The Relevant Parties acknowledge and agree that they have no defenses, counterclaims, offsets, cross-complaints, causes of action, rights, claims or demands of any kind or nature whatsoever, including without limitation, any usury or lender liability claims or defenses, arising out of the Loans, any Credit Documents, or the Collateral, or any past or present relationship between or among the Relevant Parties, the Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders, or any of Administrative Agent’s and/or Lenders’ past, present and/or future parent, subsidiary and affiliated entities and, with respect to each of the foregoing, their respective past and present officers, directors, shareholders, partners, limited partners, members, representatives, principals, owners, affiliates, attorneys, accountants, agents and employees, and their successors, heirs and assigns and each of them, that can be asserted either to reduce or eliminate all or any part of Borrower’s or FlexShopper’s liability under the Credit Documents, or to seek affirmative relief or damages of any kind or nature from the Administrative Agent and/or Lenders with respect to the Loans, the Credit Documents and/or the Property.

With respect to Released Claims that are unknown, unsuspected, unaccrued, contingent and/or future Released Claims, the Relevant Party Releasors specifically waive the benefit of Section 1542 of the California Civil Code which provides as follows:

 

A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS THAT THE CREDITOR OR RELEASING PARTY DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE AND THAT, IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER, WOULD HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR OR RELEASED PARTY.
