Unknown Claims. Executive acknowledges that Executive has been advised to consult with legal counsel and is familiar with the provisions of California Civil Code Section 1542, a statute that otherwise prohibits the release of unknown claims, which provides as follows:

Unknown Claims.

Employee, being aware of said principle, agrees to expressly waive any rights Employee may have to that effect, as well as under any other statute or common law principles of similar effect, unless excluded from the release above.

Employee, being aware of this principle, agrees to expressly waive any rights Employee may have to that effect, as well as under any other statute or common law principles of similar effect.

Unknown Claims. The Parties expressly acknowledge and agree that the release provided for in [Section 4.1] extends to and fully and finally releases and forever resolves the Litigation and all matters covered by the releases that are known or unknown, anticipated or unanticipated, suspected or unsuspected, that have arisen or that may hereafter arise as a result of the discovery of new and/or additional facts. The Parties, having made independent investigation to their satisfaction, acknowledge and understand the significance and potential consequences of their release of unknown claims. The Parties intend that the claims released under this Agreement be construed as broadly as possible and agree to waive and relinquish all rights and benefits each may have under Section 1542 of the Civil Code of the State of California, or any similar statute or law of any other jurisdiction. [Section 1542] reads as follows: “A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR OR RELEASING PARTY DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE AND THAT, IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER, WOULD HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR OR THE RELEASED PARTY.”

Employee, being aware of said principle, agrees to expressly waive any rights Employee may have to that effect, as well as under any other statute or common law principles of similar effect.

In waiving and releasing any and all claims, subject to and without waiving any rights identified in Section 1(c), against the Releasees, whether or not now known to Executive, Executive understands that this means that, if Executive later discovers facts different from or in addition to those facts currently known by Executive, or believed by Executive to be true, the waivers and releases of this Release shall remain effective in all respects -- despite such different or additional facts and Executive’s later discovery of such facts, even if Executive would not have agreed to this Release if Executive had prior knowledge of such facts.
