MISCELLANEOUS

13.1 Written Amendment Required. This Agreement may be amended from time to time by agreement between the Parties hereto; provided, however, that no amendment, modification, or alteration of the terms or provisions hereof shall be binding upon Rangeview or Pure Cycle unless the same is in writing and duly executed by the Parties hereto.

13.2 No Joint Venture or Partnership. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed or interpreted as making the Parties joint venturers or partners. Neither Party shall have the power to bind or obligate the other Party, nor shall either Party hold itself out as having such authority.

{00253021.DOCX v:10 }

13.3 Mutual Indemnity. To the extent permitted by law, each Party hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the other Party and its directors, affiliates, employees, agents and contractors from and against any and all liabilities resulting from any and all claims, demands, suits, actions or other proceedings of whatsoever kind or nature made or brought by any other third party, including attorneys’ fees, expenses and court costs, which directly or indirectly or purportedly arise out of or are in any manner related to or connected with such Party’s performance or failure to perform obligations under this Agreement; provided, however, that a Party shall have no obligation to indemnify and hold harmless the other Party for any liability which was caused or is claimed to have been caused or contributed to in whole or in part by the act or failure to act of the other Party or its directors, affiliates, employees, agents or contractors. Rangeview further agrees to investigate, handle, respond to and to provide defense for and defend against, or at Pure Cycle’s option, to pay the attorneys’ fees and expenses for counsel of Pure Cycle’s choice for any of such liabilities, claims, demands, suits, actions, or other proceedings. Neither Party shall settle any claim in which it seeks indemnification hereunder without prior written approval of the other Party.

13.4 Governmental Immunity. Nothing in this Agreement shall be interpreted or construed as a waiver of any rights, immunities or protections provided to Rangeview by the Colorado Governmental Immunity Act, Section 00-00-000, C.R.S., et seq., as may be amended from time to time.

13.5 Force Majeure. No Party shall be liable for any delay or failure to perform due solely to conditions or events of force majeure, as that term is defined in this Section 13.5; provided that (i) the non-performing Party gives each other Party prompt written notice describing the particulars of the force majeure; (ii) the suspension of performance is of no greater scope and of no longer duration than required by the force majeure event or condition; and (iii) the non-performing Party proceeds with reasonable diligence to remedy its inability to perform and provides weekly progress reports to the other Party describing remedial actions taken.
