AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER

This AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of February 8, 2007 by and among Oakmont Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Oakmont”), OAKMONT KANSAS, INC., a Kansas corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Oakmont (“New Oakmont”), BROOKE CREDIT CORPORATION, a Kansas corporation (the “Company”), and BROOKE CORPORATION, a Kansas corporation and majority stockholder of the Company (“Parent”).

R E C I T A L S

A. In connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Boards of Directors of Oakmont and New Oakmont intend to cause Oakmont to merge with and into New Oakmont (the “Reincorporation Merger”).

B. Oakmont, New Oakmont, Parent and the Company desire to enter this Agreement pursuant to which, following the Reincorporation Merger, the Company will merge with and into New Oakmont.

C. The Boards of Directors of Oakmont, New Oakmont, Parent and the Company have each determined that it is advisable and in the best interests of Oakmont, New Oakmont, Parent and the Company, and their respective stockholders, that the Company be merged with and into New Oakmont.

D. The Boards of Directors of Oakmont, New Oakmont, Parent and the Company have each unanimously approved this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.

E. The Boards of Directors of Oakmont, New Oakmont and the Company have agreed to recommend that their respective stockholders adopt and approve this Agreement.

F. For federal income tax purposes, it is intended that these proposed transactions, individually and collectively, shall qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Code”), and this Agreement shall constitute a plan of reorganization pursuant to Section 368 of the Code.

A G R E E M E N T

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals and the respective covenants, agreements, representations and warranties contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

1. MERGER.

1.1. The Merger. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein and the applicable provisions of the KGCL, and on the basis of the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained herein, as of the Effective Time, the Company shall be merged with and into New Oakmont (the “Merger”), the separate corporate existence

of the Company shall cease and New Oakmont shall continue as the surviving corporation. New Oakmont, as the surviving corporation of the Merger, may be hereinafter referred to as the “Surviving Corporation.”

1.2. Filing of Certificates of Merger. Subject to the conditions set forth herein, the Company and New Oakmont shall as soon as possible on the Closing Date or such other date as New Oakmont and Parent shall agree, cause the Merger to be consummated by filing with the Secretary of State of the State of Kansas a duly executed Certificate of Merger in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Oakmont and Parent.

1.3. Effect of Merger. At the Effective Time, the effect of the Merger shall be as provided herein and the applicable provisions of the KGCL. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, all of the properties, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of the Company and New Oakmont shall vest in the Surviving Corporation and all of the debts, liabilities, duties and obligations of the Company and New Oakmont shall become the debts, liabilities, duties and obligations of the Surviving Corporation.

1.4. Merger Consideration. The aggregate consideration to be paid by New Oakmont to Parent and any other holder of capital stock of the Company as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (the “Company Stockholders”) in the Merger (the “Merger Consideration”) shall be the number of shares of common stock of New Oakmont, $0.01 par value per share (the “New Oakmont Stock”) equal to (a) the Closing Payment, plus (b) the Earnout Payments, if any, determined and paid as set forth in this Article 1.

1.5. Effect on Stock. Upon the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at the Effective Time, as a result of the Merger and this Agreement and without the need for any further action on the part of New Oakmont, the Company or any of their respective stockholders, the following shall occur:

1.5.(a) Conversion of Company Stock. Each share of the issued and outstanding common stock of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be automatically converted into the right to receive, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Per Share Consideration. Until properly delivered to New Oakmont or the Surviving Corporation pursuant to Section 1.9, any certificate evidencing shares of common stock of the Company (a “Certificate”) shall be deemed for all purposes to evidence only the right to receive the consideration described in this Section 1.5(a).

1.5.(b) Conversion of New Oakmont Stock. Each share of the issued and outstanding common stock of New Oakmont immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be automatically converted into one (1) share of the validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable authorized common stock of the Surviving Corporation. Each stock certificate evidencing the common stock of New Oakmont shall evidence ownership of such shares of common stock of the Surviving Corporation.

