Waiver of California Civil Code Section 1542 To give the full and complete general release as described in paragraph 3 above, Executive expressly waives and relinquishes all rights and benefits of Section 1542 of the Civil Code of the State of California, or any other similar, comparable, or equivalent law in any state or jurisdiction, and Executive does so understanding and acknowledging the significance and consequence of specifically waiving Section 1542.

Executive represents and warrants that Executive has read this Agreement, including this waiver of California Civil Code Section 1542, and that he has consulted with an attorney about this Agreement, and specifically about the waiver of Section 1542, or has freely chosen to not consult with an attorney, and that Executive understands this Agreement and the Section 1542 waiver, and so Executive freely and knowingly enters into this Agreement. Executive acknowledges that he may later discover facts different from or in addition to those Executive now knows or believes to be true regarding the matters released or described in this Agreement, and even so, Executive agrees that the releases and agreements contained in this Agreement will remain effective in all respects notwithstanding any later discovery of any different or additional facts. Executive assumes any and all risk of any mistake in connection with the true facts involved in the matters, disputes, or controversies released or described in this Agreement or with regard to any facts now unknown to Executive.
