The receipt by the Borrower or any other Credit Party of any Loans or other financial accommodations made by Agent or any Lender after the date hereof shall constitute a ratification, adoption, and confirmation by such party of the foregoing general release of all Claims against the Releasees that are based in whole or in part on facts, whether or not now known or unknown, existing on or prior to the date of receipt of any such Loans or other financial accommodations.
