negotiations (the necessity for which shall be solely determined by Sprint), to be bound by Sycamore’s closeout submission as the final Exhibit between the parties with respect thereto.
In the event Sycamore fails to submit the required closeout information and documentation in a timely manner, such failure shall constitute Sycamore’s express agreement that the amounts paid to date by Sprint pursuant under this Exhibit, as determined by Sprint’s records, constitute the full, complete and final extent of Sprint’s financial obligation to Sycamore, that Sycamore does forever fully and finally remise, release, and discharge Sprint, its officers, agents and employees, of and from any and all liabilities, obligations, claims, and demands whatsoever arising under or relating to this Exhibit, and that Sycamore expressly authorizes Sprint to rely on the foregoing representations and release in connection with Sprint’s closeout of or other actions taken with respect to Sprints subcontract with SAIC.
