Agrees that the Undersigned has read and understands the following language of section 1542 of the California Civil Code which provides “a general release does not extend to claims which the Creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release which, if known by him, must have materially affected his settlement with the Debtor.” Having reviewed the provision, the Undersigned nevertheless voluntarily release SHEC from any and all liability claims arising out of the matters set forth herein. The Undersigned understand the word “claims” to include all actions, claims and grievances, whether actual or potential, known or unknown and specifically but non-exclusively, all claims arising out of the matters set forth herein.
