This Agreement includes, in each such case, all claims in respect of death, personal injury, illness, property damage, loss, financial obligation, or expenses, and in each case regardless of the cause or whether such claims arise from tort, contract or otherwise, and even if caused by negligence, whether passive or active. I agree not to sue any of the Released Parties on the basis of these waived and released claims.
