5. Release. Assignee shall rely solely upon Assignee’s own knowledge of the Property based on its investigation of the Property and Seller’s express representations and warranties set forth in Section 14 of the Purchase Agreement, and its own inspection of the Property in determining the Property’s physical condition. Except for a claim by Assignee against Seller for a breach of the Purchase Agreement by Seller, Assignee and anyone claiming by, through or under Assignee hereby waives its right to recover from and fully and irrevocably

releases Seller, its employees, officers, directors, representatives, agents, servants, attorneys, affiliates, parent, subsidiaries, successors and assigns (“Released Parties”) from any and all claims that it may now have or hereafter acquire against any of the Released Parties for any costs, loss, liability, damage, expenses, demand, action or cause of action arising from or related to any construction defects, errors, omissions or other conditions, latent or otherwise, including environmental matters, affecting the Property, or any portion thereof. This release includes claims of which Assignee is presently unaware or which Assignee does not presently suspect to exist which, if known by Assignee, would materially affect Assignee’s release to Seller. Assignee specifically waives the provision of California Civil Code Section 1542, which provides as follows:
“A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR EXPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN TO HIM OR HER MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.”
In this connection and to the extent permitted by law, Assignee hereby agrees, represents and warrants that Assignee realizes and acknowledges that factual matters now unknown to it may have given or may hereafter give rise to causes of action, claims, demands, debts, controversies, damages, costs, losses and expenses which are presently unknown, unanticipated and unsuspected, and Assignee further agrees, represents and warrants that the waivers and releases herein have been negotiated and agreed upon in light of that realization and that Assignee nevertheless hereby intends to release, discharge and acquit Seller from any such unknown causes of action, claims, demands, debts, controversies, damages, costs, losses and expenses which might in any way be included as a material portion of the consideration given to Seller by Assignee in exchange for Seller’s performance hereunder.
Seller has given Assignee material concessions regarding this transaction in exchange for Assignee agreeing to the provisions of this Section 5. Assignee has initialed this Section 5 to further indicate its awareness and acceptance of each and every provision hereof.
