Product Liability Claims As soon as it becomes aware, each party will give the other prompt written notice of any defect or alleged defect in a Product, any injury alleged to have occurred as a result of the use or application of a Product, and any circumstances that may give rise to litigation or recall of a Product or regulatory action that may affect the sale or manufacture of a Product, specifying, to the extent the party has such information, the time, place and circumstances thereof and the names and addresses of the persons involved. Each party will also furnish promptly to the other copies of all papers received in respect of any claim, action or suit arising out of such alleged defect, injury or regulatory action.
Third Party Claims Each Notice of Claim given by Acquiror, which involves a third party (a “Third Party Claim”), shall be resolved as follows:
(a) If, within thirty (30) days after a Notice of Claim is delivered to the Seller Representative, (x) the Seller Representative produces a notice of election and (y) such notice of election includes a written acknowledgment from the Seller Representative on behalf of the Seller Guarantors and the Sellers (the “Indemnifying Persons”) that the Indemnifying Persons would be required to indemnify the Acquiror Indemnified Persons for all Damages in connection with such Third Party Claim Notice, the Indemnifying Persons shall have the right, but not the obligation to (i) take control of the defense and investigation of such Third Party Claim, (ii) employ and engage attorneys of their own choice (subject to the approval of Acquiror, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) to handle and defend the same, at the Indemnifying Persons’ sole cost and expense, and (iii) compromise or settle such Third Party Claim, which compromise or settlement shall be made only with the written consent of Acquiror; provided, that such consent will not be required if such settlement includes an unconditional release of the Acquiror Indemnified Persons and provides solely for payment of monetary damages for which the Acquiror Indemnified Persons will be indemnified in full. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnifying Persons shall not have the right to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim if (1) the Indemnifying Persons fail to actively and diligently conduct the defense of the Third Party Claim (after notice and reasonable opportunity to cure), (2) the Acquiror Indemnified Persons have received advice from counsel that an actual or potential conflict exists between the Acquiror Indemnified Persons and the Indemnifying Persons in connection with the defense of such Third Party Claim, (3) such Third Party Claim seeks a finding or admission of a violation of any criminal Law by an Acquiror Indemnified Person, (4) such Third Party Claim seeks an injunction or other equitable remedies in respect of an Acquiror Indemnified Person or its business, (5) such Third Party Claim relates to a Material Customer or Material Supplier, or (6) such Third Party Claim is reasonably likely to result in Damages that, taken with any other then existing claims under this Article 12, would not be not be fully indemnified hereunder.
(b) In the event that the Indemnifying Persons defend the Acquiror Indemnified Persons against a Third Party Claim, the Acquiror Indemnified Persons shall cooperate in all reasonable respects, at the Indemnifying Persons’ request, with the Indemnifying Persons and their attorneys in the investigation, trial and defense of such Third Party Claim and any appeal arising therefrom, including, if appropriate and related to such Third Party Claim, in making any counterclaim against the third party claimant, or any cross complaint against any Person, in each case, at the expense of the Indemnifying Persons. The Acquiror Indemnified Persons may, at their own sole cost and expense, monitor and further participate in (but not control) the investigation, trial and defense of such Third Party Claim and any appeal arising therefrom.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if the Indemnifying Persons do not assume such defense and investigation or does not acknowledge in writing within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Third Party Claim Notice its obligation to indemnify the Acquiror Indemnified Persons against any Damages arising from such Third Party Claim, then the Acquiror Indemnified Persons shall have the right to retain separate counsel of their choosing, defend such Third Party Claim and have the sole power to direct and control such defense (all at the cost and expense of the Indemnifying Persons if it is ultimately determined that the Acquiror Indemnified Persons are entitled to indemnification hereunder); it being understood that the Acquiror Indemnified Persons’ right to indemnification for a Third Party Claim shall not be adversely affected by assuming the defense of such Third Party Claim. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, whether or not the Indemnifying Persons shall have assumed the defense of such Third Party Claim, the Acquiror Indemnified Persons shall not settle, compromise or pay such Third Party Claim for which they seeks indemnification hereunder without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Persons, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
(d) The Acquiror Indemnified Persons and the Indemnifying Persons shall use commercially reasonable efforts to avoid production of confidential information (consistent with Law), and to cause all communications among employees, counsel and others representing any party to a Third Party Claim to be made so as to preserve any applicable attorney-client or work-product privileges.
(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Section 8.1(d) shall exclusively govern S Corporation Tax Proceedings.
Damage to Property Of Others
1. We will pay, at replacement cost, up to $1,000 per "occurrence" for "property damage" to property of others caused by an "insured".
2. We will not pay for "property damage":
a. To the extent of any amount recoverable under Section I;
DAMAGE TO THE PROPERTY If the property is damaged, by fire or other casualty, after the Effective Date and before the Closing, the Seller will bear the risk of loss and the Buyer may cancel this Agreement without liability and the Escrow Money shall be returned to the Buyer. Alternatively, the Buyer will have the option of purchasing the Property at the agreed-upon Purchase Price and the Seller will credit the deductible, if any, and transfer to the Buyer at Closing any insurance proceeds or Seller's claim to any insurance proceeds payable for the damage. The Seller will cooperate with and assist the Buyer in collecting any such proceeds. The Seller shall not settle any insurance claim for damage caused by casualty without the consent of the Buyer.
