WHEREAS, the Parties believe that the terms of this Agreement are fair, equitable, and the result of an arm’s length, bargained-for, contemporaneous exchange for new value.

Settlement Agreement and Mutual General Release

through or in concert with any of them, hereby generally release and forever discharge each other and their respective past and present parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, directors, agents, servants, professional corporations, employees, heirs, executors, representatives, investors, shareholders, attorneys, predecessors, successors, assigns, sureties, insurers, excess insurers, reinsurers, principals, managing members, trustees, beneficiaries, unit holders, limited and general partners, and all persons acting through or in concert with any of them, if any, from any and all claims, losses, debts, liabilities, demands, obligations, rights, disputes, fees, controversies, costs, expenses, damages, actions and causes of action whatsoever, in law or equity, whether known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, fixed or contingent, existing as of the date of this Agreement and accrued or hereafter accruing from any cause whatsoever, including, but not limited to, any and all claims, demands and allegations, made, or which could have been made, arising out of or relating to the Creditor Claims (collectively, the “Released Claims”).

Waiver of Unknown Claims. The Parties are aware that they may have claims of which they have no present knowledge or suspicion. Having taken into account such a possibility in entering into this Agreement, the mutual general release set forth in Section 3 of this Agreement shall constitute full and final release by the Parties of any unknown claim or claims and expressly waives any right or claim of right to assert hereafter that any claim has, through oversight or error, been omitted from the Creditor Claims. Accordingly, the Parties expressly waive any rights or benefits which they otherwise might have under California Civil Code Section 1542, and any other statutory or nonstatutory law of any jurisdiction that is similar in wording, import, or effect to California Civil Code Section 1542. California Civil Code Section 1542 provides as follows:

A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS TO 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.

In connection with such waiver and relinquishment, the Parties acknowledge that they are aware that they or their attorneys, accountants, or agents may hereafter discover claims or facts in addition to or different from those which they now know or believe to exist with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement, but nonetheless, they intend hereby fully, finally, and forever to settle and release all matters being released herein, whether known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, which now exist or may heretofore have existed. In furtherance of the intentions of the Parties, the mutual general release given in Section 3 of this Agreement by the Parties shall be and remain in effect as a full and complete mutual general release notwithstanding the discovery or existence of any additional or different claims or facts or the failure of any consideration or promises between or among the Parties.

Limitation on Release. The Parties hereby expressly acknowledge that no Party to this Agreement is, by this Agreement, releasing any cause of action, claim, set-off, or defense that arises from the terms of this Agreement, or the breach of such terms.
