In this connection and to the extent permitted by applicable Law, Buyer hereby agrees, represents and warrants that Buyer 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 Buyer further agrees, represents and warrants that the waivers and releases herein have been negotiated and agreed upon in light of that realization and that Buyer nevertheless hereby intends, subject to Seller’s express representations and warranties set forth in Section 5.1, and the implied warranties made in the Deed as specified in California Civil Code Section 1113, or elsewhere in this agreement, to release, discharge and acquit Seller and each and every member of Seller Group, 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 Buyer in exchange for Seller’s performance hereunder. Seller has given Buyer material concessions regarding this transaction in exchange for Buyer agreeing to the provisions of this Section 5.2.2.

Each party has initialed this Section 5.2.2 to further indicate their awareness and acceptance of each and every provision of this Section 5.2.2.

5.3 Effect of Contrary Actual Knowledge on Representations. Seller shall have no liability to Buyer by reason of any breached or inaccurate representation or warranty made by either Seller in this Agreement, in any of the Property Documents, or in any other documents delivered in connection with the applicable Closing if, prior to such Closing, Buyer has or comes to have (from whatever source, including, due diligence investigations or inspections, or the written disclosure by a Seller or its agents or employees) actual knowledge of such breach or inaccuracy, and Buyer nevertheless consummates the subject Closing.

5.4. Indemnification.

5.4.1. By Seller. Subject to Sections 5.4.3 and 5.4.4, Seller shall waive any claim against Buyer for, and shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend Buyer against any claim, loss, damage or expense, including, without limitation, any and all reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, asserted against or suffered by Buyer resulting from the following: (i) any breach by Seller of this Agreement; (ii) any liability or obligation of Seller to a third party that Buyer is not required to assume hereunder or accruing prior to such assumption, including, without limitation, any personal injury or property damage suffered in, on or about the Property by a third party or relating thereto occurring before the Closing (except that attributable to the negligence or intentional acts of Buyer or its agents, employees or representatives); or, (iii) the breach of any of the covenants, representations or warranties made by Seller herein, including, without limitation, breach of the warranty contained in Section 7.22.

5.4.2. By Buyer. Subject to Sections 5.4.3 and 5.4.4, Buyer shall waive any claim against Seller for, and shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend Seller against any claim, loss, damage or expense, including, without limitation, any and all reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, asserted against or suffered by Seller resulting from the following: (i) any breach by Buyer of this Agreement; (ii) any liability or obligation of Buyer which Seller is not required to assume hereunder or accruing prior to such assumption, including, without limitation, any personal injury or property damage suffered in, on or about the Property or relating thereto occurring on or after the Closing (except that attributable to the negligence or intentional acts of Seller or its agents, employees or representatives); or, (iii) the breach of any of the covenants, representations or warranties made by Buyer herein, including, without limitation, breach of the warranty contained in Section 7.22. Liability of Buyer to Seller for Buyer’s default or breach of this Agreement resulting in Buyer’s failure to close the Escrow shall be governed by Section 7.1.

5.4.3. Notice of Claim or Demand. In the event either Seller or Buyer receives notice of a claim or demand against which it is entitled to indemnification pursuant to either Section 5.4.1, or 5.4.2, as applicable, such party shall promptly give notice thereof to the other party. The party obligated to defend and indemnify shall, within ten (10) days after receipt of such notice, take such measures as may be reasonably required to properly and effectively defend such claim, and may defend same with counsel of its own choosing approved by the other party (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). In the event the party obligated to defend and indemnify refuses to defend such claim or fails to properly and effectively defend such claim, then the party entitled to a defense and indemnification may defend such claim with counsel of its own choosing at the expense of the party obligated to indemnify. Each party and their counsel shall cooperate with the other party in the defense of any claim and shall keep the party being indemnified reasonably informed of the status of the claim. The party being indemnified may participate in (but not control) the defense of such action all at its own expense without right of reimbursement from the indemnifying party. In such event, the indemnified party may settle such claim without the consent of the indemnifying party.

5.4.4. Remedies to Enforce Indemnification Rights. Subject to Sections 5.1(a) and 7.2, the parties may enforce such indemnification rights by any legal or equitable remedies available to them; provided, however, that each party shall be liable to the other party in any such legal or equitable action solely for such party’s actual out-of-pocket/compensatory damages but shall not be liable to such party in any manner for consequential, incidental or punitive damages, or lost profits.

5.4.5. Survival. This Section 5.4 shall survive the Closing and the recordation of the Deed, or the earlier termination of this Agreement, except that Sections 5.4.1(i) and (ii), and 5.4.2(i), (ii) and (iii) shall not survive the termination of this Agreement prior to the Closing.

5.3. Risk of Loss. Risk of loss from all causes except the fault of Buyer shall remain upon Seller until the Close of Escrow occurs. Seller shall continue to maintain the insurance, if any, that Seller currently maintains on the Property until the Closing or the earlier termination of this Agreement. If, while risk of loss remains on Seller, the Property is damaged, except through fault of Buyer, in an amount less than twenty-five percent (25%) of the Purchase Price, Buyer shall elect to either terminate this Agreement (in which event the provisions of Section 4.2(a) shall apply) or maintain this Agreement in full force (in which event the provisions of Section 4.4.1, shall apply). Damage in an amount equal to twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the Purchase Price is “material,” in which event, either party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon written notice to the other.
