RELEASE AND WAIVER

THIS RELEASE AND WAIVER (“Release”) is made by (“Releasor”), in favor of D K WARBIRDS, INC., a corporation, its officers, directors, shareholders, agents, employees, contractors, and R. WILLIAM RHEINSCHILD III, and RICHARD L. PACK, individually and their respective successors and assigns (collectively, “Releasee”).
 
Releasee has agreed to provide Releasor with a recreational acrobatic air tour in a vintage P-51 “Mustang” aircraft. Releasor acknowledges that air travel in this type of aircraft, which will feature acrobatic maneuvers, will create serious risks and dangers for personal injury and/or death. Releasor hereby warrants and represents that Releasor is in excellent medical condition and is not subject to physical defects or infirmities of any kind which would render Releasor unfit for acrobatic air maneuvers or which would cause an acrobatic air tour to pose any material threat of physical or psychological harm to Releasor. Releasor hereby acknowledges that Releasor has had an adequate opportunity to consult with medical professionals to verify Releasor’s fitness for an acrobatic air tour.
 
In order to induce Releasee to provide the above-described acrobatic air tour, Releasor, for (himself/herself) and/or on behalf of any minor to whom Releasor shall make the acrobatic air tour available, hereby agrees to waive any Claims and Liabilities and to hold Releasee free and harmless, from and against any and all Claims and Liabilities arising out of, resulting from or associated with the acrobatic air tour. Releasor hereby acknowledges that Releasee would not agree to provide the acrobatic air tour unless Releasor agreed to this Release.
 
For purposes of this Release, “Claims” and “Liabilities” shall mean any and all claims, suits, demands, obligations, liabilities, indebtedness, breaches of contract, breaches of duty, or any relationship, acts, omissions, misfeasance, malfeasance, cause or causes of action, debts, sums of money, accounts, compensations, contracts, controversies, promises, damages, costs, losses and expenses, of every type, kind, nature, description or character, and irrespective of how, why, or by reason of what facts, whether heretofore, now existing or hereafter arising from or with respect to the acrobatic air tour, whether known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, fixed or contingent, liquidated or unliquidated, each as though fully set forth herein.
 
In furtherance of this intention, Releasor expressly waives any and all rights conferred upon it by the provisions of California Civil Code Section 1542 and the provisions of any other applicable laws restricting the release of claims which the Releasor does not know of or suspect to exist at the time of executing this Release, and expressly consents, only with respect to Claims and Liabilities as defined herein, that this Release shall be given full force and effect according to each and all of its express terms and provisions.
California Civil Code Section 1542 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”
 
Releasor hereby understands and acknowledges the significance and consequences of such release and specific waiver of California Civil Code Section 1542.
 
IT IS FURTHER HEREBY UNDERSTOOD AND AGREED that the acceptance of delivery of this Release by the parties released hereby shall not be deemed or construed as an admission of liability of any nature whatsoever by any party released by the terms hereof, and each such party hereby expressly denies liability of any nature whatsoever arising from or related to the subject of the within Release.
 
Releasor hereby acknowledges that Releasor has not relied upon any representation of any kind made by Releasee in making the foregoing release.
 
The laws of the State of California shall govern the interpretation, validity and enforcement of this Release.
 
DATED: 20__.
