The Releasing Parties shall not commence, join in, or in any manner support or seek relief through any suit, action, complaint, charge or claim arising out of, based upon, or relating to any Released Claim.

 

4. The Releasing Parties, in return for the consideration provided in this Letter Agreement, agree to indemnify, forever hold harmless, and defend (with counsel selected by the Released Parties and the Released Parties retaining the sole right to direct and control the litigation) the Released Parties against any and all loss, cost, expense, claims, cross-claims, cross-actions, liability, liens, suits, demands, damages, or costs of defense (including attorney’s fees and expenses), direct or indirect, whether presently known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, asserted or unasserted, liquidated or unliquidated, fixed or contingent, accrued or unaccrued, of whatever kind or nature, in law or in equity, in any way arising out of or relating to a Releasing Party’s violation of this Letter Agreement, including, but not limited to, a violation of Section 2 or Section 3 above.
