Any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this contract, including the formation, interpretation, breach or termination thereof, including whether the claims asserted are arbitrable, shall be referred to and finally determined by arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association in accordance with its International Arbitration Rules. The tribunal shall consist of a sole arbitrator. The place of arbitration shall be New York, New York. The arbitration shall be conducted in English. The sole arbitrator may grant any remedy or relief, including but not limited to specific performance. The prevailing party in any such arbitration shall be entitled to recover its share of the arbitration costs, including but not limited to its attorneys’ fees and any other costs incurred in its representation, in proportion to such party’s award. Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered by any court having jurisdiction thereof.

(c)  Entire Agreement. This Agreement sets forth the entire agreement and understanding of the parties in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements, arrangements and understandings of the parties relating to the subject matter hereof including but not limited to the Original Proposal, the Revised Proposal, the Second Revised Proposal and the First Securities Purchase Agreement. This Agreement replaces the First Securities Purchase Agreement and the First Securities Purchase Agreement is now null and void. No representation, promise, inducement, waiver of rights, agreement or statement of intention has been made by any of the parties which is not expressly embodied in this Agreement, such other agreements, notes or instruments related to this transaction executed simultaneously herewith, or the written statements, certificates, schedules or other documents delivered pursuant to this Agreement or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.
 

 
(d)  Assignment. Each party's rights and obligations under this Agreement shall not be assigned or delegated, by operation of law or otherwise, without the other party's prior consent, and any such assignment or attempted assignment shall be void, of no force or effect, and shall constitute a material default by such party.

(e)  Amendments. This Agreement may be amended, modified, superseded or cancelled, and any of the terms, covenants, representations, warranties or conditions hereof may be waived, only by a written instrument executed by each party, in the case of a waiver, by the party waiving compliance.

(f)  Waivers. The failure of any party at any time or times to require performance of any provision hereof shall in no manner affect the right at a later time to enforce the same. No waiver by any party of any condition, or the breach of any term, covenant, representation or warranty contained in this Agreement, whether by conduct or otherwise, in any one or more instances shall be deemed to be or construed as a further or continuing waiver of any such condition or breach or a waiver of any other term, covenant, representation or warranty of this Agreement.

(g) Further Assurances.  BQT Solutions shall undertake all reasonable efforts to obtain any and all third party approvals and consents necessary to implement this Agreement. The parties shall promptly undertake on the same business day of any reasonable request and perform such additional acts and execute and deliver such additional documents and instruments as may be required or reasonably requested by any party to establish, maintain or protect its rights and remedies or to effect the purposes of this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, each of the BQT Companies hereby authorizes and agrees that Amici may fully disclose the matters pertaining to the Revised Proposal to the extent necessary for purposes of Amici compliance with the laws, rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), and each of the BQT Companies shall fully cooperate and be promptly fully responsive in regard to any and all requests by Amici for information and deliveries of all materials, reports, audits and certifications required for SEC reporting and disclosures in respect of the BQT Companies which must be made by Amici in connection with the Revised Proposal and the transactions contemplated thereunder, including, without limitation, delivering audited financial statements in form and substance which are reasonably sufficient to permit Amici to comply with any and all of its SEC reporting obligations. Each of the BQT Companies furthermore agrees to provide Amici with access to any and all books and records of each of the BQT Companies as Amici may reasonably request and to coordinate with respect to controls and procedures as required under any and all laws, rules and SEC regulations applicable to Amici. If performance of this Agreement in accordance with its terms would or might cause a breach of law or regulatory requirement or a tax or other cost that any of the parties considers undesirable, the parties will co-operate to bring about such alternative as would have, as nearly as possible, the same economic consequences as were contemplated by the parties in this Agreement.
