(This paragraph applies to accidents in California) The California Civil Code, Section 1542, provides as follows: "Cer-
tain claims not affected by General Release--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 debtor." I UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT ALL RIGHTS UNDER THIS SECTION OF THE
CIVIL CODE OF CALIFORNIA ARE EXPRESSLY WAIVED BY ME.
I understand that the iniuries are or may be permanent; that the injuries are or may be progressive and become more
serious and that the length of disability and recovery is uncertain. I nevertheless consider. that the money now being paid
me is fair and equitable under all circumstances. I accept it as a full and final settlement of all claims, rights and dam-
ages which Inow have or may have against the parties being released, their agents or representatives.
In making this agreement I have not relied on statements nor representations regarding my rights, claims for damages,
facts of accident and nature and extent of my iniuries by the parties being released, their agents and representatives. On
the contrary, I have consiciered all these matters myself and have relied entirely on my own judgment.
I understand that the amount of this settlement is a compromise settlement of a doubtful and disputed claim or rights
for all damages arising out of the accident referred to above. It is further agreed that this settlement is not to be considered
as an admission of any responsibility whatsoever, in whole or in part, for the accident by the parties released, their agents
or representatives.
This release contains the entireagreement between me and the parties released and their agents and representatives
and it is agreed thaUhe terms of this release are contractual and not a mere recital.
I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS ALL THE MONEY I WILL RECEIVE AS A RESULT OF THIS ACCIDENT.
I HAVE READ THIS RELEASE, UNDERSTAND IT AND AM SIGNING IT VOLUNTARILY.
