I hereby certify that the facts set forth in this application (and accompanying resume) are true and complete to the best

of my knowledge. I agree and understand that any misrepresentation of information or failure to disclose information

during the employment process may disqualify me from further consideration for employment and if employed, will

and I hereby consent to such search. I also understand that if employed, my employment is for an indefinite period of

time, that either Discovery or I may terminate my employment at will at any time, with or without cause or notice.

I hereby disclaim the existence of any contract of employment, either express or implied.

This Agreement contains and represents the entire agreement between Discovery and me concerning the topics

that this Agreement cannot be orally modified and that any subsequent modification of this Agreement including the

at-will state of employment I seek, must be in writing and duly executed by Discovery.
