D. Governing Law; Disputes. In order to induce the Buyer to enter into this Agreement and in view of the fact that because the Company’s offices are located in the State of New York and the Buyer’s offices are located in the State of Illinois, in order to avoid the question of which state law shall be applicable, the Parties agree as follows:
(i) That this Agreement shall in all respects be construed, governed, applied and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of New York and be deemed to be an agreement entered into in the State of New York and made pursuant to the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to the principles of conflicts of law. Moreover, the Parties agree that pursuant to Section 5-1401 of the General Obligations Law of New York, if applicable, this Agreement shall in all respects be construed, governed, applied and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of New York and be deemed to be an agreement entered into in the State of New York and made pursuant to the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to the principles of conflicts of law.
(ii) The Parties agree that they shall be deemed to have agreed to binding arbitration in New York, New York, with respect to the entire subject matter of any and all disputes relating to or arising in connection with this Agreement, including, but not limited to, the specific matters or disputes as to which arbitration has been expressly provided for by other provisions of this Agreement and that any such arbitration shall be commenced exclusively in New York County, New York. Any such arbitration shall be by a panel of three arbitrators and pursuant to the commercial rules then existing of the American Arbitration Association in the State of New York, County of New York. In all arbitrations, judgment upon the arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. The Parties specifically designate the courts in the State of New York, County of New York as properly having jurisdiction for any proceeding to confirm and enter judgment upon any such arbitration award. The Parties hereby consent to and submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York in any action or proceeding and submit to personal jurisdiction over each of them by such courts. The Parties hereby waive personal service of any and all process and specifically consent that in any such action or proceeding brought in the courts of the State of New York any service of process may be effectuated upon any of them by certified mail, return receipt requested. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law.
7
(iii) The Parties agree, further, that the prevailing Party in any such arbitration as determined by the arbitrators shall be entitled to such costs and attorney’s fees, if any, in connection with such arbitration as may be awarded by the arbitrators; provided, however, that if a proceeding is commenced to confirm and enter a judgment thereon by the Courts of the State of New York and such application is denied, no such costs or attorneys fees shall be paid. In connection with the arbitrators’ determination for the purpose of which Party, if any, is the prevailing Party, they shall take into account all of the factors and circumstances including, without limitation, the relief sought, and by whom, and the relief, if any, awarded, and to whom. In addition, and notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, a Party shall not be deemed to be the prevailing Party in a claim seeking monetary damages, unless the amount of the arbitration award exceeds the amount offered in a legally binding writing signed by the other Party by fifteen (15%) percent or more. For example, if the Party initiating arbitration (“A”) seeks an award of $10,000 plus costs and expenses, the other Party (“B”) has offered A $5,000 prior to the commencement of the arbitration proceeding, and the arbitrators award any amount less than $5,750 to A, the arbitrators should determine that B has “prevailed.”
(iv) The arbitration panel shall have no power to award non-monetary or equitable relief of any sort. It shall also have no power to award (i) damages inconsistent with any applicable agreement between the Parties or (ii) punitive damages or any other damages not measured by the prevailing Party’s actual damages; and the Parties expressly waive their right to obtain such damages in arbitration or in any other forum. In no event, even if any other portion of these provisions is held invalid or unenforceable, shall the arbitration panel have power to make an award or impose a remedy which could not be made or imposed by a court deciding the matter in the same jurisdiction.
(v) Discovery shall be permitted in connection with the arbitration only to the extent, if any, expressly authorized by the arbitrators upon a showing of substantial need by the Party seeking discovery.
(vi) All aspects of the arbitration shall be treated as confidential. The Parties and the arbitrators may disclose the existence, content or results of the arbitration only as provided in the rules of the American Arbitration Association in New York, New York. Before making any such disclosure, a Party shall give written notice to all other Parties and shall afford such parties a reasonable opportunity to protect their interest.

E. Entire Agreement. This Agreement and all documents and instruments referred to herein (i) constitute the entire agreement and supersede all prior and contemporaneous agreements and understandings, excluding any agreements which are referred to in this Agreement or any of the documents or instruments required to be executed pursuant to this Agreement, both written and oral, among the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and (ii) are not intended to confer upon any person other than the Parties hereto any rights or remedies hereunder. Each Party to this Agreement agrees that, except for the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement, no Party makes any other representations or warranties, and each hereby disclaims any other representations and warranties made by itself or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, financial and legal advisors or other representatives, with respect to the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, notwithstanding the delivery or disclosure of any documentation or other information with respect to any one or more of the foregoing.

If either Party intends to make a disclosure of the terms of this Agreement as required by law, by judicial or other compulsory process, including, without being limited to, any court order, by any federal and/or state regulatory agency, or as may be required in connection with its obligations under federal securities laws, such Party shall notify the other Party, if feasible, in advance of any such disclosure. The Parties agree that the terms of this Paragraph “F” of this Article “10” of this Agreement regarding confidentiality are not material to this Agreement and any breach of this paragraph shall not be considered a material breach of this Agreement. In the event of such a breach of this Paragraph “F” of this Article “10” of this Agreement, the non-breaching Party shall only be entitled to injunctive relief and/or monetary damages for actual harms caused by the breach.
G. No Assignment. The Parties hereby agree that the obligations under this Agreement shall not be transferred or assigned to any third parties without the prior written consent of each Party to this Agreement.
H. Enforceability. If any provision which is contained in this Agreement, should, for any reason, be held to be invalid or unenforceable in any respect under the laws of any State of the United States, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision of this Agreement and in this Agreement shall be construed as if such invalid or unenforceable provision had not been contained herein.
I. Further Assurances. The Parties agree to execute any and all such other further instruments and documents, and to take any and all such further actions which are reasonably required to effectuate this Agreement and the intents and purposes hereof.
9
J. Non-Waiver. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no waiver of any covenant, condition, or provision of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been made unless expressly in writing and signed by the Party against whom such waiver is charged; and (i) the failure of any Party to insist in any one or more cases upon the performance of any of the provisions, covenants or conditions of this Agreement or to exercise any option herein contained shall not be construed as a waiver or relinquishment for the future of any such provisions, covenants or conditions, (ii) the acceptance of performance of anything required by this Agreement to be performed with knowledge of the breach or failure of a covenant, condition or provision hereof shall not be deemed a waiver of such breach or failure and (iii) no waiver by any Party of one breach by another Party shall be construed as a waiver of any other or subsequent breach.
K. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
L. Facsimile and E-mail Signatures. Any signature which is delivered via facsimile or via E-mail in portable document format (“.pdf”) shall be deemed to be an original and have the same force and effect as if such facsimile or .pdf signature were the original thereof.
M. Binding upon Execution and Delivery. No Party to this Agreement shall be bound hereby until fully executed counterparts to this Agreement have been executed by, and delivered to, each Party, or their respective attorneys, by all other Parties or their respective attorneys.
N. Construction. Each of the Parties hereto hereby further acknowledges and agrees that (a) each has been advised by counsel during the course of negotiations and (b) each counsel has had significant input in the development of this Agreement and (c) this Agreement shall not, therefore, be construed more strictly against any Party responsible for its drafting regardless of any presumption or rule requiring construction against the Party whose attorney drafted this Agreement.
O. Modifications. This Agreement may not be changed, modified, extended, terminated or discharged orally, except by a written agreement specifically referring to this Agreement which is signed by the Parties.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be executed as of the date first above written.
