(b) The Stockholder hereby acknowledges that the Stockholder is aware of the principle that a general release does not extend to claims that the releasor 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 releasee. With knowledge of this principle, the Stockholder hereby agrees to expressly waive any rights v may have to that effect.
