      All previous negotiations and understandings between Seller and Buyer or
their respective agents and employees with respect to the purchase of the
Property hereunder are merged in this Agreement, which alone fully and
completely express the parties' rights, duties and obligations with respect to
such purchase. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of
the parties hereto and their respective successors, assigns, heirs and personal
representatives. The parties hereto agree that all covenants, representations
warranties and any other obligations shall survive the Closing hereunder.

      Notwithstanding any other provision hereof to the contrary, Buyer hereby
waives any claim against Seller, including, but not limited to, any claim for
damages, for breach by Seller of any covenant, agreement, warranty or
representation made hereunder, it being understood that the only remedy afforded
Buyer for any such breach shall be the right afforded Buyer under Section II
hereof to require Seller to consummate the Repurchase. Seller shall, however,
continue to be liable hereunder to Buyer for third party claims that have been
the subject of the indemnity provision of Sections II(b)(viii).

                                  SECTION XVIII
