          7.3 Agreement Obligations Not Released. The Releases are not intended to release any of the

instrument designated as an amendment to this Agreement and executed by the Parties hereto or their
respective successors, heirs or assigns.

          7.5 Names and Trademarks. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as
conferring any rights to use in advertising, publicity, or other marketing activities any name,
trademark, or other designation of either Party hereto, including any contraction, abbreviation, or
simulation of any of the foregoing, and each Party hereto agrees not to use the existence of this
Agreement in any marketing activity, whether public or private.

property as defined under Section 101 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, as amended. The Parties agree
