Agreement shall be finally settled by arbitration under the auspices and rules
of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"); provided, however, that a party
may file a complaint to seek a preliminary injunction or other provisional
judicial relief if in its sole judgement such action is necessary to enforce its
rights under this Agreement. Despite such action, the parties shall continue to
participate in good faith in the arbitration procedures specified in this
Paragraph. Venue for such court or arbitration proceedings shall be located in
the judicial district or at the offices of the AAA located in New York County,
New York. Any arbitration or proceeding related to this Agreement shall be
governed by the laws of the State of Delaware. Judgment upon an award rendered
by the arbitrators may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
11.10. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is declared
invalid by any tribunal, then such provision shall be deemed automatically
adjusted to the minimum extent necessary to conform to the requirements for
validity as declared at such time and, as so adjusted, shall be deemed a
provision of this Agreement as though originally included herein. In the event
that the provision invalidated is of such a nature that it cannot be so
adjusted, the provision shall be deemed deleted from this Agreement as though
such provision had never been included herein. In either case, the remaining
provisions of this Agreement shall remain in effect.
11.11. Further Assurances. Each party shall cooperate with the other
in carrying out the terms and purposes of this Agreement including, without
limitation, executing any instruments reasonably believed by the other party to
be necessary coordinated by the parties and no party may act unilaterally in
this regard without prior written approval of the other.