1.6. Company Warrants. At the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall assume and cause to be performed all obligations of the Company under the Company Warrants. Each Company Warrant so assumed by the Surviving Corporation under this

Agreement will continue to have, and be subject to, the same terms and conditions set forth in the applicable warrant agreement immediately prior to the Effective Time, except that each outstanding Company Warrant will be exercisable (or will become exercisable in accordance with its terms), for shares of New Oakmont common stock in the same proportion that the Company Stockholders receive in the aggregate for their shares in the Merger (including, for the avoidance of doubt, in respect of the Closing Payment and each Earnout Payment, if any).

1.7. Organizational Documents. As of the Effective Time, the Articles of Incorporation and the Bylaws of New Oakmont, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall become the Articles of Incorporation and the Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation; provided, however, that Article I of the Articles of Incorporation shall be amended to read as follows: “The name of the corporation is Brooke Credit Corporation”.

1.8. Officers and Directors. As of the Effective Time, the officers and directors of New Oakmont shall become the officers and directors of the Surviving Corporation and, subject to Section 9.3(f), shall serve as such until the expiration of their term of office or their earlier death, resignation or removal.

1.9. Exchange of Certificates. Upon surrender of a Certificate for cancellation, together with a letter of transmittal, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, and such other documents as may reasonably be required by New Oakmont, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor an amount to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 1.5(a) and the Certificate so surrendered shall be canceled.

1.10. Earnout Payments.

1.10.(a) The Merger Consideration shall include, if earned, up to two additional payments (each, an “Earnout Payment”, and collectively, the “Earnout Payments”) based upon the Surviving Corporation’s Adjusted Earnings as follows:

(i) Fiscal Year 2007. Subject to the Surviving Corporation’s achievement of Adjusted Earnings of at least $15,000,000 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, the Merger Consideration shall include the First Earnout Shares.

(ii) Fiscal Year 2008. Subject to the Surviving Corporation’s achievement of Adjusted Earnings of at least $19,000,000 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, the Merger Consideration shall include the Second Earnout Shares.

1.10.(b) The Surviving Corporation shall maintain separate books and records, including but not limited to, balance sheets and related statements of income and cash flows, so as to make calculation of Adjusted Earnings feasible and verifiable.

1.10.(c) As soon as practicable and in any event within 90 days after December 31 of 2007 and 2008, the Surviving Corporation shall provide to Parent a statement of the Adjusted Earnings of the Surviving Corporation for the applicable period (the “Earnout Statement”), as verified by the Surviving Corporation’s independent auditors and reasonably approved by both Oakmont Directors. The Surviving Corporation shall provide to Parent and its representatives copies of such records and work papers created in connection with preparation of the Earnout Statement as are reasonably requested to support such Earnout Statement. Parent and its representatives shall have the right to inspect the Surviving Corporation’s books and records during business hours upon reasonable prior notice and solely for purposes reasonably related to the determination of Adjusted Earnings.

1.10.(d) Upon receipt of each such Earnout Statement, Parent shall be entitled to object to the calculation of Adjusted Earnings by delivery to the Surviving Corporation of a notice of objections thereto (a “Notice of Objection”), in reasonable detail describing the nature of the disagreement asserted. If Parent fails to deliver a Notice of Objection to the Surviving Corporation within twenty (20) days following receipt of the Earnout Statement, the determination of Adjusted Earnings by the Surviving Corporation as set forth in the Earnout Statement shall be final and binding on the parties hereto. If Parent and the Surviving Corporation are unable to reconcile their differences in writing within twenty (20) days after a Notice of Objection is delivered by Parent, the Independent Accountants shall be selected and the items in dispute shall be submitted to the Independent Accountants within ten (10) days thereafter. The determination of Independent Accountants shall be set forth in writing and shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties, and the fees, costs and expenses of such Independent Accountants shall be paid by the non-prevailing party. The Independent Accountants shall consider only the items in dispute and shall be instructed to act within thirty (30) days (or such longer period as Parent and the Surviving Corporation may agree) to resolve all items in dispute. If Parent in its discretion gives written notification of its acceptance of an Earnout Statement prior to the end of such 30-day period, such Earnout Statement shall thereupon become binding, final and conclusive upon all the parties hereto.

