Renunciation by a creditor of his right to obtain performance of an obligation from a solidary debtor does not release the latter from his obligation to make contributions. Nevertheless the creditor can release him from his obligation to make contributions to a co-debtor by obliging himself towards the latter to reduce his claim by the amount which could have been claimed as contribution.
