If a dispute arises between the parties relating to this Agreement, the following shall be the sole and exclusive procedure for enforcing the terms hereof and for seeking relief, including damages, injunctive relief and specific performance: (i) The parties promptly shall hold a meeting of senior executives with decision-making authority to attempt in good faith to negotiate a mutually satisfactory resolution of the dispute; provided that no party shall be under any obligation whatsoever to reach, accept or agree to any such resolution; provided further that no such meeting shall be deemed to vitiate or reduce the obligations and liabilities of the parties or be deemed a waiver by a party hereto of any remedies to which such party would otherwise be entitled. (ii) If the parties are unable to negotiate a mutually satisfactory resolution as provided above, then upon request by either party, the matter shall be submitted to binding arbitration before a sole arbitrator in accordance with the CPR Rules, including discovery rules, for Non-Administered Arbitration. Within five Business Days after the selection of the arbitrator, each party shall submit its requested relief to the other party and to the arbitrator with a view toward settling the matter prior to commencement of discovery. If no settlement is reached, then discovery shall proceed. Upon the conclusion of discovery, each party shall again submit to the arbitrator its requested relief (which may be modified from the initial submission) and the arbitrator shall select only the entire requested relief submitted by one party or the other, as the arbitrator deems most appropriate. The arbitrator shall not select one party's requested relief as to certain claims or counterclaims and the other party's requested relief as to other claims or counterclaims. Rather, the arbitrator must only select one or the other party's entire requested relief on all of the asserted claims and counterclaims, and the arbitrator shall enter a final ruling that adopts in whole such requested relief. The arbitrator shall limit his/her final ruling to selecting the entire requested relief he/she considers the most appropriate from the requests submitted by the parties.

Each of the parties hereby irrevocably consents to the jurisdiction of such courts (and of the appropriate appellate courts therefrom) in any such suit, action or proceeding and irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding in any such court or any objection that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Process in any such suit, action or proceeding may be served on any party anywhere in the world, whether within or without the jurisdiction of any such court. Section .08. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.

Until and unless each party has received a counterpart hereof signed by the other party hereto, this Agreement shall have no effect and no party shall have any right or obligation hereunder (whether by virtue of any other oral or written agreement or other communication).

If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction or other authority to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated so long as the economic 24 or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such a determination, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible. Section .12. Specific Performance. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur if any provision of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with the terms hereof and that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement or to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions hereof in the courts specified in Section .07. 25 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be duly executed by their respective authorized officers as of the day and year first above written.