1.11. No Fractional Shares. No certificates or scrip representing fractional shares of New Oakmont Stock shall be issued upon the surrender for exchange of Certificates, and such fractional share interests will not entitle the owner thereof to vote or to any rights of a stockholder of the Surviving Corporation. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, each holder of shares of the Company exchanged for shares of New Oakmont Stock pursuant to the Merger who would otherwise have been entitled to receive a fraction of a share of New Oakmont Stock (after taking into account all Certificates delivered by such holder) shall receive, in lieu thereof, cash (without interest) in an amount equal to such fractional part of a share of New Oakmont Stock multiplied by $6.00.

1.12. Further Action. If at any time after the Effective Time, any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement and to vest the Surviving Corporation with full right, title and possession to all assets, property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of the Company, the directors and officers of the

Company and New Oakmont are fully authorized in the name of their respective corporations or otherwise to take, and shall take, all such lawful and necessary action.

2. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF PARENT AND COMPANY.

Parent and the Company, jointly and severally, make the following representations and warranties to Oakmont and New Oakmont, subject to the exceptions set forth in the disclosure schedule attached hereto (the “Disclosure Schedule”).

2.1. Corporate.

2.1.(c) Qualification. The Company is duly licensed or qualified to do business as a foreign company, and is in good standing, in each jurisdiction wherein the character of the properties owned or leased by it, or the nature of its business, makes such licensing or qualification necessary, except for such jurisdictions in which the failure to be so qualified would not have a Company Material Adverse Effect and would not materially delay the Closing or materially and adversely affect the ability of the parties to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.

2.1.(d) No Subsidiaries. Except as set forth in Section 2.1(d) of the Disclosure Schedule, the Company does not own, directly or indirectly, any voting securities or other equity interests in, or have the right to control, any other Person.

2.2. Authority. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other documents and instruments to be executed and delivered by Parent and the Company pursuant hereto and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby have been duly authorized by all necessary parties. No other or further act or proceeding on the part of Parent or the Company is necessary to authorize this Agreement or the other documents and instruments to be executed and delivered by Parent or the Company pursuant hereto or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. This Agreement constitutes, and when executed and delivered, the other documents and instruments to be executed and delivered by Parent and the Company pursuant hereto will constitute, legal, valid and binding agreements of Parent and the Company, enforceable in accordance with their respective terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement,

moratorium or similar Laws relating to or limiting creditors’ rights generally or by equitable principles relating to enforceability.

2.3. Capitalization.

Section 2.3 of the Disclosure Schedule contains a correct and complete list of each stockholder of the Company and the number of shares held by each. Except as set forth in Section 2.3 of the Disclosure Schedule, there are no outstanding subscription, option, warrant, call rights, preemptive rights or other agreements or commitments obligating the Company to issue, sell, deliver or transfer (including any rights of conversion or exchange under any outstanding security or other instrument) any economic, voting, ownership or any other type of interest or security in the Company.

2.4. No Violation. Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the other documents and instruments to be executed and delivered by Parent and the Company pursuant hereto, nor the consummation by Parent and the Company of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (a) will violate any applicable Laws, (b) will require any authorization, consent, approval, exemption or other action by or notice to any Governmental Authority, except for applicable requirements, if any, of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), state securities and “blue sky” Laws, and the rules and regulations thereunder, or (c) subject to obtaining the consents referred to in Section 2.4 of the Disclosure Schedule, will violate or conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event which, with notice or lapse of time, or both, would constitute a default) under, or will result in the termination of, or accelerate the performance required by, or result in the creation of any Encumbrance upon any of the assets of the Company under, any term or provision of the Organizational Documents of Parent or the Company or of any contract, commitment, understanding, arrangement, agreement or restriction of any kind or character to which Parent or the Company is a party or by which Parent or the Company or any of its assets or properties may be bound or affected, except, in the case of clause (c), for such violations, conflicts, breaches, losses, defaults, terminations, cancellations, accelerations or Encumbrances that, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect.

