other, or their respective current and former employees, representatives,
companies, corporations, business entities, officers, directors, shareholders,
partners, joint venturers, insurers, trustees, executors, creditors, agents,

and
each of them, but each Party nevertheless intends this release to be effective
as a full, general release.

of
the claims described herein. This Agreement has been executed with the express
intention of effectuating the full and final extinguishment of all such
