know or believe to be true, with respect to the matters released
herein. Nevertheless, it is your intention, through this Agreement,
and with the advice of counsel, fully and finally settle and release
all such matters, and all claims relative thereto, which do now
exist, may exist, or have existed between and among the parties
hereto, including the Indemnified Parties. You hereby acknowledge
that you have been advised by your legal counsel, understand and
acknowledge the significance and consequence of this release and
of this specific waiver of Section 1542 and other such laws.
