Contracts — Torts — Employment agreements — Motion to dismiss counts alleging negligent misrepresentations and fraudulent inducement to enter into employment agreement and civil conspiracy — Merger/integration clause that does not contain any “non-reliance” stipulation does not protect former employer against claim for fraudulent inducement based on oral misrepresentations — Independent tort — Because each of alleged misrepresentations that induced plaintiff to enter into employment agreement involve compensation, which is a subject expressly dealt with in agreement, claims for fraudulent inducement, negligent misrepresentation, and civil conspiracy are dismissed
