6.     Integration. The Agreement as amended by this Amendment constitutes the entire agreement and understanding between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and supersedes any and all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof.

 

7.     No Waiver. The execution of this Amendment and the acceptance of all other agreements and instruments related hereto shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any Default or Event of Default, whether or not known to Lender and whether or not existing on the date of this Amendment.

 

8.     Release.

 

(a)     Each Borrower, each Guarantor signing an Acknowledgment and Agreement of Guarantor set forth below, and each Subordinate Creditor singing the Acknowledgment and Agreement of Subordinating Creditor, hereby absolutely and unconditionally releases and forever discharges Lender, and any and all participants, parent corporations, subsidiary corporations, affiliated corporations, insurers, indemnitors, successors and assigns thereof, together with all of the present and former directors, officers, agents and employees of any of the foregoing, from any and all claims, demands or causes of action of any kind, nature or description, whether arising in law or equity or upon contract or tort or under any state or federal law or otherwise, which such Borrower has had, now has or has made claim to have against any such person for or by reason of any act, omission, matter, cause or thing whatsoever arising from the beginning of time to and including the date of this Amendment, whether such claims, demands and causes of action are matured or unmatured or known or unknown. Each Borrower, each Guarantor signing an Acknowledgment and Agreement of Guarantor set forth below, and each Subordinate Creditor signing the Acknowledgment and Agreement of each Subordinate Creditor set forth below, each certify that it has read the following provisions of California Civil Code Section 1542:

 

A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him or her must have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor.

 

(b)     Each Borrower, each Guarantor signing an Acknowledgment and Agreement of Guarantor set forth below, and each Subordinate Creditor signing the Acknowledgment and Agreement of each Subordinate Creditor set forth below, understands and acknowledges that the significance and consequence of this waiver of California Civil Code Section 1542 is that even if it should eventually suffer additional damages arising out of the facts referred to above, it will not be able to make any claim for those damages. Furthermore, each Borrower, each Guarantor signing an Acknowledgment and Agreement of Guarantor set forth below, and each Subordinate Creditor signing the Acknowledgment and Agreement of each Subordinate Creditor set forth below, acknowledges that it intends these consequences even as to claims for damages that may exist as of the date of this release but which it does not know exist, and which, if known, would materially affect its decision to execute this Agreement, regardless of whether its lack of knowledge is the result of ignorance, oversight, error, negligence, or any other cause.

 

9.     Reaffirmation of the Agreement. The Agreement as amended hereby remains in full force and effect.
