party will provide proof of the required insurance.

The Texas A&M University System is self-insured for Workers'


Compensation Insurance provided by Chapter 502 of the Texas Labor Code.
Benefits are provided in accordance with the provisions of that law.

The Texas A&M University System is insured under an automobile liability


policy with a bodily injury limit of $250,000 for each person, $500,000 for
each accident and property damage limit of $100,000 each accident for all
owned vehicles.

The liability of the Texas A&M University System for personal injury and
property damage is controlled by the Texas Tort Claims Act, V.T.C.A. Civil
Practice and Remedies Code, Chapter 101, Section 101.201. The limits of
liability are $250,000 for each person, $500,000 for each single occurrence
for bodily injury or death and $100,000 for each single occurrence for injury
to or destruction of property. Following this limited exposure, the System as
a state agency, is protected by the doctrine of sovereign immunity, and as
such, is self insured up to the aforementioned limits.

16. DISPUTE RESOLUTION

"The dispute resolution process provided for in Chapter 2260 of the Government
Code shall be used, as further described herein, by Texas A&M University-Corpus
Christi and to attempt to resolve any claim for breach of contract made by the
contractor:

A claim for breach of this contract that the parties cannot resolve in the ordinary
course of business shall be submitted to the negotiation process provided in Chapter

Final 211612005
TAMU-CCICoke Contract
2260, subchapter Byof the Government Code. To initiate the process, the contractor
shall submit written notice, as required by subchapter Byto the Director of
Purchasing. Said notice shall specifically state that the provisions of Chapter 2260,
subchapter B, are being invoked. A copy of the notice shall also be given to all other
representatives of Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi and the contractor
otherwise entitled to notice under the parties' contract. Compliance by the contractor
with subchapter B is a condition precedent to the filing of a contested case
proceeding under Chapter 2260, subchapter C, of the Government Code.

The contested case process provided in Chapter 2260, subchapter C, of the


Government Code is the contractor's sole and exclusive process for seeking a
remedy for any and all alleged breaches of contract by Texas A&M University-
Corpus Christi if the parties are unable to resolve their disputes under subparagraph
(A) of this paragraph.

Compliance with the contested case process provided in subchapter C is a condition


precedent to seeking consent to sue from the Legislature under Chapter 107 of the
Civil Practices and Remedies Code. Neither the execution of this contract by Texas
A&M University-Corpus Christi nor any other conduct of any representative of
Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi relating to the contract shall be considered a
waiver of sovereign immunity to suit.

The submission, processing and resolution of the contractor's claim is governed by


the published rules adopted, by the Attorney General pursuant to Chapter 2260, as
currently effective, hereafter enacted or subsequently amended.

Neither the occurrence of an event nor the pendency of a claim constitutes grounds
for the suspension of performance by the contractor, in whole or in part.

The designated individual responsible on behalf of Texas A&M University-Corpus


Christi for examining any claim or counterclaim and conducting any negotiations
related thereto as required under $2260.052 of H.B. of the 76thTexas Legislature
shall be Judy Harral, Director of Purchasing.

17. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

17.1 Entire Agreement, This Agreement and its Exhibits contain all the terms
and conditions agreed on by the parties with respect to this Agreement's
subject matter. This Agreement does not invalidate or amend any other
agreement between TAMU-CC and Company with respect to other subject
matter.

17.2 Modification. This Agreement can be modified or changed only by a


written instrument and signed by both parties.

17.3 Retained Rights. This Agreement does not give any party any interest in
or the right to use the trademarks of another party except as specifically
authorized in this Agreement. Even if use of a party's trademarks is
specifically authorized, the trademarks remain solely that party's property,
and no joint ownership can arise because of the other party's use under this
Agreement. This Agreement does not make any party the agent of another
party, nor does it create any partnership of joint venture between TAMU-CC
and the Company.

17.4 Release, Discharge, or Waiver. A party's release, discharge, or waiver


of any of this Agreement's terms or conditions is effective only if in writing
and signed by that party. A party's specific waiver does not constitute a
waiver by that party of any earlier, concurrent or later breach or default. No
waiver occurs if a party either fails to insist on strict performance of this
Agreement's terms or pays or accepts money under this Agreement with
knowledge of a breach.

17.5 Severability. If any portion of this Agreement is severed-that is, held


indefinite, invalid, or otherwise unenforceable - the rest of this Agreement
continues in full force. But if the severance of a provision affects a party's
rights, the severance does not deprive that party of its available remedies,
including the right to terminate this Agreement.

17.6 Assignment,

1By TAMU-CC. Because this Agreement is for rights unique to


TAMU-CC, TAMU-CC may not assign any of TAMU-CC's rights
or obligations without Company's prior written consent. None of
TAMU-CC's rights or obligations may be assigned by operation of
law without Company's prior written consent. Any assignment
that violates the terms of this provision is void.

obligations under this Agreement.
