employee may have to government-sponsored and administered benefits such as unemployment insurance, workers’ compensation insurance (excluding claims for retaliation under workers’ compensation laws), state disability insurance, and paid family leave benefits; and (viii) any benefits that vested on or prior to the Separation Date pursuant to a written benefit plan sponsored by Employer and governed by the federal law known as “ERISA.”

(c)    Nothing in this Release prohibits or prevents Employee from filing a charge with or participating, testifying, or assisting in any investigation, hearing, or other proceeding before the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the National Labor Relations Board or a similar agency enforcing federal, state or local anti-discrimination laws (except that Employee acknowledges that he may not recover any monetary benefits or personal relief in connection therewith). Additionally, nothing in this Release prevents Employee from: (i) reporting possible violations of federal law or regulations, including any possible securities laws violations, to any governmental agency or entity, including but not limited to the U.S. Department of Justice, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the U.S. Congress, or any agency Inspector General; (ii) making any other disclosures that are protected under the whistleblower provisions of federal law or regulations; or (iii) otherwise fully participating in any federal whistleblower programs, including but not limited to any such programs managed by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and/or the Occupational Safety and Health Administration. Moreover, nothing in this Release prohibits or prevents Employee from receiving individual monetary awards or other individual relief by virtue of participating in such federal whistleblower programs.

2.    Employee Representations and Covenant Not to Sue. Employee represents that he has not filed against the Released Parties any complaints, charges, or lawsuits arising out of his employment, termination of employment, or any other matter arising on or prior to the date Employee signed this Release, and covenants and agrees that he will never individually or with any person or entity file, or commence the filing of, any charge, lawsuit, complaint, or proceeding with any governmental agency, or against the Released Parties with respect to any of the matters released by Employee pursuant to Paragraph 1(a) hereof (a “Proceeding”); provided, however, Employee retains the right to commence a Proceeding to challenge whether Employee knowingly and voluntarily waived his rights under ADEA. If Employee does pursue a legal claim or files an administrative charge that may not be released as a matter of law, or if such a claim or charge is brought on Employee’s behalf, Employee waives any right to recover any monetary payments or other individual benefits in any such proceeding (except that, for purposes of clarity, this limitation on monetary recovery shall not apply to proceedings before the Securities and Exchange Commission or pursuant to other federal whistleblower claims).

3.    Reimbursements; Employee Acknowledgements. Employee acknowledges that he has been or will be reimbursed by Employer for all business expenses in accordance with Section 3.1 of the Employment Agreement. Any requests for reimbursement of expenses must be submitted by September 1, 2020 to the Chief Financial Officer of Employer and supported by adequate documentation.

5.    Separation Agreement. This Release incorporates by reference, as if set forth fully herein, all terms and conditions of the Agreement. Employee acknowledges that this Release is not intended to otherwise change, alter or amend any of the terms and conditions of the Agreement, which Agreement remains in full force and effect.

Employee’s execution of this Release is a condition to his receipt of the benefits pursuant to Section 4 of the Second Amendment to the Employment Agreement between Employer and Employee effective as of July 12, 2020 (the “Amendment”), to which this Release is attached as Exhibit A. Any terms not defined herein shall have the meaning set forth in the Amendment or the Employment Agreement.

1.    Release.

(a)    Employee, for himself and his family, heirs, executors, administrators, legal representatives, and their respective successors and assigns, in exchange for the consideration to be provided pursuant to Section 4 of the Amendment hereby gives up, releases, and discharges Employer, MEDNAX, Inc. and each of their subsidiaries, Affiliates, successors and assigns, and their current and former directors, managers, officers, employees, shareholders and agents in such capacities (each a “Released Party” and, collectively with Employer and MEDNAX, Inc., the “Released Parties”) from any and all rights and claims that Employee may have against the Released Parties as of the date Employee signs this Release arising from or in connection with Employee’s employment with Employer, including without limitation any and all rights and claims to or for attorneys’ fees, whether or not Employee presently is aware of such rights or claims or suspects them to exist. These rights and claims include, but are not limited to, any and all rights and claims which Employee may have under, or arising out of, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, as amended (the “ADEA”); the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, as amended; the Family and Medical Leave Act; Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended; and any other federal, state, or local constitution, statute, ordinance, executive order, or common law.

