7.2 Waiver of Section 1542. In connection with the release of claims under Section 7.1 above, Sublessee and Commerce One, Inc. hereby waive the benefit of California Civil Code Section 1542, which provides:

"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."

Sublessee and Commerce One, Inc. acknowledge that they have been represented by legal counsel in connection with the negotiation of this Amendment, and that such counsel has explained the meaning and effect of the foregoing waiver of California Code Section 1542. Sublessee knowingly waives the benefit of such statute with intent that the release in Section 7.1 above extend to both known and unknown claims.

8. General Provisions.

(a) This Amendment shall be binding on and shall inure to the benefit of each of the parties hereto, their respective successors, assigns or legal representatives of any kind, nature or character.

(b) In case any one or more of the provisions of this Amendment shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision of this Amendment, and this Amendment shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had not been contained herein.

(c) This Amendment (including Exhibit A, which is incorporated herein by this reference) constitutes the entire agreement between Sublessor and Sublessee with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior offers, negotiations, oral and written. This Amendment may not be amended or modified in any respect whatsoever except by an instrument in writing signed by Sublessor and Sublessee.

(d) This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, including signatures received by facsimile, but all of such counterparts together shall constitute but one and the same instrument.

(e) This Amendment and the rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall be construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of California (including, without limitation, conflict of laws), both in interpretation and performance.
