Shares Issued Subject to Voting Agreement. Moriah acknowledges that the shares of Common Stock issued as a result of the exercise of any portion of the New Warrant, or issued as a result of the conversion of all or any portion of the principal of or interest accrued under the Promissory Note in accordance with the terms of the Note Conversion Agreement, will be subject to the terms of the Voting Agreement, the form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit D.

Moriah agrees, at no charge to InterMetro, to cooperate with InterMetro and TAB with respect to the release of security currently held by Moriah, and specifically, to cause the Lockbox Bank to promptly re-direct all payments received by it pursuant to the terms of the Lockbox Agreements as set forth in Section 5(b) above. In the event that InterMetro believes that any payments by its customers were made to the Lockbox Bank and were not re-directed as provided above, then InterMetro shall provide written notice describing such payments to Moriah. Moriah shall promptly investigate the claim with the Lockbox Bank and shall, within three (3) business days following receipt of such written notice, provide a response to InterMetro with information relating to the deposit and the re-direction or forwarding of such payment in accordance with the above instructions.

|
Release of Moriah; No Representations.
|
|
|
(a)
|
In consideration of the agreements contained herein, InterMetro hereby releases Moriah, its affiliates and their respective officers, directors, members, partners, shareholders, affiliates, attorneys, representatives and employees from any and all claims, suits, damages, costs or liabilities of any nature arising in whole or in part under or in connection with the Loan Documents or this Agreement, or the transactions contemplated thereby or hereby, including, without limitation, any such claims, suits, damages, costs or liabilities arising out of or relating to a claim of breach of contract, fraud, liability or misconduct, breach of fiduciary duty, usury, unfair bargaining position, unconscionably, violation of law, negligence, error or omission in accounting or calculations, misappropriation of funds, tortious conduct or reckless or willful misconduct, whether known or unknown. The foregoing release shall not be applicable to Moriah’s obligations under this Agreement, the New Warrant, the Voting Agreement or the Note Conversion Agreement.
|
|
|
In giving the releases set forth in this Section 7, which includes claims that may be unknown at present, InterMetro acknowledges that it has read and understands Section 1542 of the California Civil Code which reads as follows: “A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.” Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 1542 of the California Civil Code, InterMetro expressly waives and relinquishes all rights and benefits under that section and any law of any other jurisdiction of similar effect with respect to its release of any unknown or unsuspected claims that InterMetro may have against Moriah. The parties acknowledge and agree that the inclusion of a release of “unknown” claims in this Section was separately bargained for and was a key element of this Agreement.
|
|
|
(b)
|
Moriah makes no representations, warranties, agreements or statements to TAB or any other person or entity concerning InterMetro, InterMetro's business, financial condition, creditworthiness, prospects or any other matter relating to InterMetro or Moriah's transactions with InterMetro.
|

|
(c)
|
InterMetro makes no representations, warrants, agreements or statements to Moriah concerning InterMetro’s business, financial condition, creditworthiness, the value of its securities, or any other matter relating to InterMetro, except as expressly set forth in this Agreement or any other agreement between InterMetro and Moriah.
