b. The Joining Party acknowledges that the laws of many jurisdictions provide substantially the following: “A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS THAT 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 RELEASED PARTY.” The Joining Party acknowledges that such provisions are designed to protect a party from waiving claims which such party does not know exist or may exist, and, nonetheless, the Joining Party agrees that, effective as of the date hereof, the Joining Party shall waive any such provision.

5. The Parties are intended third party beneficiaries of this Joinder Agreement and shall be entitled to enforce this Joinder Agreement against the Joining Party in accordance with its terms.

7. This Joinder Agreement shall terminate and be of no force or effect upon termination of the BIBCA.
