Owner and JZ hereby waive all claims for incidental, consequential and punitive damages related to the Agreement.

    3. deliver to Owner a final Fee Invoice; and
    4. deliver to Owner final Owner Net Income (pro-rated if Fixed Fee Compensation structure), if any, as set forth on the Fee Invoice.
