controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement, its enforcement or
interpretation, or because of an alleged breach, default, or misrepresentation
in connection with any of its provisions, shall be submitted to arbitration
before a sole arbitrator (the “Arbitrator”) selected from Judicial Arbitration
and Mediation Services, Inc., or its successor (“JAMS”), or if JAMS is no longer
able to supply the arbitrator, such arbitrator shall be selected from the
American Arbitration Association, and shall be conducted as the exclusive forum
for the resolution of such dispute. The arbitration shall be held in
the JAMS’ New York City office or at a mutually agreeable
location. Any award or relief granted by the Arbitrator hereunder
shall be final and binding on the parties hereto and may be enforced by any
court of competent jurisdiction. The parties acknowledge and agree
that they are hereby waiving any rights to trial by jury in any action,
proceeding or counterclaim brought by either of the parties against the other in
connection with any matter whatsoever arising out of or in any way connected
with this Agreement. The parties agree that in any such arbitration,
the prevailing party shall be entitled to his or its reasonable attorney’s fees
and expenses, including costs of expert witnesses (if any).
(j) Waiver of Jury
Trial. TO THE EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW THAT
CANNOT BE WAIVED, EACH PARTY HEREBY WAIVES, AND COVENANTS THAT IT WILL NOT
ASSERT (WHETHER AS PLAINTIFF, DEFENDANT OR OTHERWISE), ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY
JURY IN ANY FORUM IN RESPECT OF ANY ISSUE, CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF
ACTION ARISING IN WHOLE OR IN PART UNDER, RELATED TO, BASED ON OR IN CONNECTION
WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF, WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR
HEREAFTER ARISING AND WHETHER SOUNDING IN TORT OR CONTRACT OR
OTHERWISE. ANY PARTY HERETO MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A
COPY OF THIS SECTION 10(j) WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF
EACH SUCH PARTY TO THE WAIVER OF ITS RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.
(k) Waiver. The
rights and remedies of the parties to this Agreement are cumulative and not
alternative. Neither the failure nor any delay by any party in
exercising any right, power or privilege under this Agreement or the documents
referred to in this Agreement will operate as a waiver of such right, power or
privilege, and no single or partial exercise of any such right, power or
privilege will preclude any other or further exercise of such right, power or
privilege or the exercise of any other right, power or
privilege.
- 11 -
(l) Severability. If
any provision of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable by any court of
competent jurisdiction, the other provisions of this Agreement will remain in
full force and effect. Any provision of this Agreement held invalid
or unenforceable only in part or degree will remain in full force and effect to
the extent not held invalid or unenforceable.
(m) Survival. The
representations and warranties of the Company contained in Section 3 of
this Agreement and of the Purchasers contained in Section 4 of
this Agreement shall survive until the second (2nd) anniversary of the Closing
Date.
(n) Further Assurances.
From and after the date of this Agreement, upon the request of the Company or
the Purchasers, the Company and the Purchasers will execute and deliver such
instruments, documents or other writings, and take such other actions, as may be
reasonably necessary or desirable to confirm and carry out and to effectuate
fully the intent and purposes of this Agreement.