2.5. Financial Statements. The Company has previously made available to Oakmont true and complete copies of the financial statements of the Company consisting of (a) balance sheets of the Company as of December 31, 2003, 2004, and 2005, and the related statements of income and cash flows for the years then ended (including the notes contained therein or annexed thereto), which financial statements have been reported on, and are accompanied by, the signed, unqualified opinions of independent auditors for the Company for such years, and (b) an unaudited balance sheet of the Company as of September 30, 2006 (the “Recent Company Balance Sheet”), and the related unaudited statements of income for the period then ended and for the corresponding period of the

prior year (including the notes and schedules contained therein or annexed thereto). All of such financial statements (including all notes and schedules contained therein or annexed thereto) are true, complete and accurate, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP (except, in the case of unaudited statements, for the absence of footnote disclosure) applied on a consistent basis, have been prepared in accordance with the books and records of the Company, and fairly present, in accordance with GAAP, the assets, liabilities and financial position, the results of operations and cash flows of the Company as of the dates and for the years and periods indicated. The books of account and other financial records of the Company are in all material respects complete and correct and do not contain or reflect any material inaccuracies or discrepancies.

2.6. Tax Matters.

2.6.(a) Provision For Taxes. The provision made for Taxes on the Recent Company Balance Sheet is sufficient for the payment of all Taxes (and any interest and penalties) and assessments, whether or not disputed at the date of the Recent Company Balance Sheet, and for all years and periods prior thereto. Since the date of the Recent Company Balance Sheet, the Company has not incurred any Taxes other than Taxes incurred in the ordinary course of business consistent in type and amount with past practices of the Company.

2.6.(b) Tax Returns Filed. All Tax Returns required to be filed by or on behalf of the Company, or the Affiliated Group for each period for which the Company was a member of the Affiliated Group, have been timely filed and when filed were true and correct in all material respects, and the Taxes due thereon were paid or adequately accrued. The Company has duly withheld and paid all Taxes which it is required to withhold and pay relating to salaries and other compensation heretofore paid to the employees of the Company.

2.6.(c) Tax Audits. No Tax Returns of the Company, or the Affiliated Group for each period for which the Company was a member of the Affiliated Group, have been audited by the Internal Revenue Service or any other Governmental Authority, and the Company or the Affiliated Group, as applicable, has not received from the Internal Revenue Service or any other Governmental Authority any notice of underpayment of Taxes or other deficiency which has not been paid nor any objection to any Tax Return filed by the Company or the Affiliated Group, as applicable, except where any such deficiency, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect. There are no outstanding agreements or waivers extending the statutory period of limitations applicable to any Tax Return of the Company or the Affiliated Group.

2.6.(d) Consolidated Group. During the past ten years the Company has not been a member of an affiliated group of companies required to file consolidated Tax Returns other than the Affiliated Group. The Company has no Liability for Taxes of any Person under Treas. Reg. Section 1.1502-6 (or any similar provision of state, local or foreign Laws) other than other members of the Affiliated Group.

2.6.(e) Other. Except as set forth in Section 2.6(e) of the Disclosure Schedule, the Company has not (i) applied for any tax ruling, (ii) entered into a closing agreement with any taxing authority, (iii) filed an election under Section 338(g) or Section 338(h)(10) of the Code (nor has a deemed election under Section 338(e) of the Code occurred), (iv) made any payments, or been a party to an agreement (including this Agreement) that under any circumstances could obligate it to make payments that will not be deductible because of Section 280G of the Code, or (v) been a party to any tax allocation or tax sharing agreement.

2.7. Finance Company Representations.

2.7.(a) Compliance with Anti-Money Laundering Laws. The Company has complied with all applicable anti-money laundering laws and regulations, including without limitation the USA Patriot Act of 2001 (collectively, the “Anti-Money Laundering Laws”) in connection with the origination and servicing of the Loans, and has established an anti-money laundering compliance program as required by the Anti-Money Laundering Laws, except where such failure would not reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect.

2.7.(b) Credit Reporting. The Company, in its capacity as servicer of the Loans, has complied with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and its implementing regulations in all material respects with respect to the servicing of the Loans, except where such failure would not reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect.

