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.

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 211 612005 TAMU-CCICoke Contract

Page 16: Coke Contract. Texas A&M Corpus Christi CocaColaAgreemt 0821

2260, subchapter By of the Government Code. To initiate the process, the contractor shall submit written notice, as required by subchapter By to 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 76th Texas Legislature shall be Judy Harral, Director of Purchasing.