(b)    Notwithstanding anything in Paragraph 1(a) above to the contrary, this Release shall not apply to (i) any actions to enforce rights to receive any payments or benefits which may be due to Employee pursuant to the Employment Agreement or under any of Employer’s employee benefit plans; (ii) any rights or claims that may arise as a result of events occurring after the date this Release is signed by Employee; (iii) any indemnification rights Employee may have as a current or former officer or director of Employer or its Affiliates; (iv) any claims for benefits under any directors’ or officers’ liability policy maintained by Employer or its Affiliates in accordance with the terms of such policy; (v) any rights Employee may have as a holder of equity securities of MEDNAX, including all vesting and accelerated vesting rights as set forth in the Employment Agreement; (vi) any claims that cannot be waived as a matter of law; (vii) any claims Employee may have to government-sponsored and administered benefits such as unemployment insurance, workers’ compensation insurance (excluding claims for retaliation under workers’ compensation laws), state disability insurance, and paid family leave benefits; (viii) any benefits that vested on or prior to the Effective Date pursuant to a written benefit plan sponsored by Employer and governed by the federal law known as “ERISA”; and (ix) any claims with respect to Employee’s continued employment after the Effective Date.

A-1

(c)    Nothing in this Release prohibits or prevents Employee from filing a charge with or participating, testifying, or assisting in any investigation, hearing, or other proceeding before the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the National Labor Relations Board or a similar agency enforcing federal, state or local anti-discrimination laws (except that Employee acknowledges that he may not recover any monetary benefits or personal relief in connection therewith). Additionally, nothing in this Release prevents Employee from: (i) reporting possible violations of federal law or regulations, including any possible securities laws violations, to any governmental agency or entity, including but not limited to the U.S. Department of Justice, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the U.S. Congress, or any agency Inspector General; (ii) making any other disclosures that are protected under the whistleblower provisions of federal law or regulations; or (iii) otherwise fully participating in any federal whistleblower programs, including but not limited to any such programs managed by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and/or the Occupational Safety and Health Administration. Moreover, nothing in this Release prohibits or prevents Employee from receiving individual monetary awards or other individual relief by virtue of participating in such federal whistleblower programs.

2.    Employee Representations and Covenant Not to Sue. Employee represents that he has not filed against the Released Parties any complaints, charges, or lawsuits arising out of his employment, termination of employment, or any other matter arising on or prior to the date Employee signed this Release, and covenants and agrees that he will never individually or with any person or entity file, or commence the filing of, any charge, lawsuit, complaint, or proceeding with any governmental agency, or against the Released Parties with respect to any of the matters released by Employee pursuant to Paragraph 1(a) hereof (a “Proceeding”); provided, however, Employee retains the right to commence a Proceeding to challenge whether Employee knowingly and voluntarily waived his rights under ADEA. If Employee does pursue a legal claim or files an administrative charge that may not be released as a matter of law, or if such a claim or charge is brought on Employee’s behalf, Employee waives any right to recover any monetary payments or other individual benefits in any such proceeding (except that, for purposes of clarity, this limitation on monetary recovery shall not apply to proceedings before the Securities and Exchange Commission or pursuant to other federal whistleblower claims).

3.    Severability. If any provision of this Agreement, or any part thereof, is determined to be invalid or unenforceable by a court having jurisdiction in the matter, all of the remaining provisions and parts of this Agreement shall remain fully enforceable; except that, if the provisions in Paragraph 1 concerning releases are held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, then Employee will be required to enter into a new Release with an enforceable release, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by all parties.

4.    Consideration Period; Revocation Period. Employee hereby shall have twenty-one (21) days to sign this Release, but he may knowingly and voluntarily waive that twenty-one (21) day period by signing this Release earlier. Employee shall have seven (7) days following the date on which he signs this Release within which he may revoke it by providing a written notice of his revocation to the General Counsel of Employer.

5.    Additional Employee Acknowledgement. Employee acknowledges that he has read this Release, that he has been advised to consult with an attorney before he signs this Release, and that he understands all of its terms and signs it voluntarily and with full knowledge of its significance and the consequences thereof.

A-2

6.    Consideration. Employee acknowledges that the execution of this Release is in further consideration of the payments due to Employee under Section 4 of the Amendment, which includes benefits to which Employee acknowledges he would not be entitled if he did not sign this Release.

7.    Effective Date. This Release shall take effect on the eighth (8th) day following Employee’s signing it unless Employee’s written revocation is delivered to the General Counsel of Employer within seven (7) days after Employee signs this Release, in which case this Release shall be null and void and of no legal effect.

Employee provides this Release as of the current date. Employee intends that this Release become a binding agreement between Employee and Employer.
