Such waiver must be in a writing signed by WENTWORTH ENERGY. The Shareholder acknowledges that the waiver by WENTWORTH ENERGY of any condition or any part of any condition shall constitute a waiver only of such condition or such part of such condition, as the case may be, and shall not constitute a waiver of any covenant, agreement, representation or warranty made by the Shareholder herein that corresponds or is related to such condition or such part of such condition, as the case may be. If any of the conditions contained in Section 4.3 hereof are not fulfilled or complied with as herein provided, WENTWORTH ENERGY may, at or before the Closing Date at its option, rescind this Agreement by notice in writing to the Shareholder and in such event WENTWORTH ENERGY shall be released from all obligations hereunder and, unless the condition or conditions which

SECTION 5. COVENANTS
5.1
Corporate Examinations and Investigations. Prior to the Closing Date, the parties acknowledge that they have been entitled, through their employees and representatives, to make such investigation of the assets, properties, business and operations, books, records and financial condition of the other as they each may reasonably require. No investigations, by a party hereto shall, however, diminish or waive any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of the party under this Agreement.
5.2
Further Assurances. The parties shall execute such documents and other papers and take such further actions as may be reasonably required or desirable to carry out the provisions hereof and the transactions contemplated hereby. Each such party shall use its best efforts to fulfill or obtain the fulfillment of the conditions to the Closing, including, without limitation, the execution and delivery of any documents or other papers, the execution and delivery of which are necessary or appropriate to the Closing.
5.3
Confidentiality. In the event the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are not consummated, WENTWORTH ENERGY and the Shareholder agree to keep confidential any information disclosed to each other in connection therewith for a period of one (1) year from the date hereof; provided, however, such obligation shall not apply to information which:
(i)
at the time of the disclosure was public knowledge;
(ii) after the time of disclosure becomes public knowledge (except due to the action of the receiving party); or
(iii) the receiving party had within its possession at the time of disclosure; or
(iv) is ordered disclosed by a Court of proper jurisdiction.
SECTION 6. SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
Notwithstanding any right of either party to investigate the affairs of the other party and its Shareholders, each party has the right to rely fully upon representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the other party and its Shareholders contained in this Agreement or in any document delivered to one by the other or any of their representatives, in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. All such representations, warranties, covenants
and agreements shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and the closing hereunder for one year following the Closing.
SECTION 7. INDEMNIFICATION
For a period of one (1) year from the Closing, the Shareholder agrees to indemnify and hold harmless WENTWORTH ENERGY, its officers, directors and principal shareholders, and WENTWORTH ENERGY agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Shareholder, at all times up to one (1) year after the Closing Date against and in respect of any liability, damage, or deficiency, all actions, suits, proceedings, demands, assessments, judgments, costs and expenses, including attorneys' fees, incident to any of the foregoing, resulting from any material misrepresentation made by any indemnifying party to an indemnified party, an indemnifying party's breach of a covenant or warranty or an indemnifying party's nonfulfillment of any agreement hereunder, or from any material misrepresentation or omission from any certificate, financial statement or tax return furnished or to be furnished hereunder for any period up to and including 120 days after execution of this Agreement. This provision shall not be construed to be a waiver of any lawful indemnification provision contained in the charter or Bylaws, as permitted by Federal or State law.
If the indemnified party receives written notice of the commencement of any legal action, suit or proceeding with respect to which the indemnifying party is or may be obligated to provide indemnification pursuant to this Section, the indemnified party shall, within 30 days of the receipt of such written notice, give the indemnifying party written notice thereof (a “Claim Notice”). Failure to give such Claim Notice within such 30 day period shall not constitute a waiver by the indemnified party or its rights to indemnity hereunder with respect to such action, suit or proceeding unless the defense thereof is prejudiced thereby. Upon receipt by the indemnifying party of a Claim Notice from the indemnified party with respect to any claim for indemnification which is based upon a claim made by a third party (“Third Party Claim”), the indemnifying party may assume the defense of the Third Party Claim with counsel of its own choosing, as described below. The indemnified party shall cooperate in the defense of the Third Party Claim and shall furnish such records, information and testimony and attend all such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials and appeals as may be reasonably required in connection therewith. The indemnified party shall have the right to employ its own counsel in any such action, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the indemnified party unless the indemnifying party shall not have with reasonable promptness employed counsel to assume the defense of the Third Party Claim, in which event such fees and expenses shall be borne solely by the indemnifying party. The indemnifying party shall not satisfy or settle any Third Party Claim for which indemnification has been sought and is available hereunder, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, which consent shall not be delayed or which shall not be required if the indemnified party is granted a release in
connection therewith. If the indemnifying party shall fail with reasonable promptness to defend such Third Party Claim, the indemnified party may defend, satisfy or settle the Third Party Claim at the expense of the indemnifying party and the indemnifying party shall pay to the indemnified party the amount of such Loss within ten days after written demand thereof. The indemnification provisions hereof shall survive the termination of this Agreement. No indemnification to the other party shall become due until there is an agreed settlement or a final judgment in a court of competent jurisdiction.