Third Party Claim A Claim where there is (a) a claim, demand, suit or action by a person who is not a Party, (b) a settlement with, judgment by, or liability to, a person who is not a Party, or (c) a fine or penalty imposed by a person who is not a Party.
Casualty Damage 18.1 Tenant shall give immediate notice (by telephone, confirmed in writing) to Landlord of any damage caused to the Premises by fire or other casualty, and if Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease as provided in Section 18.2, Landlord shall proceed with reasonable diligence and at its sole cost and expense to rebuild and repair the Building and/or the Premises, as the case may be, but Landlord shall not be obligated to expend for such rebuilding and repair any amount in excess of the amount of the insurance proceeds actually recovered by Landlord and made available by any Superior Lessor or Superior Mortgagee as a result of such loss.
18.2 If the Building or the Premises shall be destroyed or substantially damaged by a casualty not covered by Landlord’s insurance, or if 25% or more of the Premises is damaged or rendered untenantable by a casualty covered by Landlord’s insurance, or if the Premises are not affected but 25% of the Building or such portion of the Common Facilities as shall render the Premises or the Building untenantable is damaged or rendered untenantable, then in any such event Landlord may elect either to terminate this Lease or to proceed to rebuild and repair the Premises or that portion of the Building so damaged. Landlord shall give written notice to Tenant of such election within 90 days after the occurrence of such casualty, or within 30 days after the adjustment of the insurance settlement, whichever is later. In the event that such notice of termination shall be given, this Lease shall terminate as of the date provided in such notice of termination (whether or not the Term shall have commenced) with the same effect as if that date were the Expiration Date, without prejudice, however, to Landlord’s rights and remedies against Tenant under the terms of this Lease. If at any time prior to Landlord giving the aforesaid notice of termination or commencing the repair pursuant to Section 18.1, there shall be a Successor Landlord, such Successor Landlord shall have a further period of 60 days from the date of so taking possession to terminate this Lease by notice to Tenant and in the event that such a notice of termination shall be given, this Lease shall terminate as of the date provided in such notice of termination (whether or not the Term shall have been commenced) if Tenant is not occupying any portion of the Premises or otherwise as of the date provided in such notice, with the same effect as if that date were the Expiration Date, without prejudice, however, to Landlord’s rights against Tenant under the terms of this Lease.
18.3 Subject to the provisions of Section 18.1, Landlord’s obligation to rebuild and repair under this Article XVIII shall in any event be limited to restoring Landlord’s Work, as described in the Work Letter, to substantially the condition in which the same existed prior to the casualty, and to proceed, at the sole cost and expense of Tenant, to rebuild, repair and restore Tenant’s Work and any additional Improvements made by Tenant during the Term, all to substantially the condition existing prior to such casualty.
18.4 During the period from the occurrence of the casualty until Landlord’s repairs are completed, the Basic Rent payable pursuant to Article V and Additional Rent payable pursuant to Articles VI and VII shall be abated in that proportion which the Premises area rendered untenantable bears to the entire Premises area; provided, however, there shall be no abatement of any other charges or items of Additional Rent provided for herein to be paid by Tenant; and further provided, however, that should Tenant or anyone claiming through or under Tenant occupy a portion of the Premises during the period the repair work is taking place and prior to the date the Premises are no longer untenantable, the Rent allocable to such reoccupied portion, based upon the proportion which the reoccupied portion of the Premises bears to the total area of the Premises, shall be payable by Tenant from the date of such occupancy.
18.5 Landlord shall not the liable for any inconvenience or annoyance to Tenant or injury to the business of Tenant resulting in any way from any such damage by fire or other casualty or the repair thereof.
18.6 Notwithstanding any of the foregoing provisions of this Article, if, by reason of any negligence or willful act on the part of Tenant or any of its employees, agents, licensees, invitees or contractors, either (a) Landlord or the Superior Lessor or the Superior Mortgagee shall be unable to collect all of the insurance proceeds (including rent insurance proceeds) applicable to damage or destruction of the Premises or the Building or the Project by fire or other casualty or (b) the Premises or the Building or the Project shall be damaged or destroyed or rendered completely or partially untenantable on account of fire or other casualty then, without prejudice to any other remedy which may be available against Tenant, the abatement of rent provided for in Section 18.4 shall not be effective to the extent of the uncollected insurance proceeds.
Non-Third Party Claims Upon discovery of any claim for which Buyer has an indemnification obligation under the terms of Section 12.1 which does not involve a claim by a third party against the Indemnitee, the Indemnitee shall give prompt notice to Buyer of such claim and, in any case, shall give Buyer such notice within 30 days of such discovery. A failure by Indemnitee to timely give the foregoing notice to Buyer shall not excuse Buyer from any indemnification liability except to the extent that Buyer is materially and adversely prejudiced by such failure.
