 Each Party, with the advice of counsel, knowingly and voluntarily waives any protection to which it may be entitled under Section 1542 and further waives any protection that may exist under any
comparable or similar statutes or principles of law under any and all states of the United States or of the United States, and covenants not to assert any claims in violation of this waiver.

Termination Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of each Party.

the subject matter hereof. This Termination Agreement may not be supplemented, amended, or otherwise modified except by a writing signed by each Party. 
 (d) Any term or provision of this Termination Agreement that is invalid or unenforceable in any situation in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining terms and