2.7.(c) Loan Documents and Loan Files. Each Loan does not violate in any material respect applicable Laws and to the Company’s Knowledge is a legal, valid and binding obligation of the related Borrower, enforceable in accordance with its terms and not subject to set off, counterclaim or defense whatsoever, except as may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally, and by general equitable principles. The Loan Documents and the related materials in the Loan Files constitute all of the documentation relating to the Loans, which documentation does not violate in any material respect applicable Laws, is enforceable and adequate for the substantial realization on the related Loan. All Loans are in substantially one of the forms attached in Section 2.7(c) of the Disclosure Schedule, except where the failure of a Loan to be in one of such forms would, individually or in the aggregate, not reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect. No Loan Documents were falsified by the Company, or, to the Company’s Knowledge, by any tax preparer, facilitator or any Borrower, and, in the case of the Company, and to the Company’s Knowledge, in the case of any tax preparer, facilitator or any Borrower, such Loan Documents, as of the date thereof, did not contain an untrue statement of material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the information and statements therein not misleading. Each Loan constitutes an “instrument” within the meaning of the UCC.

2.7.(d) Loan Gain and Loss History; Allowance for Possible Loan Losses. The Company has delivered to Oakmont true and correct information as to past due loans

as of December 31, 2006, a copy of which informational report is attached in Section 2.7(d) of the Disclosure Schedule.

2.7.(e) Principal Balance of Loans. The principal balance of each of the Loans set forth in Section 2.7(e) of the Disclosure Schedule reflects the existing outstanding principal balance of such Loans as of December 31, 2006, including loans made to affiliated parties, after taking into effect any settlement, offset, compromise or similar agreement with a Borrower regarding the amount of its payment obligation thereunder.

2.8. Absence of Certain Changes. Except as and to the extent set forth in Section 2.8 of the Disclosure Schedule or as discussed in any report filed by Parent with the SEC pursuant to the Exchange Act (collectively, the “Parent Reports”) prior to the date of this Agreement, since September 30, 2006 there has not been:

2.8.(a) Any Company Material Adverse Effect;

2.8.(b) Any loss, damage or destruction, whether covered by insurance or not, affecting the Company’s business or properties;

2.8.(c) Any increase in the compensation, salaries or wages payable or to become payable to any executive employee of the Company (except as and to the extent set forth in, any increase or change pursuant to any bonus, pension, profit sharing, retirement or other plan or commitment), or any bonus or other employee benefit granted, made or accrued to such executive;

2.8.(d) Any labor dispute or disturbance, other than routine individual grievances which are not material to the business, financial condition or results of operations of the Company;

4.9.(c) Parent acknowledges and agrees that compliance with the covenants contained in this Section 4.9 is necessary to protect the value of the goodwill being acquired by the Surviving Corporation and that these covenants are reasonable for such purposes. If any provision contained in this Section 4.9 shall for any reason be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions of this Section 4.9, but this Section 4.9 shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein. It is the intention of the parties that if any of the restrictions or covenants contained in this Section 4.9 is held to cover a geographic area or to be for a length of time which is not permitted by applicable Law, or in any way construed to be too broad or to any extant invalid, such provision shall be construed to be null, void and of no effect, but to the extent such provision would be valid or enforceable under applicable Law, a court of competent jurisdiction shall construe and interpret or reform this Section 4.9 to provide for a covenant having the maximum enforceable geographic area, time period and other provisions (not greater than those contained herein) as shall be valid and enforceable under such applicable Law.

4.9.(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Parent agrees that the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to (i) seek injunctive relief requiring specific performance by Parent of this Section 4.9 without the necessity of proving actual Damages or the posting of a bond and (ii) seek from time to time any other remedies available under applicable Law against Parent if Parent is directly or indirectly in breach of or has breached this Section 4.9.

10.2.(c) Limitations on Liability.

(i) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Parent’s indemnification obligations to Oakmont Indemnified Parties shall be limited as follows: (A) Parent shall only be liable for Damages for the breach of the representations and warranties in Article 2, other than breaches of the Specified Representations, if and to the extent such aggregate amount of all Damages exceed $250,000, after which point Parent will be obligated to indemnify the Oakmont Indemnified Parties from and against all Damages in excess of $250,000; and (B) the aggregate amount of Parent’s liability for breach of the representations and warranties in Article 2, other than breaches of the Specified Representations, shall not exceed $2,000,000.

