5. Subject to the foregoing, effective as of the Termination Date, Lessor, on the one hand, and Lessee on the other hand, expressly waive any and all rights conferred upon them by the provisions of California Civil Code Section 1542 and the provisions of any other applicable laws restricting the release of claims which the Lessor or Lessee does not know of or suspect to exist at the time of executing this Agreement, and expressly consents that this Agreement shall be given full force and effect according to each and all of its express terms and provisions.

Lessor and Lessee hereby understand and acknowledge the significance and consequences of such release and specific waiver of California Civil Code Section 1542 and each acknowledges having been advised by independent legal counsel concerning the same.
