13.4         Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed [   *   ].  Where not as otherwise provided for in this Agreement, in the event of any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to any provision of this Agreement, the Parties shall first try to settle those conflicts amicably between themselves.
