of the RETRIEVERS GROUP to discuss a potential settlement of all disputes among
the parties, and the parties have reached an agreement for the terms of a
resolution of the Lawsuit on the terms and conditions set forth
below.

as a result of their joint and/or several business and/or other relationships,
actual and/or proposed/discussed, involving RETRIEVERS, the Kingston Mill, the
claims asserted in the Lawsuit, other business proposals and/or potential
ventures, or otherwise, all on the terms and conditions expressed in this
