LICENSEE further agrees to the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal or state courts in New York, New York for purposes of any pre-arbitral injunctive relief, including any application for a preliminary injunction or order compelling arbitration, and waive any objection to laying venue in any such action or proceeding in such courts, or that such courts are an inconvenient forum or do not have jurisdiction over a Party. Neither the Parties nor the Arbitrator may publicly disclose the existence, content or results of any arbitration hereunder without the prior consent of both Parties; provided, however, that LICENSEE may disclose the existence, content and/or results of any arbitration pursuant to this Section 4.E to the RMLC and its counsel, and the results of any such arbitration may be disclosed in any subsequent mediation or arbitration to which SESAC and RMLC or LICENSEE are parties.
