contingent, foreseen or unforeseen, and whether or not heretofore asserted arising out of, arising under or related to the Loan Documents (collectively, the “Claims”), that Releasors may have or allege to have against any or all of the Lender Group and that arise from events occurring before the date hereof.
(b) The Releasors agree not to xxx any of the Lender Group nor in any way assist any other person or entity in suing the Lender Group with respect to any of the Claims released herein. The Release Provision may be pleaded as a full and complete defense to, and may be used as the basis for an injunction against, any action, suit, or other proceeding which may be instituted, prosecuted, or attempted in breach of the release contained herein.
(c) The Releasors acknowledge, warrant, and represent to Lender Group that:
(i) The Releasors have read and understand the effect of the Release Provision.

(d) The Releasors understand that the Release Provision was a material consideration in the agreement of the Administrative Agent, Swingline Lender, Issuing Lender and each Lender to enter into this Amendment.
(e) It is the express intent of the Releasors that the release and discharge set forth in the Release Provision be construed as broadly as possible in favor of Lender Group so as to foreclose forever the assertion by the Releasors of any Claims released hereby against Lender Group.
(f) If any term, provision, covenant, or condition of the Release Provision is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the remainder of the provisions shall remain in full force and effect.
(g) The Releasors acknowledge that they may hereafter discover facts in addition to or different from those that they now know or believe with respect to the Claims released herein, but the Releasors expressly shall have and intend to fully, finally and forever have
released and discharged any and all such Claims.

The signature of such Person thereon, for purposes hereof, is to be considered as an original signature, and the counterpart (or signature page thereto) so transmitted is to be considered to have the same binding effect as an original signature on an original document.
19. GOVERNING LAW.
