§ 15-108. Release  or covenant not to sue. (a) Effect of release of or covenant not to sue tortfeasors. When a release or a covenant not to sue or not to enforce a judgment is given to one  of  two  or  more  persons liable  or claimed to be liable in tort for the same injury, or the same wrongful death, it does not discharge any of the other tortfeasors  from liability for the injury or wrongful death unless its terms expressly so provide,  but  it  reduces  the  claim of the releasor against the other tortfeasors to the extent of any amount stipulated by the release or the covenant, or in the amount of the consideration paid for it, or  in  the amount of the released tortfeasor's equitable share of the damages under article  fourteen  of the civil practice law and rules, whichever is the greatest.  (b) Release of tortfeasor. A  release  given  in  good  faith  by  the injured person to one tortfeasor as provided in subdivision (a) relieves him  from  liability to any other person for contribution as provided in article fourteen of the civil practice law and rules.  (c) Waiver of contribution. A tortfeasor  who  has  obtained  his  own release  from  liability  shall not be entitled to contribution from any other person.  (d) Releases and covenants within the scope of this section. A release or a covenant not to sue between a plaintiff or claimant  and  a  person who  is liable or claimed to be liable in tort shall be deemed a release or covenant for the purposes of this section only if:  (1) the plaintiff or claimant receives,  as  part  of  the  agreement, monetary consideration greater than one dollar;  (2) the release or covenant completely or substantially terminates the dispute between the plaintiff or claimant and the person who was claimed to be liable; and  (3) such release or covenant is provided prior to entry of judgment.

§ 17-103. Agreements  waiving  the statute of limitation. 1. A promise   to waive,  to  extend,  or  not  to  plead  the  statute  of  limitation   applicable  to an action arising out of a contract express or implied in   fact or in law, if made after the accrual of the  cause  of  action  and   made,  either  with or without consideration, in a writing signed by the   promisor or his agent is effective, according to its terms,  to  prevent   interposition  of  the defense of the statute of limitation in an action   or proceeding commenced within the time that would be applicable if  the   cause  of  action  had arisen at the date of the promise, or within such   shorter time as may be provided in the promise.2. A promise to waive, to extend, or  not  to  plead  the  statute  of   limitation  may be enforced as provided in this section by the person to   whom the promise is made or for whose benefit it is expressed to be made   or by any person who, after the making of the promise,  succeeds  or  is   subrogated to the interest of either of them.3.  A  promise  to  waive,  to  extend, or not to plead the statute of   limitation has no effect to extend  the  time  limited  by  statute  for   commencement  of  an action or proceeding for any greater time or in any   other manner than that provided in  this  section,  or  unless  made  as   provided in this section.4. This sectiona.  does not change the requirements or the effect with respect to the   statute of limitation, of an acknowledgment or  promise  to  pay,  or  a   payment  or part payment of principal or interest, or a stipulation made   in an action or proceeding;b. does not affect the power of the court to find that  by  reason  of   conduct  of  the  party to be charged it is inequitable to permit him to   interpose the defense of the statute of limitation; andc. does not apply in any respect to a cause of action to  foreclose  a   mortgage  of real property or a mortgage of a lease of real property, or   to a cause of action to recover a judgment affecting the title to or the   possession, use or enjoyment of real property, or a  promise  or  waiver   with respect to any statute of limitation applicable thereto.
