For avoidance of doubt, the Releasor does not release Releasees from any obligations arising by virtue of the Renewal Franchise Agreement and any claims arising from the Releasees' failure to comply with those obligations or the Franchise Disclosure Document furnished to Franchisee as part of entering into the Renewal Franchise Agreement and the franchise laws that apply to the specific offer, sale and signing of the Renewal Franchise Agreement.
