(ii) With regard to Section 1542 of the California Civil Code, Borrower agrees to assume the risk of any and all unknown, unanticipated or misunderstood defenses and Released Claims which are released by the provisions of this General Release in favor of Trade Bank, and Borrower hereby waives and releases all rights and benefits which it might otherwise have under Section 1542 of the California Civil Code with regard to the release of such unknown, unanticipated or misunderstood defenses and Released Claims.

(c) Each person signing below on behalf of Borrower acknowledges that he or she has read each of the provisions of this General Release.

Borrower hereby acknowledges that it has had an opportunity to obtain a lawyer's advice concerning the legal consequences of each of the provisions of this General Release.

(d) Borrower hereby specifically acknowledges and agrees that: (i) none of the provisions of this General Release shall be construed as or constitute an admission of any liability on the part of Trade Bank; (ii) the provisions of this General Release shall constitute an absolute bar to any Released Claim of any kind, whether any such Released Claim is based on contract, tort, warranty, mistake or any other theory, whether legal, statutory or equitable; and (iii) any attempt to assert a Released Claim barred by the provisions of this General Release shall subject Borrower to the provisions of applicable law setting forth the remedies for the bringing of groundless, frivolous or baseless claims or causes of action.

All terms defined in the Credit Agreement shall have the same meaning when used in this Amendment. This Amendment and the Credit Agreement shall be read together, as one document. This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when executed and delivered shall be deemed to be an original, and all of which when taken together shall constitute one and the same Amendment.

7. Reaffirmation; Certification. Borrower hereby remakes all representations and warranties contained in the Credit Agreement and reaffirms all covenants set forth therein.
