<br />3. Each Party understands that it may later discover claims or facts that may be different from,
<br />or in addition, to those that it now knows or believes to exist regarding the subject matter
<br />of the release and which, if known at the time of signing this Release, may have materially
<br />affected this Release and such Party's decision to enter into it and grant the Release.
<br />Nevertheless, the Parties intend to fully, finally, and forever settle and release all claims
<br />that now exist, may exist, or previously existed, whether known or unknown, foreseen or
<br />unforeseen, or suspected or unsuspected, and the release given herein is and will remain in
<br />effect as a complete release, notwithstanding the discovery or existence of such additional
<br />or different facts. The Parties hereby waive any right or claim that might arise as a result
<br />of such different or additional claims or facts. The Parties have been made aware of, and
<br />understand, the provisions of California Civil Code Section 1542 ("Section 1542"), which
<br />provides:
<br />"A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS THAT
<br />THE CREDITOR OR RELEASING PARTY DOES NOT KNOW OR
<br />SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF
<br />EXECUTING THE RELEASE AND THAT, IF I{NOWN BY HIM OR
<br />HER, WOULD HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER
<br />SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR OR RELEASED PARTY."
<br />The Parties expressly, knowingly, and intentionally waive any and all rights, benefits, and
<br />protections of Section 1542 and of any other state or federal statute or common law
<br />principle limiting the scope of a general release.
<br />4. The Parties acknowledge this a general release, and represent and warrant that no other
<br />person or entity has, or has had, any interest in the claims, demands, or obligations set forth
