NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants herein contained, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows:

 

1. Waiver of Known Existing Default.

 

(a) Borrowers acknowledge and agree that the Known Existing Default has occurred and is continuing.

 

(b) Bank hereby waives enforcement of its respective rights against Borrowers arising from the Known Existing Default; provided, however, nothing herein shall be deemed a waiver with respect to any other or future failure of Borrower to comply fully with Section 6.8(b) of the Loan Agreement. This waiver shall be effective only for the specific defaults comprising the Known Existing Default, and in no event shall this waiver be deemed to be a waiver of enforcement of any of Bank’s rights with respect to any other Events of Default now existing or hereafter arising.

3. Release; Covenant Not to Sue.

 

(a) Each Borrower hereby absolutely and unconditionally releases and forever discharges Bank, and any and all of their respective participants, parent corporations, subsidiary corporations, affiliated corporations, insurers, indemnitors, successors and assigns thereof, together with all of the present and former directors, officers, agents and employees of any of the foregoing (each a “Released Party”), from any and all claims, demands or causes of action of any kind, nature or description, whether arising in law or equity or upon contract or tort or under any state or federal law or otherwise, which any Borrower has had, now has or has made claim to have against any such person for or by reason of any act, omission, matter, cause or thing whatsoever arising from the beginning of time to and including the date of this Waiver, whether such claims, demands and causes of action are matured or unmatured or known or unknown.

Each Borrower 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.

 

(b) Each Borrower, on behalf of itself and its successors, assigns, and other legal representatives, hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably, covenants and agrees with and in favor of each Released Party above that it will not sue (at law, in equity, in any regulatory proceeding or otherwise) any Released Party on the basis of any claim released, remised and discharged by any Borrower pursuant to the above release. If any Borrower or any of its successors, assigns or other legal representatives violates the foregoing covenant, such Borrower, for itself and its successors, assigns and legal representatives, agrees to pay, in addition to such other damages as any Released Party may sustain as a result of such violation, all attorneys’ fees and costs incurred by such Released Party as a result of such violation.
