ARTICLE VII
Dispute Resolution: Mediation and Arbitration
7.1 Mediation of Disputes.
(a) Mediation. Except for default due to non-payment, or with respect to any restraining order for alleged breach of any restriction on competition, non-disclosure or non-disparagement provision, in the event of any other dispute between any Parties to this Agreement involving the interpretation or performance of any covenant, condition, or obligation arising under this Agreement, or any of the exhibits attached hereto, that the Parties cannot themselves timely resolve to their mutual satisfaction, such dispute shall first be submitted to mediation. Mediation proceedings shall take place at a location as mutually agreed to between the Parties to this Agreement, or, in the event the Parties are unable to agree, then in Phoenix, Arizona, by a duly qualified, neutral attorney experienced in mediation or other professional mediator chosen by the Parties. The Parties must mutually agree upon selection of the mediator within ten (10) days of either Party sending written notice to the other Party requesting mediation of the dispute. In the event that the Parties cannot timely agree upon selection of the mediator, then said mediator shall be selected in the same manner as the single arbitrator as provided in Subsection 7.2(d)(i) below.
(b) Mediation Proceedings. The mediation shall take place not later than thirty (30) days after selection of the mediator; during which, with the assistance and counseling of said mediator, the Parties shall, in good faith, attempt to resolve their dispute. Any remaining unresolved disputes or issues following completion of said mediation proceedings shall be set forth in writing and be subject to final and binding arbitration in the manner set forth in Section 7.2 below. Each Party to the mediation shall be responsible for their own costs and expenses. The costs of the mediation proceedings itself, and the fees and costs of the mediator, shall be shared equally by the Purchaser on the one hand and the Sellers as a group on the other hand. The Parties to the mediation shall be required to maintain the confidential nature of said proceedings.
7.2 Arbitration of Disputes.
(a) Arbitration. After completion of the Section 7.1 mediation proceedings and notwithstanding the right of the Parties to pursue proceedings in a state or federal court in the event of a default due to non-payment, or with respect to any restraining order for alleged breach of any restriction on competition, non-disclosure or non-disparagement provision, as to any remaining unresolved issues or disputes, the Parties to said mediation shall resolve, exclusively by final and binding arbitration, all such remaining claims, demands, causes of action, disputes, controversies or other matters in question (“Claims”) arising out of, or related to, the terms of this Agreement, and whether such claims originate from contract, tort or otherwise, and whether provided by statute (federal, state or local statutes or laws, and rules, regulations and ordinances interpreting the same), equity or common law, which any Party may have against the others, or their employees or agents in their capacity as such or otherwise.
(b) Arbitration Procedures. Any arbitration hereunder shall be in accordance with the law of the State of Arizona and to the extent that any issue or procedure covering the arbitration is not adequately addressed, said issue or procedure shall then be in accordance with the then current rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) that are applicable to the Claims asserted. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the arbitration need not be submitted to the American Arbitration Association for administration. The arbitrator shall be a practicing attorney or retired judge with at least ten (10) years total working experience and shall be mutually selected by the Parties. No demand for arbitration may be made after the date when the institution of legal or equitable proceedings based on such Claims would be barred by the applicable statute of limitation. The arbitrator is not authorized to award punitive or other damages not measured by the prevailing Party’s actual damages. An award of damages shall include pre-award interest at the Arizona statutory rate from the time of the act or acts giving rise to the award.
(c) Enforcement. If a Party refuses to honor its obligations under this Agreement, subject to Section 7.1 and Section 7.2(a) and (b), the other Parties may compel arbitration in either the federal or state court. The arbitrator shall apply the substantive law of the State of Arizona, or federal law, or both, as applicable to the claims asserted. The arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, or enforcement of this arbitration provision, including any claim that all or part of this provision is void or voidable, and any claim that an issue or dispute related to or arising out of this Agreement, is not subject to arbitration. The type and amount of discovery allowed in the arbitration proceedings shall be in the sole discretion of the arbitrator. Any and all of the arbitrator’s orders, decisions and awards shall be final and binding, and may be enforceable in, and judgment upon any award rendered by the arbitrator, may be confirmed and entered by, any federal or state court having jurisdiction. All proceedings conducted pursuant to this Agreement, including any order, decision or award of the arbitrator, shall be kept confidential by the Parties; provided, however, that Parties may communicate the details of the proceedings conducted pursuant to this Agreement to their financial advisors and others with a need to know.
