<br />Seller, on behalf of himself, his heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns, hereby
<br />fully releases Buyer, its successors, agents, representatives (including attorneys), and assigns,
<br />and all other persons and associations, known or unknown, from all claims and causes of action
<br />by reason of any damage which has been sustained by Seller, or may be sustained by Seller, as
<br />a result of Buyer's efforts to acquire the Property or to construct the works of improvement
<br />thereon, or any preliminary steps thereto. This Agreement does not, and shall not be construed
<br />to, require Seller to indemnify Buyer for damages which may arise as a result of Buyer's efforts
<br />to construct improvements on the Property.
<br />C. Seller hereby acknowledges that he either has consulted with legal counsel, or had an opportunity
<br />to consult with legal counsel, regarding the previsions of the California Civil Code Section 1542,
<br />which provides as follows"
<br />"A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect
<br />to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release, which if know by him or her
<br />must have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor."
<br />Seller acknowledges that he may have sustained damage, loss, costs or expenses which are presently
<br />unknown and unsuspected, and such damage, loss, costs or expenses which may have been sustained,
<br />may give rise to additional damage, loss, costs or expenses in the future. Nevertheless, Seller hereby
<br />acknowledges that this Agreement has been negotiated and agreed upon in light of that situation, and
<br />hereby expressly waives any and all rights which Seller may have under California Civil Code Section
<br />1542, or under any statute or common law or equitable principal or similar effect.
<br />This acknowledgement and release shall survive the Close of Escrow.
