I.		Notwithstanding the broad mutual releases in paragraphs II(C)-(H) above, the parties agree that the Lawsuit will be abated and not dismissed. This abatement mechanism is for the sole purpose of providing access to the 234th Judicial District Court of Harris

This abatement mechanism in no way acts as a modification of the broad mutual releases in paragraphs II(C) — (H), for acts occurring on or prior to the date of this Settlement Agreement. If the merger occurs, JKA shall upon the effective date of the merger file notices of non-suit and dismissal with prejudice as to all defendants in the Lawsuit. To the extent the merger does not occur due to any alleged breach of the SARMA by any party relating to acts occurring after the date of this Settlement Agreement, then the parties may file any instruments available to them under Texas law and procedural rules so to adjudicate such alleged breaches. In the event that no party has filed such an instrument on or before February 1, 2010, then on that date, JKA shall file a notice of non-suit with prejudice. All parties agree that any claim alleging a breach of the SARMA must be filed by February 1, 2010, and all parties expressly acknowledge and agree that the statutory limitations period for bringing any claim alleging a breach of the SARMA shall expire on February 1, 2010.
J.		If one or more disputes arise with regard to the interpretation or performance of any part of this Settlement Agreement while the Lawsuit is still pending, any such dispute will be resolved exclusively by the 234th Judicial District Court of Harris County, Texas. If one or more disputes arise with regard to the interpretation or performance of any part of this Settlement Agreement while the Lawsuit is no longer still pending, then just as with the SARMA, (i) the Parties irrevocably and unconditionally consent and submit to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of either the state courts located in Harris County, Texas or the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas and (ii) each of the Parties irrevocably consents to service of process by first class certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid to the counsel signing below.
K.		The Parties acknowledge and agree that neither party has admitted nor shall be construed as having admitted any liability to the other, nor any violation of rights, law statute, duty or contract. The Parties deny any such admission, liability or violation.
L.		This Settlement Agreement, along with the SARMA and its own exhibits, set forth the entire fully integrated agreement between the Parties and fully supersedes any and all prior written or oral agreements, understandings, promises, or representations between the Parties.
M.		The Parties jointly drafted this Settlement Agreement and it shall not be construed against either party.
N.		This Settlement Agreement was negotiated and drafted in Texas, with the involvement of Texas counsel. This Settlement Agreement shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with Texas law.
O.		This Settlement Agreement may be signed in counterparts, and the signature pages may be exchanged via fax or pdf/email.
