In return for the benefits provided for in subparagraphs 7(d)(i) or 7(f)(ii) of the Executive Agreement entered into as of April 1, 2004 (the "Agreement"), the adequacy of which as consideration is hereby acknowledged, Philip B. Flynn (hereinafter "Mr. Flynn") hereby fully releases and forever discharges Union Bank of California, N.A., its parent, affiliated, and subsidiary corporations, its and their successors and assigns, and the past and present officers, directors, employees, shareholders, agents and employee benefit plans of each (hereinafter collectively the "Bank") from any and all actions, causes of action, claims, demands, damages, and liabilities of whatsoever kind or character, in law or in equity, now known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, past or present, that he has ever had or currently may have against them or any of them including, but not limited to, claims of race, sex, religious, age, disability, medical condition (in and as defined under California law), marital status, veteran status, sexual orientation or national origin discrimination under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, as amended, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, as amended, the Family and Medical Leave Act, the California Fair Employment and Housing Act, and any other federal, state or local laws, arising out of or in any way related to Mr. Flynn's employment with the Bank or the termination of that employment. Except as otherwise may be provided by law, Mr. Flynn further agrees not to institute in any state or federal court any action or claim of any kind against the Bank. Execution of this document by Mr. Flynn operates as a complete bar and defense against any and all current claims of any type that may be made by Mr. Flynn against the Bank, provided, however, that nothing in this release is intended to affect Mr. Flynn's right to seek a remedy in arbitration to resolve any controversy arising out of the construction or application of the terms, provisions or conditions of the Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Release is intended to constitute a waiver by Mr. Flynn of any right or claim to Page 70 of 75 Case 2:06-cv-00072-DF-CMC Document 526 Filed 02/16/2007 Page 13 of 13 indemnification or to directors' and officers' liability insurance coverage or any right or claim under any applicable policy of directors' and officers' liability insurance he may have now or in the future have or any rights as a shareholder of the Bank. 2. Mr. Flynn and the Bank understand and expressly agree that the release granted in Paragraph 1 extends to all claims of every nature and kind, known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, past or present, which Mr. Flynn may have against the Bank arising from or related to his employment with the Bank or the termination of that employment and that any and all rights granted to Mr. Flynn under Section 1542 of the California Civil Code or any analogous state law, federal law, or regulation are hereby expressly waived. Section 1542 of the California Civil Code provides that: A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor. -1- 3. Mr. Flynn agrees that this General and Special Release, the terms and conditions of the Agreement, and any and all actions in accordance therewith, are strictly confidential. Therefore, the terms and conditions of the Agreement shall not be disclosed, discussed, or revealed by Mr. Flynn to any other persons, entities or organization, whether within or outside the Bank, except by Mr. Flynn to his immediate family, attorneys or personal financial advisors, or as may be required by applicable law, or to enforce the terms hereof. The foregoing limitation shall not apply to the extent that the Agreement or this General and Special Release has become part of the public record. 4. Mr. Flynn acknowledges and agrees that in the course of employment with the Bank he has acquired confidential information and trade secrets concerning the Bank, business strategies, corporate structure, regulatory issues, securities, litigation, claims, threatened claims, affiliate transactions, Board of Directors, Board Committee business, government relations, Office of the Comptroller of the Currency relations and other highly private and confidential data (collectively, the "Confidential Information"). Mr. Flynn agrees that he shall not use or disclose any Confidential Information acquired during the course of his employment with the Bank to any third party without the express written consent of the Chief Executive Officer of the Bank; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply to (i) information that becomes generally known in the financial services industry other than as a result of improper disclosure by Mr. Flynn and (ii) Mr. Flynn's compliance with a subpoena, court order or other proper legal process or regulatory requirements or inquiry. In the case of (ii), to the extent not otherwise prohibited by law, Mr. Flynn agrees to provide the Bank with prompt notice of the receipt thereof so that the Bank can have the opportunity to object to such disclosure or to obtain a protective order. 5. Mr. Flynn acknowledges and agrees that in the event that he materially breaches the promises set forth in this General and Special Release and/or any of the applicable provisions of the Agreement, and does not cure such breach after written notice thereof, Mr. Flynn shall have no right to the severance payments and benefits provided for under the Agreement. 6. Mr. Flynn has read this instrument, has had the opportunity of consulting with an attorney regarding it, and signs it voluntarily and with the intention of being bound by it. Mr. Flynn understands that he is waiving legal rights by signing this Release. 7. Mr. Flynn acknowledges that he has been given at least twenty-one (21) days within which to consider this Release. Mr. Flynn understands that he may revoke this Release upon written notice to the Bank within seven (7) days after execution of it and that this Release will not become effective or unenforceable until the eighth (8th) day after its execution.
