4.
Waiver. The
parties acknowledge that they may subsequently discover claims presently unknown or unsuspected, or facts in addition to or different

must have materially affected his settlement with the defendant.

Covenant Not to Sue: To
the extent permitted by law, each party forever waives, releases, and covenants not to sue or file or assist with suing or filing any
lawsuit or claim against any of the Released Parties of the other party with any court, governmental agency or other entity based on

as set forth herein.
