(i) Indemnity and Release.
(1) Indemnity. For the purposes of this Section 7(i), the term "Claims" shall
mean any and all claims, obligations, liabilities, causes of action, suits, debts, liens, damages,
judgments, losses, demands, orders, penalties, settlements, costs and expenses (including,
without limitation, attorneys' fees and costs and any and all costs and expenses related to,
whether directly or indirectly, any and all clean-up, remediation, investigations, monitoring,
abatement, mitigation measures, fines or removal with respect to Hazardous Materials) of any
kind or nature whatsoever. The definition of "Claims" shall include, without limitation, Claims
under contract law or tort law. Purchaser acknowledges that but for Purchaser's agreement to
each and every provision of this Section 7(i), Seller would not have entered into the Agreement.
Purchaser, on behalf of itself, its successors, assigns and successors -in -interest ("Successors"),
shall indemnify, defend, protect and hold Seller and Seller's successors, assigns, partners,
affiliates and members and all their respective officers, directors, shareholders, participants,
partners, affiliates, employees, representatives, invitees and agents (collectively, "Seller Parties")
harmless from and against any and all Claims resulting from, related to, or based upon, whether
directly or indirectly: (i) the breach by Purchaser of any representation, warranty, covenant or
obligation contained in the Agreement, or in any other agreement, document, exhibit or
instrument related hereto or referenced herein; (ii) any Claim or Claims, if the basis of such
Claim or Claims arose on or after the Closing, except as noted in subparagraph (iv) below, and if
the basis of such Claim or Claims arose from, is based upon, relates to or pertains to, whether
directly or indirectly, the operation, management and use of the Property; (iii) any Claim or
Claims which Claim or Claims (or the basis for which) arose from, is based upon, relates to or
pertains to, whether directly or indirectly, any act or omission of Purchaser or any of its

Attachment No. 2
employees, agents or representatives; and (iv) (A) any Claim or Claims that relate to the
condition of the Property on or after the Close of Escrow, including any judgment, order or
settlement under or otherwise pursuant to a lawsuit, and (B) any Claim or Claims that relate to
defects in the Property (including, without limitation, patent and latent construction defects),
regardless of whether said defects or the cause of the same arose either before or after the Close
of Escrow, including any judgment, order or settlement under or otherwise pursuant to the
lawsuit. Any defense of any or all of the Seller Parties referenced in this Section 7(i)(1), shall be
at the Purchaser's sole cost and expense and by counsel selected by the Purchaser, subject to the
reasonable approval of the indemnified person, which counsel may, without limiting the rights of
any of the Seller Parties pursuant to the next succeeding sentence of this Section 7(i)(1), also
represent the Purchaser in such investigation, action or proceeding. If any of the Seller Parties
that is being indemnified determines reasonably and in good faith that its defense by the
Purchaser is reasonably likely to cause a conflict of interest or is being conducted in a manner
which is prejudicial to such persons interests, such indemnified person may elect to conduct its
own defense through counsel of its own choosing, subject to the reasonable approval of the
Purchaser, and at the expense of the Purchaser.
(2) Release and § 1542 Waiver. Notwithstanding the following or anything to
the contrary set forth in this Agreement, the Seller is not released from any liability to the
Purchaser for fraud or breach of any covenant or warranty set forth in this Agreement. Subject to
the immediately preceding sentence and the Purchaser's right to rely on the Seller's express
representations and warranties set forth in Section 7 hereof, Purchaser for itself and on behalf of
each of its successors and/or assigns (collectively, the "Releasors") by this general release of
known and unknown claims (this "Release") hereby irrevocably and unconditionally release and
forever discharge Seller and each of the Seller Parties (collectively, the "Releasees") or any of
them, from and against any and all Claims of any kind or nature whatsoever, WHETHER
KNOWN OR UNKNOWN, suspected or unsuspected, fixed or contingent, liquidated or
unliquidated which any of the Releasors now have, own, hold, or claim to have had, owned, or
held, against any of the Releasees arising from, based upon or related to, whether directly or
indirectly any facts, matters, circumstances, conditions or defects (whether patent or latent) of all
or any kinds, related to, arising from, or based upon, whether directly or indirectly, the Property,
including without limitation, (i) the physical condition, quality and state of repair of the Property
conveyed, (ii) any latent or patent defect affecting the Property conveyed, and (iii) the presence
of Hazardous Materials in, on, about or under the Property or which have migrated from adjacent
lands to the Property or from the Property to adjacent lands.
Except for Claims for Seller's fraud or the breach of any representations and warranties
of the Seller expressly provided for in Section 7 of this Agreement, Releasors hereby further
agree as follows:
(i) Releasors acknowledge that there is a risk that subsequent to the execution
of this Agreement, Releasors may discover, incur, or suffer from Claims which were unknown or
unanticipated at the time this Release is executed, including, without limitation, unknown or
unanticipated Claims which, if known by Releasors on the date this Release is being executed,
may have materially affected Releasors' decision to execute this Agreement. Releasors
acknowledge that Releasors are assuming the risk of such unknown and unanticipated Claims
16
Attachment No. 2
and agree that this Release applies thereto. Releasors expressly waive the benefits of Section
1542 of the California Civil Code, which reads as follows:
"A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not
know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the
release, which if known by him or her must have materially affected his or
her settlement with the debtor."
(ii) Releasors represent and warrant that Releasors have been represented by
independent counsel of Releasors' own choosing in connection with the preparation and review
of the Release set forth herein, that Releasors have specifically discussed with such counsel the
meaning and effect of this Release and that Releasors have carefully read and understand the
scope and effect of each provision contained herein. Releasors further represent and warrant that
Releasors do not rely and have not relied upon any representation or statement made by any of
the Releasees or any of their representatives, agents, employees, attorneys or officers with regard
to the subject matter, basis or effect of this Release.
(iii) Releasors represent and warrant to Releasees that Releasors have not and
shall not assign or transfer or purport to assign or transfer any Claim or Claims or any portion
thereof or any interest therein, and shall indemnify, defend, protect and hold the Releasees
harmless from and against any Claim or Claims based on or arising out of, whether directly or
indirectly, any such assignment or transfer, or purported assignment or transfer.

the extent any real estate commission, brokerage commission or finder's fee shall be earned or
claimed in connection with this Agreement or the Closing, the payment of such fee or
commission, and the defense of any action in connection therewith, shall be the sole and

commission or finder's fee is asserted against the party to this Agreement who did not request
