7. Condition of Assets. Buyer warrants that it is a sophisticated owner and hotel/casino developer familiar and experienced with all requirements for the use, development and operation of the Assets. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that because it has had an opportunity during the Inspection Period to inspect the Assets and the Hotel Property and Buyer has had an opportunity to withhold the Approval notice, Buyer is acquiring the Assets "AS IS", "WHERE IS" and with all faults as of the Close of Escrow. As such, Sellers make and have made no express or implied representation or warranty to Buyer concerning the Assets or the Hotel Property, including, without limitation:

Xxxxxxx expressly exclude any and all implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, design and condition. Buyer hereby acknowledges and agrees that (i) no representations or warranties of any kind or nature whatsoever, express or implied, written or oral, have been made to Buyer or any other person by or on behalf of Sellers; and (ii) no one has any authority to make any such representations and warranties on behalf of Sellers.

9. Confidentiality.

In the course of considering the subject matter hereof, the parties may have needed to exchange certain information of a sensitive, proprietary, and/or confidential nature (the "Confidential Information"). Such Confidential Information, irrespective of the form of communication, would include all analyses, compilations, studies or other documents, which contain or otherwise reflect such information. Confidential Information will not include information which (i) becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by the recipient of such Confidential Information or an agent or representative of such recipient; (ii) was available to the recipient on a non-confidential basis prior to its disclosure by either of the parties hereto; or (iii) becomes available to the recipient on a non-confidential basis from some unrelated third-party source, provided that such source is not bound by a confidentiality agreement with respect to the Confidential Information or otherwise prohibited from transmitting the information to the recipient by a contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation.

In consideration for granting access to certain Confidential Information, the parties agree that such Confidential Information will be held in strictest confidence, and will not be disclosed to any third-party without the prior written consent of the disclosing party. It is further agreed that: (i) the Confidential Information will be used by the parties solely in connection with their consideration of this Agreement and the purchase of the Assets contemplated by this Agreement; and (ii) that each party will reveal the Confidential Information only to those of its agents, representatives (including legal representatives and financial advisors), consultants and employees actively and directly participating in the evaluation of the matters addressed in this Agreement, or who otherwise need to know such information. If, however, the recipients are requested or required (by oral questions, interrogatories, requests for information or documents in legal proceedings, subpoena, civil investigative demand or other similar process) to disclose any of the Confidential Information, the recipient so requested will provide prompt written notice of such request or requirement so that Sellers may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy and/or waive compliance with the provision of this Agreement. If, in the absence of a protective order or other remedy or the receipt of a waiver the recipient reasonably believes they are nonetheless legally compelled to disclose Confidential Information to any tribunal or else stand liable for contempt or suffer other censure or penalty, the recipient may, without liability hereunder, disclose the Confidential Information. Buyer may also disclose Confidential Information to the contractor or architect hired by Sellers to work on the Hotel Property. In the event of any breach of Confidentiality, each party acknowledges that the disclosing party would be irreparably and immediately harmed and could not be made whole by monetary damages. Accordingly, the parties agree that in addition to any other remedy to which an injured party may be entitled at law or equity, such injured party will be entitled to injunctive relief to prevent any breaches of this Section.

Except as otherwise required by law, regulation or applicable securities exchange rules, neither Buyer nor Sellers shall issue or make any reports, statements or releases to the public with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby without the consent of the other, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

17. Waiver. Failure by any party at any time to require the other party’s performance of any obligation under this Agreement will not affect its right to require performance of that obligation.

No waiver will be binding unless executed in writing by the party making the waiver.
