The performance of Employer's\nobligations  under Section 3.3 and the receipt of the severance benefit provided\nthereunder by Employee shall  constitute  full settlement of all such claims and\ncauses of action.

Nothing  contained  in this  Article 3 shall be\nconstrued to be a waiver by Employee of any benefits accrued for or due Employee\nunder any  employee  benefit  plan (as such term is  defined  in the  Employees'\nRetirement  Income  Security  Act of 1974,  as amended)  maintained  by Employer\nexcept that Employee shall not be entitled to any severance benefits pursuant to\nany severance plan or program of Employer.\n\n         3.5.  Termination  of the  employment  relationship  does not terminate\nthose  obligations  imposed by this Agreement which are continuing  obligations,\nincluding, without limitation, Employee's obligations under Article 4.\n\nARTICLE 4:  OWNERSHIP AND PROTECTION  OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY  AND CONFIDENTIAL\n            INFORMATION:\n\n         4.1.
