(a) In exchange for the Warrant Consideration payable to the Warrant Holder pursuant to this Agreement and the Merger Agreement, which constitutes good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, effective as of the Closing, the Warrant Holder, on the Warrant Holder’s own behalf and on behalf of the Warrant Holder’s Affiliates and their respective heirs, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Warrant Holder Releasors”), hereby irrevocably waive, acquit, remise, discharge and forever release the Company, the Surviving Corporation, the Merger Sub, Parent, and each of their respective officers, managers, members, partners, employees, attorneys, Affiliates and other representatives and any predecessor or successor to any of them (collectively, the “Releasees”) from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, actions, claims, demands, judgments, losses, damages, costs, expenses, taxes, penalties and interest (including, without limitation, any related to Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code) of any kind or nature whatsoever arising on or prior to the Closing, in each case whether absolute or contingent, liquidated or unliquidated, known or unknown, matured or unmatured or determined or undeterminable, and whether arising under any Law, contract, agreement, arrangement, commitment, undertaking or understanding, whether written or oral or otherwise at law or in equity, and the Warrant Holder covenants, on behalf of the Warrant Holder and each other Warrant Holder Releasor, that no Warrant Holder Releasor shall seek to recover any amounts in connection therewith or thereunder from the Releasees. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, the waiver, release and discharge contained in this Section 5(a) shall not apply to (i) any rights or obligations arising under the Merger Agreement, this Agreement or any other agreements executed by the parties hereto in connection therewith and (ii) rights that cannot be released, compromised, exchanged or waived under applicable Law. Each of the Releasees shall be deemed to be an express third party beneficiary of the terms and conditions of this Section 5.
(b) The Warrant Holder, on behalf of the Warrant Holder and each other Warrant Holder Releasor, acknowledge, represent, and warrant that the Warrant Holder has had adequate disclosure of all facts necessary to make a knowing release of all matters released hereunder. The Warrant Holder, on behalf of the Warrant Holder and each other Warrant Holder Releasor, hereby waive and relinquish any rights and benefits that may exist under any statute or common law principle of any jurisdiction relating to the preservation of unknown claims, including California Civil Code Section 1542 (and any laws which are similar, comparable or equivalent to such law), which provides:
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.
6. Further Assurances. The Warrant Holder, upon request, will execute and deliver any additional documents and take such additional actions reasonably deemed by the Company or Parent to be reasonably necessary or desirable to complete the cancellation of the Warrants surrendered hereby and to otherwise carry out the provisions of this Agreement.