(d) Number of Arbitrators; Venue; Written Decision and Findings. The arbitration shall be decided by a single arbitrator under Section 7.2(d)(i).
(i) Single Arbitrator. A single arbitrator shall first be appointed by agreement of the Parties, if such agreement can be reached within ten (10) days of receipt of notice by one Party that any other Party has commenced arbitration proceedings. The mediator chosen to hear the dispute pursuant to Section 7.1 shall not serve as the single arbitrator. In the absence of timely agreement, and if the Section 7.1 mediator was not chosen pursuant to the provisions of this Subsection 7.2(d) (e.g., because the Parties to the dispute mutually agreed upon the selection of the mediator), then the Parties shall request a list of seven (7) arbitrators versed in the area of law that is the subject of the claim. The Parties shall select the single arbitrator from said list, by agreement, if possible, and in the absence of said agreement within ten (10) days of receipt of said list, the arbitrator shall be selected from said list by each Party, in turn striking a name from said list until only a single name remains, who shall be the sole arbitrator.
(ii) Resignation of Arbitrator. If any arbitrator resigns, a replacement shall be determined pursuant to Section 7.2(d)(i).
(iii) Venue. The Parties agree that venue for arbitration shall be as mutually agreed to between the Parties to this Agreement, or, in the event the Parties are unable to agree, then in Phoenix, Arizona.
(iv) Written Decision. The arbitrator shall issue written findings and award setting forth his or her decisions concerning said arbitration and the reasoned basis for such findings and award.
(e) Costs of Arbitration. When arbitration is actually conducted pursuant to this Agreement: (i) the Purchaser on the one hand and the Sellers on the other hand shall share equally the obligation for payment of all of the arbitrator’s fees and any facility charges, if applicable, to secure the place of arbitration; and (ii) if said arbitrator determines that an award of attorney fees and costs to the prevailing Party or Parties would be fair and equitable under the circumstances at the time of arbitration, then the Party or Parties in whose favor the arbitrator renders the award shall be entitled to have and recover from the other Party or Parties all other costs incurred, including reasonable attorney fees and expert witness fees, to the extent that such fees and costs would be allocable if incurred in a court action. To the extent that said arbitrator’s award does not award attorney fees and costs to any Party, then, in such event, each Party shall bear its own costs and attorney fees (exclusive of the facility charge portion of the costs of arbitration and fees of the arbitrator, which are to be shared equally between the Purchaser on the one hand and the Sellers on the other hand).
(f) Right to Appeal. The arbitrator does not have authority (i) to render a decision which contains a reversible error of state or federal law, or (ii) to apply a cause of action or remedy not expressly provided for under existing state or federal law. Any Party may appeal an award rendered by the arbitrators in violation of this Section 7.2(f) by filing an appeal with the proper court having jurisdiction over the matter within thirty (30) days of the date upon which such final decision was rendered.
(g) Waiver of Trial. The Parties acknowledge that by signing this Agreement including this mediation (Section 7.1) and arbitration (Section 7.2) provision, said Party is waiving any right that said Party may otherwise have to a jury trial, or a court trial, in regard to any claim hereunder, including a claim for breach of this Agreement.
7.3 Attorneys’ Fees. In the event of any dispute regarding the interpretation or enforcement of this Agreement that was not settled by mediation, and therefore was subject to binding arbitration, and except as otherwise provided in Subsection 7.2(e) (i.e., a decision by the arbitrator not to award attorney’s fees and costs because to do so, in the arbitrator’s opinion, would not be fair and equitable), the prevailing Party or Parties in such dispute, and whether or not litigation is commenced to enforce said arbitration award by the prevailing Party or Parties, shall be entitled to recover its or their reasonable attorney fees and costs and expenses, including, but not limited to, court costs, and specifically including with the definition of “costs” all charges, expenses, consultant fees, expert witness fees, and attorney fees that the prevailing Party or Parties may incur, with or without litigation, in such dispute that was the subject of binding arbitration, whether at trial or upon appeal, and including any bankruptcy or other insolvency proceedings involving the non-prevailing Party or Parties. The term “prevailing Party or Parties” as used in this Agreement means the Party or Parties who successfully prosecutes the action or successfully defends against it, prevailing on the main issue, even though not necessarily receiving an award of damages or other form of recovery.
