This indemnification shall include all crop and wildlife damage resulting from water level variations as controlled by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.

Disputes.

Should any disputes arise with respect to this Lease, the Landlord and the Tenant agree to act immediately to resolve any such disputes. Time is of the essence in the resolution of disputes.

This paragraph shall not be construed to abrogate provisions of IC § 4-6-2-11 in situations where dispute resolutions efforts lead to a compromise of claims in favor of the State as described in that statute.
