Each Releasing Party acknowledges that they are familiar with Section 1542 of the Civil Code of the State of California which provides as follows:
A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him or her must have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor.

This foregoing release shall be and remain in effect notwithstanding the discovery or existence of any such additional or different facts.
(e) Each Releasing Party warrants and represents that it is the sole and lawful owner of all right, title and interest in and to all of the respective Released Claims released hereby and that it has not heretofore voluntarily, by operation of law or otherwise, assigned or transferred or purported to assign or transfer to any person or entity any such claim or any portion thereof.
(f) This release is not to be construed and does not constitute an admission of liability on the part of Agent or Lenders. This release shall constitute an absolute bar to any Released Claim of any kind, whether such claim is based on contract, tort, warranty, mistake or any other theory, whether legal, statutory or equitable. The Releasing Parties specifically agree that any
attempt to assert a claim barred hereby shall subject each of them to the provisions of applicable law setting forth the remedies for the bringing of groundless, frivolous or baseless claims or causes of action.
