performance of any provision hereof shall in no manner affect the right of such
party at a later time to enforce the same. No waiver of any nature, whether by
conduct or otherwise, in any one or more instances, shall be deemed to be or
construed as a further or continuing waiver of any such condition or of any
breach of any other term, covenant, representation or warranty of this
Agreement.
9.09 This Agreement may be executed in any number of separate
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which
together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
9.10 This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance
with the laws of the State of California, irrespective of the principal place of
business of the parties hereto. Any and all claims, disputes, or controversies
arising under, out of, or in connection with this Agreement or any breach
thereof, except for equitable relief sought pursuant to Article IX, shall be
determined by binding arbitration in the State of California, County of Contra
Costa (hereinafter "Arbitration"). The party seeking determination shall subject
any such dispute, claim or controversy to either (i) JAMS/Endispute or (ii) the
American Arbitration Association, and the rules of commercial arbitration of the
selected entity shall govern. The Arbitration shall be conducted and decided by
three (3) arbitrators, unless the parties mutually agree, in writing at the time
of the Arbitration, to fewer arbitrators. In reaching a decision, the
arbitrators shall have no authority to change or modify any provision of this
Agreement. Each party shall bear its own expenses and one-half the expenses and
costs of the arbitrators. Any application to compel Arbitration, confirm or
vacate an arbitral award or otherwise enforce this Paragraph shall be brought in
the Courts of the State of California or the United States District Court for
the Northern District of California, to whose jurisdiction for such purposes
Seller and Buyer hereby irrevocably consent and submit.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Agreement the date
first above written by their respective duly authorized officers.
