I further acknowledge and agree that i am familiar with and do hereby waive the provisions of section 1542 of the california civil code (and similar provisions of other jurisdictions) 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.” Section 6.

There shall be a single arbitrator to be selected in accordance with those rules. Neither I, MLB nor any MLB Person(s) and S.A.F.E. nor S.A.F.E. persons, and Play Above Average nor Play Above Average persons shall be entitled to join or consolidate claims in arbitration by or against other individuals or entities, or arbitrate as a representative member of a putative class or in a private attorney general capacity. The arbitrator shall have the power to award any remedies available under applicable law; provided, however, that the arbitrator shall have no authority to award punitive or other monetary damages not measured by the prevailing party’s actual damages, except as may be required by statute.
