10.2. | As used herein, “Changes in Law” shall mean any change in the law occurring, at any time after the parties entered into this Agreement, whether arising from legislation, decisions of the courts or otherwise, including, without limitation, in the event that any governmental agency passes, issues or promulgates any law, rule, regulation, guideline or interpretation, or in the event that any judicial or administrative body issues any order or decree. | |

Unless otherwise agreed, the arbitrator shall be a retired judge with significant experience in business litigation. The arbitrator shall have the power to grant all appropriate legal and equitable relief, (both by way of interim relief and as a part of its final award) as may be granted by any court of State of California, to carry out the terms of this Agreement (e.g., declaratory and injunctive relief and damages). All awards and orders of the arbitrator (including, but not limited to, interim relief) may be enforced by any court of competent jurisdiction. Attorney’s fees may be awarded to the prevailing party or most prevailing party at the discretion of the arbitrator. The parties shall be entitled to all discovery otherwise provided by the Code of Civil Procedure, 1283.05; however, the arbitrator shall be empowered to limit discovery for good cause shown and in the interests of justice in order to assure that the arbitration of the applicable matter will proceed within the designated time frame. The parties’ intent is that the arbitration proceedings and discovery shall be conducted as expeditiously as possible. In that regard, the parties agree to work together in good faith to arrive upon mutually acceptable procedures regarding the time limits for, and type and degree of, discovery in any such proceeding and the periods of time within which the matters submitted to arbitration must be heard and determined by the arbitrator for his or her determination. The costs of the arbitration, including any administration fee, the arbitrator’s fee, and costs for the use of facilities during the hearings, shall be borne equally by the parties to the arbitration. Notwithstanding the above, the arbitrator shall not have any power to alter, amend, modify or change any of the terns of this Agreement nor to grant any remedy which is either prohibited by the terms of this Agreement, or not available in a court of law. Lessor and Lessee acknowledge and agree that under this Section each of them has waived her or its rights to a jury trial. |
12. | Waiver. The failure of Lessor or Lessee to object to or to take any affirmative action with respect to any conduct of the other which is in violation of the provisions of this Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver of that violation or any future violations of the provisions of this Agreement. |
13. | Severability. If any provision hereunder shall be found illegal, void or unenforceable, this Agreement shall be construed as if said provisions were not contained herein, giving full force and effect, as nearly as possible, to the original intent of the parties herein. This Section shall survive any termination of this Agreement. |
14. | Construction. The singular herein when referring to either Lessor or Lessee shall be deemed plural, if the context so requires. |
15. | Amendment and Modification. This Agreement may only be amended or modified by written consent of the Lessor and Lessee. |

18. | Attorney’s Fees. In the event that any party to this Agreement shall bring an action or commence arbitration to enforce the provisions of this Agreement or as a result of any default in the performance of any of the provisions of this Agreement, the prevailing party in such action shall be entitled to recover all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by such party in connection with such action. |
19. | Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by the parties hereto in separate counterparts, including by facsimile and “portable document format” (“pdf”), each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument.
