Except for Seller's representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement, Buyer shall acquire the Property "AS IS" with all faults and Buyer shall rely on the results of its own inspection and investigation in Buyer's acquisition of the Property.Buyer hereby releases and waives any claim whenever arising against Seller or its agents, brokers, heirs, successors, assigns, employees, affiliates, contractors, representatives, officers, directors, members and managers, against any contractors, subcontractors, suppliers, consultants or design professionals of every tier performing any work or services in connection with the Property at any time before this sale is final, and their insurers and reinsurers (collectively, the “Seller Parties”), relating to or arising from the condition of the Property at any time, except for Seller’s breach of its representations and warranties set forth herein and Seller’s fraud.  This waiver is absolute and unconditional, and this release and waiver applies whether or not Buyer has knowledge of any actual or potential cause of action for such claims.  This waiver applies to claims under any legal theory, including but not limited to negligence, negligence per se, negligent misrepresentation, defective construction, breach of contract or express or implied warranty, unlawful trade practice, breach of fiduciary duty, strict liability, nuisance, trespass or any other theory, whether arising from statute, contract, tort or otherwise.

If, prior to closing, all or any material part of the Property is (a) condemned or appropriated by public authority or any party exercising the right of eminent domain, or is threatened thereby, or (b) if there occurs a fire or other casualty causing material damage to the Property or any material portion thereof, then, at the election of Buyer by written notice to Seller, either: (i) this Agreement shall become null and void, whereupon all Earnest Money and any interest accrued thereon shall be promptly repaid to Buyer; or (ii) the Purchase Price shall be reduced by the portion of the taking award or casualty insurance proceeds attributable to the portion of the Property taken or destroyed, as the case may be. Seller
  12 - Purchase and Sale Agreement
 
 will promptly notify Buyer as to the commencement of any such action or any communication from a condemning authority that a condemnation or appropriation is contemplated, and will cooperate with Buyer in the response to or defense of such actions.
 16.  Legal and Equitable Remedies.
  16.1  Default by Seller.  In the event that the transaction fails to close by reason of any default by Seller, all Earnest Money shall be returned to Buyer and Buyer shall be entitled to pursue any other remedy available to it at law or in equity, including (without limitation) the remedy of specific performance.
  16.2  Default by Buyer.  In the event that this transaction fails to close by reason of any default by Buyer, all Earnest Money shall be forfeited by Buyer and released from escrow to Seller.
