Each Loan Party understands, acknowledges and agrees that the release set forth above may be pleaded as a full and complete defense and may be used as a basis for an injunction against any action, suit or other proceeding which may be instituted, prosecuted or attempted in breach of the provisions of such release.

Each Loan Party, for itself and on behalf of its successors, assigns, and officers, directors, employees, agents and attorneys, and any Person acting for or on behalf of, or claiming through it, hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably, covenants and agrees with and in favor of each Releasee above that (i) none of the provisions of the above release shall be construed as or constitute an admission of any liability on the part of any Releasee; (ii) it will not 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 this Section 8; and (iii) any attempt to assert a Claim barred by the provisions of this Section 8 shall subject it to the provisions of applicable law setting forth the remedies for the bringing of groundless, frivolous or baseless claims or causes of action. Each Loan Party further agrees that it shall not dispute the validity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or any of its obligations thereunder, or the validity, priority, enforceability or the extent of Lender’s Lien on any item of Collateral under the Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents. If any Loan Party or any Person acting for or on behalf of, or claiming through it, violate the foregoing covenant, such Loan Party, agrees to pay, in addition to such other damages as any Releasee may sustain as a result of such violation, all attorneys’ fees and costs incurred by such Releasee as a result of such violation. In agreeing to the foregoing release, each Loan Party expressly disclaims any reliance on any representations or warranties, acts or omissions by any of the Releasees and hereby agrees and acknowledges that the validity and effectiveness of the above release do not depend in any way on any such representations or warranties, acts or omissions or the accuracy, completeness or validity thereof.
