The Parties shall indemnify each other against all claims for brokerage commissions in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and will hold the other Party harmless from any loss resulting from any claim or claims for brokerage commissions claimed through the other Party. Unless otherwise set forth in the Definitive Agreement, each Party shall be responsible for its own commissions to brokers, and professional fees, including, but not limited to, attorneys and accountants fees, which are incurred in connection with the execution of this Letter of Agreement, the Business Combination or the transactions contemplated herein.

23. Governing Law. This Letter of Agreement will be deemed to be made in and in all respects will be interpreted, construed and governed by and in accordance with the law of the State of Delaware, without regard to the conflict of law principles thereof and the Parties hereto irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court, Orange County, California, or, if jurisdiction in such court is lacking, the state court in Orange County, California, in respect of any dispute or matter arising out of or connected with this Letter of Agreement. EACH PARTY HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREIN. EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 23.

24. No Assignment; Waiver; Etc. No Party may assign this Letter of Agreement without the prior written consent of the other Parties. The provisions of this Letter of Agreement shall be severable in the event that any of the provisions hereof are held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or otherwise unenforceable, and the remaining provisions shall remain enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law. No waiver, alteration or cancellation of any of the provisions of this Letter of Agreement shall be binding unless made in writing and signed by the Party or Parties to be bound. This Letter of Agreement is the entire agreement between the Parties concerning the subject matter herein and supersedes all prior oral and written agreements between them regarding same. No waiver by a Party of a breach of a term contained in this Letter of Agreement, 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 such breach of any term of this Letter of Agreement.

25. Specific Performance. The Parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Letter of Agreement were not performed by them in accordance with the terms hereof or were otherwise breached and that each Party hereto shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches of the provisions hereof and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, without the proof of actual damages, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. Each Party agrees to waive any requirement for the security or posting of any bond in connection with any such equitable remedy, and agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief on the basis that (a) any other Party has an adequate remedy at law, or (b) an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or equity.

26. Attorneys’ Fees. If any Party hereto is required to engage in litigation against any other Party, either as plaintiff or as defendant, in order to enforce or defend any rights under this Letter of Agreement, and such litigation results in a final judgment in favor of such Party (“Prevailing Party”), then the party or parties against whom said final judgment is obtained shall reimburse the Prevailing Party for all direct, indirect or incidental expenses incurred, including, but not limited to, all attorneys’ fees, court costs and other expenses incurred throughout all dispute resolution mechanisms, trials, or appeals undertaken in order to enforce the Prevailing Party’s rights hereunder.

27. Dispute Resolution. In any dispute over or in any way related to the provisions of this Letter of Agreement and in all other disputes among the Parties hereto (the “Disputing Parties”) (including issues of enforceability, termination, and arbitrability), the dispute shall:

(a) Be promptly negotiated in good faith between the Disputing Parties.

(b) In the event that negotiation fails or upon the expiration of thirty (30) days) of the event(s) giving rise to the dispute, whichever is sooner, the dispute shall then be submitted to non-binding mediation. The Disputing Party shall apply to the American Arbitration Association for a mediator, with the mediation to take place via remote teleconference means unless otherwise agreed between the Parties..

(c) In the event mediation fails to resolve all of the issues between or among the Disputing Parties, or if mediation is not held within sixty (60) days of the event(s) giving rise to the dispute, then the matter or any remaining matters shall be submitted to final, three (3) arbitrator, non-appealable, binding arbitration. The arbitration shall be held by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (AAA). The arbitration will be conducted in English. Each Party shall choose one (1) arbitrator to serve on the arbitration tribunal, with those two (2) arbitrators choosing the third arbitrator to serve on the arbitration tribunal. Arbitration shall be held via remote teleconference means unless otherwise agreed between the Parties. The arbitrators may issue any preliminary, injunctive, and/or equitable relief. Nothing in this Section 27 will serve to restrict the ability to apply for emergency relief. Any Party may, after failure of the negotiation and mediation procedures above, commence arbitration of the dispute by sending a written request for arbitration to all other Disputing Parties. The request shall state the nature of the dispute to be resolved by arbitration, and arbitration shall be commenced as soon as practical after such Parties receive a copy of the written request. The Parties may not bring suit regarding any disputes, controversies, or claims subject to this Section 27 of this Letter of Agreement in any venue other than an arbitration pursuant to this Section of the Agreement, except in order to enforce this Section 27 or enforce an arbitral award made pursuant to this Section 27. In the event that a Party attempts to bring an action in violation of this Section 27, the Parties agree that the other Party will be entitled to the arbitrators or judge entering an injunction to enjoin such unauthorized action. All Parties shall initially share the cost of arbitration, but the prevailing Party or Parties shall be awarded attorney fees, costs, and other expenses of arbitration. All arbitration decisions shall be final, binding, and conclusive on all the Parties to arbitration, and legal judgment may be entered based upon such decision in accordance with applicable law in any court having jurisdiction to do so. The Parties agree that the arbitral award shall be recognized by any applicable courts pursuant to all applicable statutes, conventions, and treaties. This arbitration clause shall survive any termination of this Letter of Agreement, any merger or integration clause, and shall continue to inure to the benefit of both Parties hereto, for all purposes. All Parties shall initially share the cost of arbitration, but the prevailing Party or Parties shall be awarded attorney’s fees, costs, and other expenses to any related arbitration or judicial proceedings.