Breach of Contract Claims [Option (Include if University prefers an abbreviated Breach of Contract Claims provision): To the extent that Chapter 2260, Texas Government Code, is applicable to this Agreement and is not preempted by other applicable law, the dispute resolution process provided for in Chapter 2260 and the related rules adopted by the Texas Attorney General pursuant to Chapter 2260, will be used by University and Contractor to attempt to resolve any claim for breach of contract made by Contractor that cannot be resolved in the ordinary course of business. The chief business officer of University will examine Contractor's claim and any counterclaim and negotiate with Contractor in an effort to resolve the claims. The parties specifically agree (i) neither execution of this Agreement by University nor any other conduct, action or inaction of any representative of University relating to this Agreement constitutes or is intended to constitute a waiver of University’s or the state's sovereign immunity to suit; and (ii) University has not waived its right to seek redress in the courts.]
19.1 To the extent that Chapter 2260, Texas Government Code, as it may be amended from time to time (Chapter 2260), is applicable to this Agreement and is not preempted by other Applicable Laws, the dispute resolution process provided for in Chapter 2260 will be used, as further described herein, by University and Contractor to attempt to resolve any claim for breach of contract made by Contractor:
12.19.1.1 Contractor’s claims for breach of this Agreement that the parties cannot resolve pursuant to other provisions of this Agreement or in the ordinary course of business will be submitted to the negotiation process provided in subchapter B of Chapter 2260. To initiate the process, Contractor will submit written notice, as required by subchapter B of Chapter 2260, to University in accordance with the notice provisions in this Agreement. Contractor's notice will specifically state that the provisions of subchapter B of Chapter 2260 are being invoked, the date and nature of the event giving rise to the claim, the specific contract provision that University allegedly breached, the amount of damages Contractor seeks, and the method used to calculate the damages. Compliance by Contractor with subchapter B of Chapter 2260 is a required prerequisite to Contractor's filing of a contested case proceeding under subchapter C of Chapter 2260. The chief business officer of University, or another officer of University as may be designated from time to time by University by written notice to Contractor in accordance with the notice provisions in this Agreement, will examine Contractor's claim and any counterclaim and negotiate with Contractor in an effort to resolve the claims.
12.19.1.2 If the parties are unable to resolve their disputes under Section 12.19.1.1, the contested case process provided in subchapter C of Chapter 2260 is Contractor’s sole and exclusive process for seeking a remedy for any and all of Contractor's claims for breach of this Agreement by University.
12.19.1.3 Compliance with the contested case process provided in subchapter C of Chapter 2260 is a required prerequisite to seeking consent to xxx from the Legislature under Chapter 107,
Damage to the Premises If the Premises shall, without fault or neglect on the part of Tenant, its agents, employees, invitees, customers or employees, be damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty covered by standard policies of fire and extended coverage insurance and such damage or destruction (exclusive of Tenant’s leasehold improvements) could reasonably be repaired within ninety (90) working days from the happening thereof, then Landlord shall proceed with all reasonable speed to repair such damage or destruction, exclusive of Tenant’s leasehold improvements which shall be the sole responsibility of Tenant. If the Premises cannot reasonably be restored within said ninety (90) day period, then Landlord may, but shall not be required to, elect to restore the Premises. If Landlord does not elect to restore the Premises, then this Lease shall terminate as of the date of such damage or destruction and both parties shall be released from further liability hereunder, without prejudice, however, to any rights accruing to either party prior to the date of such damage or destruction. If Landlord elects or is required to restore the Premises and promptly commences and thereafter diligently pursues such restoration, then this Lease shall not terminate, notwithstanding that the actual time required for such repairs or restoration may exceed that contemplated by the parties and Tenant shall be entitled to a temporary reduction in Fixed Minimum Rent, as determined by Landlord, corresponding to the time during which and that portion of the Premises of which Tenant is deprived of possession on account of such damage or destruction or the repair or restoration thereof undertaken by Landlord. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall have the right to receive the full amount of the proceeds of any business interruption insurance for the undiminished Fixed Minimum Rent and there shall be no reduction in Fixed Minimum Rent if such damage or destruction was the result of the fault or neglect of Tenant, its agents, employees, invitees, customers and employees. Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, Landlord shall not be obligated to repair the Premises and Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease if the Premises are substantially damaged or destroyed by fire or any other cause during the last two (2) years of the term of this Lease or if the Building (whether or not Premises are damaged or destroyed) or the Common Areas are substantially destroyed by fire or other cause. If the damage or destruction of the Premises is so minor that the Premises remain fit for occupancy, then Landlord shall repair such damage or destruction as promptly as reasonably possible and there shall be no abatement of Fixed Minimum Rent as a result thereof.
Claim A demand or assertion by the Owner or the Contractor seeking an adjustment of the Contract Sum or Contract Time, or both, or other relief with respect to the terms of the Contract. The term "Claim" also includes other disputes and matters in question between the Owner and the Contractor arising out of or relating to the Contract. The responsibility to substantiate a Claim shall rest with the party making the Claim. A demand for money or services by a third party, including a Trade Contractor, Supplier, or subcontractor to the Contractor, is ipso facto not a Claim against the Owner.
