a full release of all claims in form satisfactory to defendants. In making such a release,

plaintiff states that he has read and hereby waives any rights under 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 debtors.

8. In consideration of the payment of the amounts set forth above, plaintiff shall obtain

signatures and file with the court all documents necessary to cause the above-styled action to

be dismissed with prejudice from the court's docket.

10. This stipulation may be executed in parts.
