If any Dispute cannot be resolved and settled within such period, then to the extent authorized by the law governing the power and authority of each party, the parties agree to submit such Dispute to full and binding arbitration that will be undertaken and conducted under the auspices of the American Arbitration Association by a panel of three (3) arbitrators pursuant to that organization’s Commercial Arbitration Rules then in effect, as modified by and subject to the following terms:

(a) MD Xxxxxxxx, on the one hand, and the Issuer, on the other, will each choose one arbitrator and those two arbitrators will select the third arbitrator.

(b) The fees and expenses of the arbitrators shall be borne in equal shares by the parties.

(d) The arbitral tribunal shall not reallocate either the fees and expenses of the arbitrators or of the parties’ legal representation.

(e) The arbitration shall be held in Nashville, Tennessee, USA which shall be the seat of the arbitration.

(f) The arbitrators may not award, and no party may seek, indirect, incidental, consequential, punitive, exemplary, special, or enhanced damages, or prejudgment interest, or attorneys’ fees or costs, nor may the arbitrators apply any multiplier to any award of actual damages, except as may be required by statute.

(g) The arbitrators must issue a reasoned award, setting forth the arbitrators’ findings of fact and conclusions of law.

(h) The award of the arbitrators may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. The award rendered by the arbitrators shall be final and binding on the parties, except that the award is subject to limited judicial review and vacatur for the following reasons only: (i) the award was procured by corruption, fraud, or undue means, (ii) the award was tainted by evidence of partiality or corruption by any of the arbitrators, (iii) the award was tainted by misconduct by any of the arbitrators, (iv) the arbitrators exceeded their powers, and/or (v) the award evidences a manifest disregard of the law or is contrary to public policy. If the parties are unable to resolve a Dispute through binding arbitration, then any lawsuit pertaining to such Dispute that is brought by one party against another must be presented to and decided by a state or federal court in the home locale of the defendant party (that being Houston, Texas for MD Xxxxxxxx, and Germantown, Maryland for the Issuer).

6.12 Counterparts; Execution. This Agreement may be executed in three (3) or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Counterparts may be delivered via facsimile, electronic mail (including pdf or any electronic signature complying with the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000, e.g., xxx.xxxxxxxx.xxx) or other transmission method and any counterpart so delivered shall be deemed to have been duly and validly delivered and be valid and effective for all purposes.

6.13 Severability. If any provision hereof should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, then, to the fullest extent permitted by law, (a) all other provisions hereof shall remain in full force and effect and shall be liberally construed in order to carry out the intentions of the parties as nearly as may be possible and (b) the parties shall use their best efforts to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision(s) with valid, legal and

enforceable provision(s) which, insofar as practical, implement the purposes of such provision(s) in this Agreement.
