5. Although the Owner has endeavored to include in the Evaluation Materials information which Owner believes to be relevant for the purpose of helping the Purchaser in its evaluation of the Property for possible purchase, Purchaser understands and acknowledges the Owner has not made any representation or warranty to the Purchaser as to the accuracy or completeness of the Evaluation Materials. Purchaser agrees that the Owner shall not have any liability to the Purchaser as a result of Purchaser’s use of the Evaluation Materials and It is understood that Purchaser is expected to perform and be responsible for such due diligence investigations and inspections of the Property, including investigation of any physical or environmental conditions, as Purchaser may deem necessary or desirable and as permitted by agreement with Owner.

7. In the event Purchaser violates any of the terms of this Agreement, Owner will have the right, in addition to any other rights Owner may have, to seek injunctive relief to restrain any breach or threatened breach by the Purchaser or specified enforcement of such terms.
