I FURTHER AGREE that if, despite this Agreement, Release and Waiver of Liability I, or anyone on my behalf, makes a claim against any of the Releasees, I will indemnify and hold harmless each of the Releasees from any litigation expenses, attorney fees, loss, liability, damage, or cost which any may incur as a result of such claim.

I HAVE READ THIS AGREEMENT and understand it is intended to be as broad and as inclusive as permitted by the laws of the State of California, and this Agreement shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of California. I fully understand the terms of this Agreement, understand that I am giving up substantial rights by signing this Agreement, have signed it voluntarily and without any inducement or assurance of any nature, and intend it to be a complete and unconditional release of all liability to the greatest extent allowed by law. I agree that if any portion of this agreement is held to be invalid, the balance, notwithstanding, shall continue in full force and effect. I further agree that this release and waiver also shall apply to all unknown and unanticipated claims and hereby waive the benefits of Section 1542 of the California Civil Code, which provides that 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.”
