Exclusions from General Release. Excluded from the General Release above are any claims or rights which cannot be waived by law, including my rights to accrued vacation, if any. Nothing in this Waiver and Release Agreement shall be construed to prohibit me from filing a charge with an administrative agency, including the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission or participating in an agency investigation. I am, however, waiving all rights to recover money or other individual relief in connection with any administrative charge, whether filed by me or another individual or entity.

General Restriction of Release. Except as set forth in Section 2.5.2, no repayment or prepayment of all or any portion of the Note shall cause, give rise to a right to require, or otherwise result in, the release of the Lien of any Mortgage, any Pledge Agreement, or of any other collateral security for the Loan.
