3. This Agreement integrates and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements, undertakings, covenants, or
conditions (including all prior non-competition agreements entered by me and Many Rivers), whether oral or
written, express or implied, to the extent they modify, contradict, or conflict with the provisions hereof.

4. Any dispute arising under or related to this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the state of Washington,

deed;

B. No oral representations, statements, or inducements, apart from the foregoing written agreement, have been
