              Any action or proceeding seeking to enforce any provision of, or based upon any right arising out of, this Agreement shall be settled by binding arbitration by a panel of three (3) arbitrators in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association and governed by the laws of the State of Delaware (without regard to the choice-of-law rules or principles of that jurisdiction).  Judgment upon the award may be entered in any court located in the State of New York, and all the parties hereto hereby expressly waive any objections or defense based upon lack of personal jurisdiction.

              Each of the plaintiff and defendant party to the arbitration shall select one (1) arbitrator (or where multiple plaintiffs and/or defendants exist, one (1) arbitrator shall be chosen collectively by such parties comprising the plaintiffs and one (1) arbitrator shall be chosen collectively by those parties comprising the defendants) and then the two (2) arbitrators shall mutually agree upon the third arbitrator.  Where no agreement can be reached on the selection of either a third arbitrator or an arbitrator to be named by either a group of plaintiffs or a group of defendants, any implicated party may apply to a judge of the courts of the State of New York, to name an arbitrator.    Process in any such action or proceeding may be served on any party anywhere in the world.

Indemnification Provisions
