12.4 Notice of Claims, Defense: Settlement. Upon the discovery by any Party entitled to indemnification under this Article of facts giving rise to a claim for indemnification hereunder, including the receipt by any such Party of notice of any claim, demand, action, cause of action, suit, or controversy, judicial or otherwise, by any third party, the Party entitled to indemnification shall give prompt written notice of any such claim to the other Party. For purposes of this Article, the Party giving notice of a claim and requesting indemnification shall be referred to as the “Indemnified Party” and the other Party receiving notice of a claim and from which indemnification is sought, shall be referred to as the “Indemnifying Party.” Each such notice shall set forth the facts known to the Indemnified Party pertaining to the claim and shall specify the manner in which the Indemnified Party proposes to respond to the claim. Within ten (10) days of the receipt by the Indemnifying Party of such notice, the Indemnifying Party shall state in writing to the Indemnified Party: (a) whether the Indemnified Party may proceed to respond to the claim in the manner set forth in its notice, or (b) whether the Indemnifying Party shall assume responsibility for and conduct the negotiation, defense, or settlement of the claim, and if so, the specific manner in which the Indemnifying Party proposes to proceed. If the Indemnifying Party assumes control of the claim, the Indemnified Party shall at all times have the right to participate in the defense thereof and to be represented, at its sole expense, by counsel selected by it. No such claim shall be compromised or settled by either the Indemnifying Party or the Indemnified Party, as applicable, in any manner that might adversely affect the interest of the other Party without the prior written consent of such other Party; provided that, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to pay or settle any such claim by a third Person provided, further, that in such event the Indemnified Party shall waive any right to indemnity therefor by the Indemnifying Party for such claim. As a condition precedent to indemnification under this Article, up to the amount of indemnification, the Indemnified Party shall assign to the Indemnifying Party, and the Indemnifying Party shall become subrogated to, all rights, claims, and causes of action of the Indemnified Party against third Persons arising out of or pertaining to the matters for which the Indemnifying Party shall provide indemnification.

12.5 The Deductible. No Indemnified Party shall be entitled to assert any right to indemnification hereunder or to otherwise seek any damages or other remedies for or in connection with (a) the inaccuracy of any representations of the Indemnifying Party contained in this Agreement or in any other agreement, instrument, document or certificate executed or delivered in connection with this Agreement; (b) the breach of, or failure to perform or satisfy any of the covenants of the Indemnifying Party set forth in this Agreement or in any other agreement, instrument document or certificate executed or delivered in connection with this Agreement; or (c) any liabilities otherwise arising in connection with or with respect to the transactions

contemplated in this Agreement until the aggregate amount of the Liabilities for such breaches actually suffered by the Indemnified Party exceeds $10,000.00 per item, and then only to the extent of such excess, up to but not exceeding $25,000.00.

12.6 No Action Clause. No Indemnified Party shall settle, compromise or take any other action with respect to any claim, demand, assertion of liability or legal proceeding that could prejudice or otherwise adversely impact the ability of the Indemnifying Party to defend or otherwise settle or compromise with respect to such claim, demand, assertion of liability or legal proceeding.

12.7 Mitigation Obligation. Each Indemnified Party shall take all reasonable steps to mitigate all losses, costs, expenses and damages after becoming aware of any event which could reasonably be expected to give rise to any losses, costs, expenses and damages that are indemnifiable or recoverable hereunder or in connection wherewith.

12.8 Waiver of Representations and Consumer Rights.

THERE ARE NO WARRANTIES THAT EXTEND BEYOND THE FACE OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE DOCUMENTS TO BE EXECUTED BY SELLER AT CLOSING PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT. Buyer HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES THE PROVISIONS OF CHAPTER XVII, SUBCHAPTER E, SECTION 17.41 THROUGH 17.63, INCLUSIVE (OTHER THAN SECTION 17.555, WHICH IS NOT WAIVED), VERNON’S TEXAS CODE ANNOTATED BUSINESS AND COMMERCE CODE, AND Buyer REPRESENTS TO Seller THAT BUYER WILL PRESENT AT CLOSING THE NECESSARY AND LEGALLY SUFFICIENT WRITTEN WAIVER AND AUTHORITY FROM Buyer’s ATTORNEY(S) TO EFFECTUATE SUCH WAIVER, the form of which waiver is set forth on Schedule 12.8 hereto.

12.9 Waiver of Right to Rescission. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, Seller and Buyer acknowledge that the payment of money, as limited by the terms of this Agreement, shall be adequate compensation for breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained herein or for any other claim arising in connection with or with respect to the transactions contemplated in this Agreement.
