Civil Code Section 1542, which provides as follows:

SEC. 1542. GENERAL RELEASE. A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.

Each Borrower and each other Loan Party (by its execution and delivery of the attached Consent and Reaffirmation) hereby expressly waives the provisions of California Civil Code Section 1542, and any rights they may have to invoke the provisions of that statute now or in the future with respect to the Claims being released pursuant to this Section 8.

The release given herein shall remain in effect as a full and complete general release, notwithstanding the discovery or existence of any such additional or different claims or facts.

(c)Each Borrower and each other Loan Party (by its execution and delivery of the attached Consent and Reaffirmation) understands, acknowledges and agrees that the release set forth above may be pleaded as a full and complete defense and may be used as a basis for an injunction against any action, suit or other proceeding which may be instituted, prosecuted or attempted in breach of the provisions of such release.

(d)Each Borrower and each other Loan Party (by its execution and delivery of the attached Consent and Reaffirmation) agrees that no fact, event, circumstance, evidence or transaction which could now be asserted or which may hereafter be discovered shall affect in any manner the final, absolute and unconditional nature of the release set forth above.
