The words “including,” “include” and other words of similar import shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.”
(d) Dispute Resolution. All disputes arising out of or relating to this Agreement will be resolved by mandatory, binding arbitration in accordance with this Section 11(d). Any arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 11(d) will be conducted in Hong Kong under the Arbitration Rules of the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law by arbitrators appointed in accordance with such rules.

In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile or electronic mail transmission, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile or electronic mail signature page were an original thereof.
(f) Entire Agreement. The Agreement and the exhibits and schedules attached thereto, contain the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements, understandings, discussions and representations, oral or written, with respect to such matters, which the parties acknowledge have been merged into such documents, exhibits and schedules.
