Accordingly, except as otherwise provided herein,, neither Executive nor the Company will be permitted to pursue court action regarding claims that are subject to arbitration.

No party shall be deemed to have waived any right, power or privilege under this Agreement or any provisions hereof unless such waiver shall have been duly executed in writing and acknowledged by the party to be charged with such waiver. The failure of any party at any time to insist on performance of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall in no way be construed to be a waiver of such provisions, nor in any way to affect the validity of this Agreement or any part hereof. No waiver of any breach of this Agreement shall be held to be a waiver of any other subsequent breach.

(g) Reformation. If any sentence, paragraph or clause of this Agreement, or combination of the same, is in violation of any applicable law or regulation, or is unenforceable or void for any reason, such sentence, paragraph, clause or combinations of same shall be modified to the extent necessary to accomplish the intention on such provision without violating applicable law or regulation.
