Your Release of Claims You hereby agree and acknowledge that, by signing this Agreement and accepting the Severance Pay, and for other good and valuable consideration, you are waiving your right to assert any and all forms of legal claims against the Company1 of any kind whatsoever, whether known or unknown, arising from the beginning of time through the date you execute this Agreement (the “Execution Date”). You acknowledge that as of Execution Date, you have not filed any complaints, claims, charges, actions, grievances or arbitrations against the Company or otherwise contacted any U.S. federal, state or local governmental agency or commission that has applicable jurisdiction to regulate the Company (each a “Government Agency”) regarding the Company, except to the extent you (i) have already informed the Company in writing prior to the Execution Date, or (ii) are permitted by law to opt against such disclosure; and further, you are not aware of any unlawful conduct in relation to the business of the Company, except to the extent you have already informed the Company in writing prior to the Execution Date. Except as set forth below, your waiver and release herein is intended to bar any form of legal claim, complaint or any other form of action (jointly referred to as “Claims”) against the Company seeking any form of relief including, without limitation, equitable relief (whether declaratory, injunctive or otherwise), the recovery of any damages, or any other form of monetary recovery whatsoever (including, without limitation, back pay, front pay, compensatory damages, emotional distress damages, punitive damages, attorneys’ fees and any other costs) against the Company, for any alleged action, inaction or circumstance existing or arising through the Execution Date. 1 For purposes of this Agreement, the Company includes Sera Prognostics, Inc. and any of its divisions, affiliates (which means all persons and entities directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by or under common control with the Company), parents, subsidiaries and all other related entities, and its and their former and current directors, officers, employees, trustees, agents, successors and assigns.
Mortgage Releases The terms of the related Mortgage or related Mortgage Loan documents do not provide for release of any material portion of the Mortgaged Property from the lien of the Mortgage except (a) a partial release, accompanied by principal repayment, or partial defeasance (as described in paragraph 34) of not less than a specified percentage at least equal to 110% of the related allocated loan amount of such portion of the Mortgaged Property, (b) upon payment in full of such Mortgage Loan, (c) upon a Defeasance (defined in paragraph 34 below), (d) releases of out-parcels that are unimproved or other portions of the Mortgaged Property which will not have a material adverse effect on the underwritten value of the Mortgaged Property and which were not afforded any value in the appraisal obtained at the origination of the Mortgage Loan and are not necessary for physical access to the Mortgaged Property or compliance with zoning requirements, or (e) as required pursuant to an order of condemnation. With respect to any partial release under the preceding clauses (a) or (d), either: (x) such release of collateral (i) would not constitute a “significant modification” of the subject Mortgage Loan within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b)(2) and (ii) would not cause the subject Mortgage Loan to fail to be a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3)(A) of the Code; or (y) the mortgagee or servicer can, in accordance with the related Mortgage Loan documents, condition such release of collateral on the related Mortgagor’s delivery of an opinion of tax counsel to the effect specified in the immediately preceding clause (x). For purposes of the preceding clause (x), if the fair market value of the real property constituting such Mortgaged Property after the release is not equal to at least 80% of the principal balance of the Mortgage Loan (together with any related Pari Passu Companion Loans) outstanding after the release, the Mortgagor is required to make a payment of principal in an amount not less than the amount required by the REMIC Provisions. Exh. C-12 In the case of any Mortgage Loan, in the event of a taking of any portion of a Mortgaged Property by a State or any political subdivision or authority thereof, whether by legal proceeding or by agreement, the Mortgagor can be required to pay down the principal balance of the Mortgage Loan (together with any related Pari Passu Companion Loans) in an amount not less than the amount required by the REMIC Provisions and, to such extent, the award from any such taking may not be required to be applied to the restoration of the Mortgaged Property or released to the Borrower, if, immediately after the release of such portion of the Mortgaged Property from the lien of the Mortgage (but taking into account the planned restoration) the fair market value of the real property constituting the remaining Mortgaged Property is not equal to at least 80% of the remaining principal balance of the Mortgage Loan (together with any related Pari Passu Companion Loans). No such Mortgage Loan that is secured by more than one Mortgaged Property or that is cross-collateralized with another Mortgage Loan permits the release of cross-collateralization of the related Mortgaged Properties or a portion thereof, including due to a partial condemnation, other than in compliance with the REMIC Provisions.
Releases of Liens Upon any release, sale or disposition of Senior Collateral permitted pursuant to the terms of the Senior Documents (excluding any sale or other disposition that is not conducted in a commercially reasonable manner (as if it were being conducted by a secured creditor in accordance with the Uniform Commercial Code of the applicable jurisdiction) or is expressly prohibited by the Junior Documents as in effect on the date hereof (unless such sale or disposition is consummated in connection with an Enforcement Action or consummated after the institution of any Insolvency Proceeding)) that results in the release of the Senior Lien on any Senior Collateral, the Junior Lien on such Senior Collateral (excluding any portion of the Proceeds of such Senior Collateral remaining after the Senior Obligations Payment Date occurs) shall be automatically and unconditionally released (other than any release on the Proceeds thereof (which Proceeds shall be subject to the priorities set forth in Section 2.1 and shall be applied in accordance with Section 4.1)) with no further consent or action of any Person; provided that, other than with respect to an aggregate amount not in excess of $5,000,000 for all Enforcement Actions taken so long as this Agreement is in effect, no such release shall occur without the consent of the Junior Representative in the case of any Enforcement Action as to Collateral the net cash Proceeds of the sale or disposition of which has not been applied to repay (and, in the case of revolving loans (including swingline loans), to permanently reduce commitments with respect to) the Senior Obligations. The Junior Representative shall promptly execute and deliver such release documents and instruments and shall take such further actions as the Senior Representative shall request to evidence any release of the Junior Lien described in this Section 4.2. The Junior Representative hereby appoints the Senior Representative and any officer or duly authorized person of the Senior Representative, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power of attorney in the place and stead of the Junior Representative and in the name of the Junior Representative or in the Senior Representative’s own name, from time to time, in the Senior Representative’s sole discretion, for the purposes of carrying out the terms of this Section 4.2, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute and deliver any and all documents and instruments as may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Section 4.2, including, without limitation, any financing statements, endorsements, assignments, releases or other documents or instruments of transfer (which appointment, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable). In any sale or other disposition of any of the Collateral by the Senior Representative, the Senior Representative shall conduct such sale or other disposition in a commercially reasonable manner. The Senior Representative acknowledges and agrees that it is the Senior Representative’s intention that, during the time it is conducting any sale, disposition or Enforcement Action, the Senior Representative will use reasonable efforts to regularly advise the Junior Representative of the status of any sale, disposition or Enforcement Action, and to consult with the Junior Representative from time to time with respect to the various options available to the Senior Representative with respect to any such sale, disposition or Enforcement Action of the Collateral and any and all offers which may be made from time to time by prospective purchasers of the Collateral. Failure of the Senior Representative to so advise or consult the Junior Representative shall not, by itself, deem any action taken by the Senior Representative to be unreasonable. To the extent that the Senior Secured Parties (i) have released any Lien on the Collateral and any such Lien is later reinstated or (ii) obtain any new first priority Liens, then the Junior Secured Parties shall be at the time of such reinstatement granted a second priority Lien on any such Collateral consistent with the arrangements in effect on the date hereof and subject to the terms and conditions hereof.
