Plaintiffs acknowledge and agree that Defendants have made no representations <br />regarding the tax consequences of any amounts received pursuant to this Agreement. Plaintiffs <br />agree that they and they alone are liable for all taxes, if any, which are owed by Plaintiffs on <br />any amount received hereunder including interest and penalties. Plaintiffs will hold Defendants <br />harmless from any and all claims made by federal, state, or local taxing authorities or lien holders <br />against Plaintiffs on amounts owed by them. <br />6.

The Parties hereto hereby agree that all rights under Section 1542 of the Civil <br />Code of the State of California are hereby waived. Civil Code Section 1542 states: <br />"A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know <br />or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release, which <br />if known by him or her must have materially affected his or her settlement with <br />the debtor." <br />8. Notwithstanding the provisions of Civil Code Section 1542, each party hereby <br />irrevocably and unconditionally releases and forever discharges each other party and each and all <br />of its officers, agents, directors, supervisors, employees, representatives, and its successors and <br />assigns and all persons acting by, through, under, or in concert with each other party from any and <br />all charges, complaints, claims and liabilities of any kind or nature whatsoever, known or unknown, <br />suspected or unsuspected (hereinafter referred to as "claim" or "claims") which each releasing party <br />at any time heretofore had or claimed to have or which each releasing party at any time hereafter <br />may have or claim to have, incidental to the incident(s) which form the basis of the Actions. <br />9. Each person signing below represents that he/she has reviewed all aspects of this <br />Agreement, that the Agreement has been carefully read and fully explained to them and that they <br />understand every provision of this Agreement, that they understand that in agreeing to this <br />document they are releasing each party hereto from any and all claims they may have against each <br />party released, that they voluntarily agree to all the terms set forth in this Agreement, that they <br />knowingly and willingly intend to be legally bound by the same, that they were given the <br />opportunity to consider the terms of this Agreement and discussed them with legal counsel. Each <br />party hereby warrants that they have the authority to enter into this Agreement and bind the party <br />for whose benefit they execute this Agreement. <br />Page 2 of 5 <br />
