4. Miscellaneous.
A. Headings. The headings contained in this Amendment are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Amendment.
B. Enforceability. If any provision which is contained in this Amendment, should, for any reason, be held to be invalid or unenforceable in any respect under the laws of any State of the United States, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision of this Amendment and this Amendment shall be construed as if such invalid or unenforceable provision had not been contained in this Amendment.
C. Governing Law; Disputes. In view of the fact that: (1) the Assignee is a Delaware limited liability company with an office located in the State of California, and (2) the Borrower is a Nevada corporation with an office located in the State of California, in order to avoid the question of which state law shall be applicable, the Parties agree that:
(i) This Amendment shall in all respects be construed, governed, applied and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of California and be deemed to be an agreement entered into in the State of California and made pursuant to the laws of the State of California, without giving effect to the principles of conflicts of law.
(ii) The parties agree that they shall be deemed to have agreed to binding arbitration with respect to the entire subject matter of any and all disputes relating to or arising under this Amendment including, but not limited to, the specific matters or disputes as to which arbitration has been expressly provided for by other provisions of this Amendment and that any such arbitration shall be commenced exclusively in San Diego, California. Any such arbitration shall be by a panel of three arbitrators and pursuant to the commercial rules then existing of the American Arbitration Association in the State of California, County of San Diego.
(iii) In all arbitrations, judgment upon the arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. The parties specifically designate the Courts in the County of San Diego, State of California as properly having venue for any proceeding to confirm and enter judgment upon any such arbitration award. The parties hereby consent to and submit to personal jurisdiction over each of them by the Courts of the State of California in any action or proceeding to enforce the arbitration award, waive personal service of any and all process and specifically consent that in any such action or proceeding brought in the State of California, any service of process may be effectuated upon any of them by certified mail, return receipt requested. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law.
(iv) The parties agree that the prevailing party in any arbitration as determined by the arbitrator shall be entitled to such costs and attorney’s fees, if any, in connection with such arbitration as may be awarded by the arbitrators.
(v) The arbitration panel shall have no power to award non-monetary or equitable relief of any sort. It shall also have no power to award (a) damages inconsistent with any applicable agreement between the parties or (b) punitive damages or any other damages not measured by the prevailing party’s actual damages; and the parties expressly waive their right to obtain such damages in arbitration or in any other forum. In no event, even if any other portion of these provisions is held invalid or unenforceable, shall the arbitration panel have power to make an award or impose a remedy which could not be made or imposed by a court deciding the matter in the same jurisdiction.

(vi) Discovery shall be permitted in connection with the arbitration only to the extent, if any, expressly authorized by the arbitrator upon a showing of substantial need by the party seeking discovery.
(vii) All aspects of the arbitration shall be treated as confidential. The parties and the arbitrator may disclose the existence, content or results of the arbitration only as provided in the rules of the American Arbitration Association in San Diego, California. Before making any such disclosure, a party shall give written notice to all other parties and shall afford such parties a reasonable opportunity to protect their interest.

The Parties agree that the terms of this Amendment regarding confidentiality are not material to this Amendment and any breach of this paragraph shall not be considered a material breach of this Amendment. In the event of such a breach of this Paragraph, the non-breaching party shall only be entitled to injunctive relief and/or monetary damages for actual xxxxx caused by the breach.
G. Assignment. The parties hereby agree that the obligations under this Amendment shall be freely transferred or assigned to any third parties without the prior written consent of Assignee.