Whenever a claim for Damages shall arise for which an Indemnified Party shall be entitled to indemnification hereunder, such Indemnified Party shall notify the Indemnifying Party in writing within fifteen (15) days of the first receipt of notice of such claim, and in any event within such shorter period as may be necessary for the Indemnifying Party to take appropriate action to resist such claim. Such notice shall specify in reasonable detail all facts and circumstances known to the Indemnified Party regarding the claim and shall explain in reasonable detail the basis on which the Indemnified Party claims a right to indemnity, including citation to relevant sections of this Agreement, and, if estimable, shall estimate the amount of the liability arising therefrom. The failure to provide such notice shall not result in a waiver of any right to indemnification hereunder except to the extent the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced by such failure.

10.2.(e) Defense of Third Party Claims. Upon receipt by the Indemnifying Party of a notice from the Indemnified Party with respect to any claim of a third party against the Indemnified Party, for which the Indemnified Party seeks indemnification hereunder, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to assume the defense of such claim, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate to the extent reasonably requested by the Indemnifying Party in defense or prosecution thereof and shall furnish such records, information and testimony and attend all such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials and appeals as may be reasonably requested by the Indemnifying Party in connection therewith. If the Indemnifying Party shall elect to assume the defense of such claim, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ its own counsel in any such

case, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party has assumed the defense of any claim against the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to settle any claim for which indemnification has been sought and is available hereunder; provided that, to the extent that such settlement requires the Indemnified Party to take, or prohibits the Indemnified Party from taking, any action or purports to obligate the Indemnified Party, then the Indemnifying Party shall not settle such claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. If the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense of a third party claim and disputes the Indemnified Party’s right to indemnification, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to assume control of the defense of such claim through counsel of its choice, the reasonable costs of which shall be at the Indemnifying Party’s expense in the event that the Indemnified Party’s right of indemnification is ultimately established through settlement, compromise or other legal proceeding. In no circumstance may the Indemnified Party compromise or settle a claim with a third party for which it seeks indemnification from the Indemnifying Party without first obtaining the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

10.3. Exclusive Remedy. Except for claims for fraud or intentional misrepresentation under applicable law and for the provisions of Section 10.2 and Article 11, the indemnification provided in this Article 10 will constitute the exclusive remedy of Oakmont Indemnified Parties or Parent Indemnified Parties, as the case may be, and their respective assigns from and against any and all Damages asserted against, resulting to, imposed upon or incurred or suffered by, any of them, directly or indirectly, as a result of, or based upon or arising from the breach of any representation or warranty or the non-fulfillment of any agreement or covenant in or pursuant to this Agreement or any other agreement, document, or instrument required hereunder. Oakmont and Parent each hereby waive, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, any and all rights, claims, and causes of action it may have against any other party, or any of such other party’s Affiliates, to the contrary.

11. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS.

not a convenient forum. Process and pleadings mailed to a party at the address provided in Section 11.9 shall be deemed properly served and accepted for all purposes.

11.3. Schedules. Information set forth in the Disclosure Schedule specifically refers to the article and section of this Agreement to which such information is responsive.

11.4. Waiver and Amendment.

The consent by one party to any act for which such consent was required shall not be deemed to imply consent or waiver of the necessity of obtaining such consent for the same or similar acts in the future, and no forbearance by a party to seek a remedy for noncompliance or breach by another party shall be construed as a waiver of any right or remedy with respect to such noncompliance or breach.

11.5. Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any interest herein shall be assignable (voluntarily, involuntarily, by judicial process, operation of Law or otherwise), in whole or in part, by any party without the prior written consent of the other party, and any such attempted assignment shall be null and void.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such provision could be more narrowly drawn so as not to be invalid, prohibited or unenforceable in such jurisdiction, it shall, as to such jurisdiction, be so narrowly drawn, without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.
