The term “Releasees” shall include the Agency and the City of Westminster, and their respective elected and appointed officials, officers, directors, employees, attorneys, accountants, or other professionals and agents.

     (b) Releasors shall and do hereby release and discharge Releasees from and against all claims, penalties, actions or causes of action, obligations, and demands of any kind relating to the Released Claims.

     25. Waiver, Consent and Remedies. Each provision of this Agreement to be performed by Agency and Seller shall be deemed both a covenant and a condition and shall be a material consideration for Seller’s and Agency’s performance hereunder, as appropriate, and any breach thereof by Agency or Seller shall be deemed a material default hereunder. Either party may specifically and expressly waive in writing any portion of this Agreement or any breach thereof, but no such waiver shall constitute a further or continuing waiver of a preceding or succeeding breach of the same or any other provision. A waiving party may at any time thereafter require further compliance by the other party with any breach or provision so waived. The consent by one party to any act by the other for which such consent was required shall not be deemed to imply consent or waiver of the necessity of obtaining such consent for the same or any similar acts in the future. No waiver or consent shall be implied from silence or any failure of a party to act, except as otherwise specified in this Agreement. Except as set forth in Section 16 above, all rights, remedies, undertakings, obligations, options, covenants, conditions and agreements contained in this Agreement shall be cumulative and no one of them shall be exclusive of any other. Except as otherwise specified in this Agreement either party hereto may pursue any one or more of its rights, options or remedies hereunder or may seek damages or specific performance in the event of the other party’s breach hereunder, or may pursue any other remedy at law or equity, whether or not stated in this Agreement.

     26. Attorney’s Fees. In the event any declaratory or other legal or equitable action is instituted between Seller, Agency and/or Escrow Agent in connection with the enforcement, breach or rescission of this Agreement, then as between Agency and Seller, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the losing party all of its costs and expenses, including court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees, expert witnesses and all fees, costs and expenses incurred on any appeal or in collection of any judgment.

     27. Notices. Any and all notices, demands, consents, approvals, offers, elections and other communications required or permitted under this Agreement shall be deemed adequately given if in writing and the same shall be delivered either in hand or by mail or Federal Express or similar expedited commercial carrier, addressed to the recipient of the notice, postpaid and registered or certified with return receipt requested (if by mail), or with all freight charges prepaid (if by Federal Express or similar carrier). All notices required or permitted to be sent hereunder shall be deemed to have been given for all purposes of this Agreement upon the date of receipt or refusal, except that whenever under this Agreement a notice is either received on a day which is not a business day or is required to be delivered on or before a specific day which is not a business day, the day of receipt or required delivery shall automatically be extended to the next business day.

     35. Broker Fees.

bringing about this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby made by any other broker, finder or like agent, if such claim or claims are based in whole or in part on dealings with the indemnifying party. The provisions of this Section shall survive the Closing.

     36. Assignment.

     37. Cooperation. Each party agrees to cooperate with the other in the Closing of this transaction and, in that regard, to sign any and all documents which may be reasonably necessary, helpful, or appropriate to carry out the purposes and intent of this Agreement including, but not limited to, releases or additional agreements.

     38. Section Headings. The section headings contained in this Agreement are for the reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.
