The releases contained in this Section 9 apply to all Liabilities which the Releasing Parties or any of them have or which may hereafter arise against the Indemnified Parties or any of them in connection with or arising out of the Loan or the Loan Documents, as a result of acts or omissions 

9






occurring before the date hereof, whether or not known or suspected by the parties hereto.  Each of Borrower and Guarantor expressly acknowledges that although ordinarily a general release does not extend to claims which the releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his, her or its favor, which if known by him, her or it must have materially affected his, her or its settlement with the party released, each of Borrower and Guarantor has carefully considered and taken into account in determining to enter into this Agreement the possible existence of such unknown losses or claims.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each of Borrower and Guarantor, on behalf of itself and all of the Releasing Parties expressly waives any and all rights conferred upon it by any statute or rule of law which provides that a release does not extend to claims which the claimant does not know or suspect to exist in his, her or its favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him, her or it must have materially affected his, her or its settlement with the released party, including the following provisions of California Civil Code Section 1542:
“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.”
This release by Releasing Parties shall constitute a complete defense to any Liability released pursuant to this release.  Nothing in this release shall be construed as (or shall be admissible in any legal action or proceeding as) an admission by any Co-Lender or any other Indemnified Party that any Liability exists which is within the scope of those hereby released.  This Section 9 shall survive the repayment and performance of all obligations under the Loan Documents, and the reconveyance, foreclosure, or other extinguishment of any related security instruments.  For the avoidance of doubt, by agreeing to this Section 9, Releasing Parties represent and acknowledge that none of them may seek to use any of the Liabilities released herein as a set-off of any other obligation that may exist between any Releasing Party and Indemnified Party.  In addition, Liabilities released herein shall include any Releasing Party’s right to contribution or any other similar demand that might otherwise exist (and the terms of this sentence shall control over any conflicting provision in any other Loan Document).
In no event shall the provisions of this Section 9 be deemed to limit any other release of any Indemnified Parties under any other Loan Document and all such releases of any Indemnified Parties shall be read in the broadest possible manner notwithstanding anything contained herein.
10.    Costs and Expenses.  The following fees, costs and expenses charged or incurred by Lender in connection with the Transaction, this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereunder shall be the obligations of Borrower and Guarantor and paid by Borrower or Guarantor on or prior to the date hereof: (i) attorney’s fees incurred by Lender’s counsel; (ii) any title insurance premiums or costs for endorsements, if any, required by Lender; and (iii) all related costs and expenses incurred by Lender.  The effectiveness of this Agreement is subject to and conditioned upon payment by Borrower of the foregoing fees, costs and expenses.
