(c) The Buyer agrees to save harmless, defend and indemnify the Seller and the Parent and their respective officers, directors, agents, attorneys, accountants, or other representatives against, and hold them harmless from any and all liabilities, of every kind, nature and description, fixed or contingent (including, without limitation, reasonable counsel fees, expert witness fees, and expenses in connection with any action, claim or proceeding relating to such liabilities) arising out of a breach of any of the representations and warranties or covenants contained herein and arising out of a breach of any of the representations and warranties contained in the 1999 Agreement to the extent that the Buyer's indemnity obligations for the same are not released pursuant to the Mutual Release described in Section 2.06 above. 7.03 Injunctive Relief. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 7.04 ----------------- hereof, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Seller or the Parent, on the one hand, or the Buyer on the other hand, of the provisions of this Agreement, the Buyer on the one hand, or the Seller on the other hand, shall be entitled in order to maintain the status quo ante pending the outcome of any arbitration pursuant to Section 7.04 hereof to seek an injunction or similar equitable relief restraining the other party or the Seller, as the case may be, from committing or continuing any such breach or threatened breach or granting specific performance of any act required to be performed by the other party or the Seller, as the case may be, under any such provision. The parties hereto hereby consent to the jurisdiction of the federal courts located in San Antonio, Texas and the Texas state courts located in the City of San Antonio for any proceedings under this Section 7.03. The parties hereto agree that the availability of arbitration in Section 7.04 hereof shall not be used by any party as grounds for the dismissal of any injunctive actions instituted by the Buyer pursuant to this Section 7.03. 7.04. Dispute Resolution - Arbitration. The parties shall attempt -------------------------------- amicably to resolve disagreements by negotiating with each other. In the event that the matter is not amicably resolved through negotiation, any controversy, dispute or disagreement arising out of or relating to this Agreement (a "Controversy") shall be submitted to final binding arbitration. The arbitration proceedings shall be conducted by a single arbitrator (the "Arbitrator") in San Antonio, Texas pursuant to the rules of the American Arbitration Association (the "Rules"). In the event that the parties cannot agree as to the Arbitrator to be named, each party to the Controversy shall appoint one arbitrator and those two arbitrators shall select the Arbitrator. 7.05. Procedure. If any party shall desire relief of any nature --------- whatsoever from any other party as a result of any Controversy, such party will initiate such arbitration proceedings within a reasonable time, but in no event more than one (1) year after the facts underlying said Controversy first arise or become known to the party seeking relief (whichever is later). The failure of such party to institute such proceedings within said period shall be deemed a full waiver of any claim for such relief. Arbitrator may award the prevailing party its costs for the arbitration proceeding, including its reasonable attorneys' fees and costs. The parties agree that the decision and award of the Arbitrator shall be final and conclusive upon the parties, in lieu of all other legal, equitable or judicial proceedings between them, and that no appeal or judicial review of the award or decision of the Arbitrator shall be taken, but that such award or decision may be entered as a judgment and enforced in any court having jurisdiction over the party against whom enforcement is sought. 7.06. Limitation on Claims. The Buyer shall not be entitled to make any -------------------- claim under this Article VII unless and until the amount of such claim is reasonably believed by the Buyer to be $10,000 or more or the aggregate of all claims for misrepresentation or breach of warranty made by the claimant, shall exceed $20,000, provided, however, that the limitation described in this paragraph shall not be applicable to the Seller's and Parent's Tax indemnification obligation described in Section 7.02(b) above or for Seller's and Parents indemnification obligations arising out of a breach of the representation set forth in Section 3.20 above. A single claim which exceeds $10,000 may be collected from the first dollar owed through the total amount of such claim. Multiple claims each of which is less than $10,000 but which in the aggregate exceed $20,000 may be collected from dollar $10,001 through the total amount of such claim. The aggregate obligation of the Seller to indemnify Buyer under this Agreement shall be limited to the amount of the Purchase Price received by Seller pursuant to this Agreement. 7.07. Settlement of Third Party Claims. Should any claim be made by a -------------------------------- person or entity not a party to this Agreement with respect to any matter covered by the indemnities contained in this Article VII, including without limitation, any claim by a governmental body in connection with the audit of any federal, state or local tax return, the party or parties being indemnified (the "Indemnified Party"), on not less than 30 days' notice to the party making the indemnification (the "Indemnifying Party"), may make settlement (including payment in full) of such claim and such settlement shall be binding upon all parties hereto for the purposes hereof, unless within said 30-day period the Indemnifying Party shall have requested the Indemnified Party to contest such claim at the expense of the Indemnifying Party. In such event, the Indemnified Party shall, upon posting of the bond or alternative security described below, comply with such request and the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to direct the defense of such claim or any litigation based thereon at the Indemnifying Party's expense through counsel of its own choosing on condition that such counsel agrees to look solely to the Indemnifying Party for payment of its fees. If the Indemnifying Party does retain counsel on such terms, then the Indemnified Party shall not be entitled to indemnification under the next sentence of this paragraph for the cost of any separate counsel it may retain in the matter. In the event the Indemnifying Party shall so request the Indemnified Party to contest such claim, the Indemnifying Party shall first furnish to the Indemnified Party as indemnity against the contested claim a bond in the amount of the third party claim plus the amount of any expenses reasonably likely to be incurred by the Indemnified Party in contesting, defending and litigating the same. In no event shall the Indemnifying Party or its counsel, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, settle or compromise any claim or consent to the entry of any judgment which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or the plaintiff to the Indemnified Party a release from all liability in respect of such claim. 7.08.
