individual and official capacities, which SAIC had, has or may have through the
date SAIC executes this Agreement, whether known or unknown, arising out of or
relating to (i) SAIC’s ownership of capital stock of the Company, or of options,
warrants, rights or other securities or instruments exercisable or exchangeable
for or convertible into shares of the capital stock of the Company, or the sale
and assignment of such capital stock or other securities to the Company pursuant
to this Agreement, or (ii) any notes, indebtedness, obligations, liabilities of
the Company. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed as a waiver
or relinquishment of any right that SAI Corporation may have in any stock,
options or warrants that currently exist and that are held by SAI Corporation,
the terms of which are in full force and effect and shall not be modified
hereby. In the event anyone claiming to be released hereby files any

executes this Agreement, whether known or unknown, arising out of or relating
to: (i) SAIC’s ownership of capital stock of the Company, or of
options, warrants, rights or other securities or instruments exercisable or
exchangeable for or convertible into shares of the capital stock of the Company,
