Real Estate purchase agreeement

One of the stockholders resigned in 2003. signed his stocks back to the corporation, and signed a simple one page separation agreement that will release any and all claims between both parties. all issues held in his name to be released. Would the purchase agreement still be in force for the shareholder who resigned?

Re: Real Estate purchase agreeement
If the purchase agreement was signed on behalf of the corporation, it should not be affected by the resignation of a shareholder. If it was properly executed by the officers of the corporation, the former shareholder would not be personally responsible, since it a corporate contract.
