organizations acting on any of their behalves (collectively, the “Released Parties”), of and from any and all claims, allegations, causes of action, costs or demands and liabilities, of whatever kind or nature, from the beginning of
the world to the date on which this Amendment is executed, whether known or unknown, liquidated or unliquidated, fixed or contingent, asserted or unasserted, foreseen or unforeseen, matured or unmatured, suspected or unsuspected, anticipated or
unanticipated, which any Borrower or any Subsidiary has, had, claims to have or to have had or hereafter claims to have or have had against the Released Parties by reason of any act or omission on the part of the Released Parties, or any of them,
