As to each and every Claim released hereunder, each Loan Party expressly waives all rights afforded by Section 1542 of the Civil Code of the State of California (“Section 1542”) and any similar statute or regulation in any other applicable jurisdiction (including the State of New York). Section 1542 states as follows:
4
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.
13. Severability. In case any provision in this Fourth Amendment shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, such provision shall be severable from the remainder of this Fourth Amendment and the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.
