DEBTOR.”

     

    (b) As to

release.

     

    (d) Borrower,
for itself and on behalf of its successors, assigns, and officers, directors,

sue (at law, in equity, in any regulatory proceeding or otherwise) any Releasee
on the basis of any claim released, remised and discharged by such Person
pursuant to the above release.  Borrower further agrees that it shall
not dispute the validity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement or any of the
