<br /> (c) Waiver of Civil Code Section 1542. Owner, on behalf of itself and its
<br /> agents, successors and assigns, expressly waives all rights under Section 1542 of the Civil Code
<br /> of the State of California ( "Section 1542 "), or any other federal or state statutory rights or rules,
<br /> or principles of common law or equity, or those of any jurisdiction, government, or political

<br /> Thus, Owner and its agents, successors and assigns, and any business, enterprise, or venture in
<br /> which they are involved, may not invoke the benefits of Section 1542 or any Similar Provision in
<br /> order to prosecute or assert in any manner the matters Released in Paragraph 25(a) or
<br /> Paragraph 25(b) above. Section 1542 provides as follows:
<br /> "A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR
<br /> DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF
<br /> EXECUTING THE RELE SE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER MUST HAVE
<br /> MATERIALLY AFFECT HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR."

<br /> (d) Indemnification. Owner acknowledges that Optionee is relying on
<br /> Owner's representation and warranty that other than the Lease, Owner has not executed and is
<br /> unaware of any other leases, tenancies, subleases, or occupancy agreements affecting the
<br /> Property ( "Owner's Occupancy Representation "). In the event that Owner's Occupancy
<br /> Representation is untrue, then without limiting Optionee's recourse for Owner's breach of
<br /> Owner's Occupancy Representation, if such other tenants or occupants shall be entitled to
<br /> Relocation Benefits, Owner shall have the sole and exclusive responsibility for providing all such
<br /> Relocation Benefits and paying all relocation costs required to comply with all applicable federal
<br /> and state laws, rules, and regulations and satisfying all Claims of such parties. Owner hereby
<br /> agrees to indemnify, defend, protect and hold the Released Parties harmless from and against any
<br /> Claims asserted against or sustained by the Released Parties arising from its breach of the
<br /> Option Agreement 50 Chemical
