<br />of claims. Each party agrees that the foregoing release shall be and remain
<br />effective in all respects notwithstanding such different or additional facts or law
<br />or any party's discovery thereof. The Parties shall not be entitled to any relief in

<br />claim to set aside or rescind this Agreement.

<br />any statement or presentation to the other regarding any fact relied upon in
<br />entering into this Agreement and the Parties, and each of them, expressly do not
<br />rely upon any statement, representation or promise of any other party or any
<br />party's agent or related entities in executing this Agreement, except as is
<br />expressly set forth herein. Each of the Parties has made such investigation of the
<br />facts and law pertaining to the subject matter of this Agreement as it deems
