33. No Agency. Each party represents and warrants that it is an independent contractor with no authority to contract for the other party or in any way to bind or to commit the other party to any agreement of any kind or to assume any liabilities of any nature in the name or on behalf of the other party. Under no circumstances will either party, or any of its employees, hold itself out as or be considered an agent, employee, partner or joint venturer of the other party.
34. No Waiver. The failure of any party to require performance by another party of any provision of this Agreement shall in no way affect the full right to require such performance at any time thereafter. All rights or remedies of a party specified in this Agreement and all other rights or remedies that either party may have at law, in equity or otherwise shall be distinct, separate and cumulative rights or remedies, and no one of them, whether exercised by the party seeking enforcement or not, shall be deemed to be in exclusion of any other right or remedy of such party.
35. Amendment and Restatement of the 2019 IDA.
(a) Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that this Agreement amends, restates and supersedes the 2019 IDA, which is superseded and of no further force or effect except as provided in Section 4(c).
(b) These Sections 35(b) through 35(h) constitute a “Release” between the two “Parties.” One “Party” is the Depository Institutions; the other “Party” is Schwab and the Broker-Dealers. The “Related Parties” of each Party shall include all that Party’s respective present, future or former parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, predecessors and successors, and each of the directors, officers, insurers, trustees, attorneys, beneficiaries, employees, agents, or representatives of any of the foregoing.
(c) Each Party, on behalf of itself and its respective Related Parties (each, a “Releasor”), hereby forever, fully, and finally releases and discharges each and every other Party and its respective Related Parties (each, a “Releasee”) from any and all actions, causes of action in law or in equity, suits, liens, debts, dues, fees, premiums, sums of money, demands, obligations, damages, punitive damages, losses, costs or expenses, and attorney’s fees of any nature whatsoever, including without limitation any claims based on breach of contract, reformation, mistake, fraud, fraudulent inducement, misrepresentation, unjust enrichment, rescission, indemnity, contribution or other legal duty, legal fault, offense, quasi-offense, or any other theory, whether direct or derivative, arising on or before the date hereof under, out of, or related in any way, in whole or in part, to the 2019 IDA; excepting, however, indemnity claims based on claims asserted against any Releasor by a third-party that is unaffiliated with that Releasor. Each Party represents and warrants that as of the Effective Date of this Release it is not aware of any threatened or pending third-party claim that may give rise to an indemnity claim.
(d) Upon the date of this Agreement, this Release and the releases reflected herein shall be effective as a full and final accord and satisfaction and release of all the claims released herein.
