A reduction never can exceed the amount ▇▇▇▇▇▇ recovers, or the consideration ▇▇▇▇▇▇ received for signing this release, whichever is less. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ also recognizes that the Releasees may be entitled to recover costs and attorneys’ fees incurred by it as specifically authorized under applicable law. (c) ▇▇▇▇▇▇ represents and warrants that he has filed no claims, lawsuits, charges, grievances, or causes of action of any kind against any of the Releasees and that, to the best of his knowledge, he possesses no such claims. (d) ▇▇▇▇▇▇ acknowledges and agrees that, by virtue of the Company’s promises, representations and warranties as set forth in this Agreement, he has received fair economic value for any and all potential claims or causes of action he may have against the Releasees, and that he is not entitled to any other damages or relief.
