Except as otherwise set forth in Article “19” of this Agreement, the parties agree that they shall be deemed to have agreed to binding arbitration with respect to the entire subject matter of any and all disputes relating to or arising under this Agreement including, but not limited to, the specific matters or disputes as to which arbitration has been expressly provided for by other provisions of this Agreement and that any such arbitration shall be commenced exclusively in New York, New York. Any such arbitration shall be by a panel of three arbitrators and pursuant to the commercial rules then existing of the American Arbitration Association in the State of New York, County of New York.
