Section 4.04. Scope of Release and Discharge.

It is nonetheless the intent of the parties hereto to give a full and complete release and discharge of the Released Claims, whether known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, contingent or non-contingent, accrued or unaccrued, whether or not concealed or hidden, which now exist, or heretofore have existed upon any theory of law or equity now existing or coming into existence in the future.
