In furtherance of the foregoing, each of the releasing parties irrevocably covenants to refrain from, directly or indirectly, asserting any Claims, or commencing, instituting or causing to be commenced, any proceeding of any kind against any of the Employer Parties with respect to any of the matters within the scope of the foregoing release.
