In so waiving such objections and complaints, Buyer further acknowledges and agrees that Buyer is relying solely on its own investigation of the Property and Seller’s express representations, warranties, covenants and obligations set forth in this Agreement. Subject to and without limiting Seller’s express representations, warranties, covenants and obligations in this Agreement, upon the Closing, Buyer will assume the risk that adverse matters, including adverse physical and environmental conditions, may not have been revealed by Buyer’s inspections and investigations.

(c) Except with respect to (i) the breach of any express representations, warranties, covenants or obligations of Seller in this Agreement or (ii) any misrepresentation or fraud by any Seller Affiliate, effective as of the Closing, Buyer shall be deemed to have waived, relinquished and released the Seller Affiliates from and against any and all claims, demands, causes of action and liabilities that Buyer might have asserted or alleged against the Seller Affiliates at any time by reason of or arising out of any latent or patent defects or physical conditions, violations of any applicable Laws and any and all other acts, omissions, events, circumstances or matters regarding the Property. By initialing below, Buyer hereby waives the provisions of California Civil Code section 1542, in connection with the foregoing matters, which provides that:

“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.”

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if after the Effective Date Buyer obtains additional sources of cash equity capital resulting in dilution of Buyer’s then-existing equity holders, the obligations of this Section 7.4 shall remain in force provided that such new investor shall not be obligated to remit its applicable portion of the net profits to Buyer. The provisions of this Section 7.4 shall survive Closing. Also notwithstanding the foregoing, if either entity comprising Seller has assigned its rights under this

Section 7.4 without the prior written consent of Buyer other than an assignment in connection with a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of Seller, or if either such entity is the subject of any proceeding in bankruptcy, or regarding insolvency or creditor rights under federal or state law, then the terms of this Section 7.4 requiring the payment of some of the proceeds of a Subsequent Sale to Seller shall be deemed to have been mutually rescinded and shall be of no further force or effect.

7.5 Referrals. For a period of two years following the Effective Date, Buyer and Seller shall in good faith promote each other’s products and services through links between their web sites and other means and methods determined in good faith. Buyer shall, on an exclusive basis, send any leads for solar photovoltaic systems received by the Business, its web-site, or other means to Seller during such two-year period; provided, however, that should Buyer become dissatisfied with the response time or professionalism of Seller in acting upon leads given to Seller by Buyer, Buyer reserves the right to sell or provide leads to other persons and entities. Seller shall make the Business a member of its referral program and pay Buyer its standard fee for each referral (currently $500 for each completed installation). The provisions of this Section 7.5 shall survive Closing.

7.6 Domain Name. Although it is among the Assets, the Parties acknowledge Seller shall not transfer the “realgoods.com” domain name at Closing. By no later than December 15, 2015, Seller shall sell, assign, transfer and deliver to Buyer, without payment of further consideration, the “realgoods.com” domain name. Seller shall deliver notice at least 5 business days prior to such transfer, and Buyer and Seller shall cooperate with respect to such transfer to ensure a smooth transition of the “realgoods.com” domain name. The provisions of this Section 7.6 shall survive Closing.

7.7 IT and Telecommunications Transition. The Parties acknowledge that the Business is currently dependent upon various IT servers and other apparatus in both Buyer’s and Seller’s facilities, and the Buyer and Seller shall cooperate to transition, with a 60 days period, the necessary IT assets of the Business. (Provided, however, the parties acknowledge that the “realgoods.com” domain name will be transferred pursuant to Section 7.6.) Seller agrees direct its Director of Information Technologies to implement the current discussed upgrades to the Business’ systems, and shall spend no more than $5,000 on hardware for such upgrades, and agrees to complete the installation with assistance of Buyer on or before December 15, 2014. Seller will allow Buyer to retain and use its current email addresses on the I.T. exchange server, to ensure a smooth transfer and ensure that all emails intended for Buyer are forwarded to Buyer. Until the domain name, email addresses, IT services and telecommunications are separated, or transferred to Buyer, Seller further agrees to pay for all commercially reasonable costs of providing such services and capabilities to Buyer; provided however that as each service is transitioned to Buyer, Buyer shall assume such cost. The provisions of this Section 7.7 shall survive Closing.

Further, Seller shall not be liable under this Article 8 for any Buyer Indemnifiable Damages based upon or arising out of any inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations or warranties of Seller contained in this Agreement if Buyer had knowledge of such inaccuracy or breach prior to the Closing.

8.4 Remedies Cumulative; Waiver. Except for claims for Indemnifiable Damages under this Section 8.1, and except for claims of fraud or intentional misrepresentation, no Party to this Agreement shall have any liability to the other Party or any Affiliates thereof in connection with the breach of the representations and warranties of that Party.
