releases and absolutely and forever discharges Lender and its present and former

respective heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns, from any and
all liabilities, claims, demands, damages, action and causes of action, whether

or has had prior to the date hereof, or that may hereafter arise with respect to
acts, omissions or events occurring prior to the date hereof. To the best of

both, would constitute a default under this Agreement, the RLC Note or the Loan
Agreement.

Agreement. Accordingly, no express or implied consent to any further
modifications involving any of the matters set forth in this Agreement or

written approval of Lender; no such approval (either express or implied) has
been given as of the date hereof.
