6. Governing Law. THIS VOTING TRUST AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND INTERPRETED AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REFERENCE TO ANY INTERNAL CONFLICTS OF LAWS PRINCIPLES.
7. Arbitration.
(a) Dispute Resolution. The Parties agree that any controversy, claim or dispute arising out of or relating to or in connection with this Voting Trust Agreement including, without limitation, any dispute regarding its existence, interpretation, breach, termination, enforceability or validity (each, a “Dispute”) should be regarded as a business problem to be resolved promptly through business-oriented negotiations before resorting to arbitration pursuant to Section (b) below. Without prejudice to the parties’ right to seek Interim Relief (as defined below) at any time, the parties therefore agree to attempt in good faith to resolve any Dispute promptly by negotiation between the executives of the parties who have authority to settle the Dispute. Such negotiations shall commence upon delivery of a notice (the “Dispute Notice”) from the appropriate executive of the requesting party to an appropriate executive of the responding party. If the alleged breach has not been cured or the Dispute has not been otherwise resolved by these Persons within fifteen (15) days of the date of the Dispute Notice, unless the parties agree in writing to a longer period, the Dispute shall be referred to the chief executive officer of each of CVH and/or FT, for discussion and negotiation among them. In the event the Dispute has still not been resolved by negotiation within fifteen (15) days of such referral, then such Dispute shall be settled pursuant to binding arbitration pursuant to Section (b) below. All negotiations pursuant to this Section (a) shall be confidential and shall be treated as compromise and settlement negotiations for purposes of applicable rules of evidence and shall not be used for, or admitted in, any arbitration or court proceedings under this Voting Trust Agreement.
(b) Arbitration. Any Dispute hereunder shall be finally and definitively resolved by arbitration under the Arbitration Rules of the International Chamber of Commerce (the “ICC Rules” or “Rules”), which Rules are deemed to be incorporated by reference into this Clause. The Tribunal shall consist of one arbitrator (the “Arbitrator”), to be appointed pursuant to the ICC Rules. The seat of the arbitration shall be New York, New York. The language of the arbitration shall be English. In addition to any discovery permitted under the ICC rules, each party shall produce relevant, non-privileged, documents or copies thereof reasonably requested by any other party within the limits set by the Arbitrator, and subject to the Arbitrator’s rulings on objections to such requests. Any award of the Tribunal shall be binding from the day it is made, and the parties waive any right to refer any question of law and any right of appeal on the law and/or merits to any court. Judgment upon the award rendered by the Tribunal may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The parties to this Voting Trust Agreement waive any defense to recognition and enforcement of the award based on lack of jurisdiction over their person or property or based on forum non conveniens. Nothing in these dispute resolution provisions shall be construed as preventing any party to this Voting Trust Agreement from at any time seeking preliminary, conservatory or similar interim relief (“Interim Relief”) in the federal or state courts in New York, New York. Further and without limitation, the parties to this Voting Trust Agreement submit to
the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal and state courts in New York, New York for the purpose of such Interim Relief. The parties waive any objections based on lack of jurisdiction over their person or property or based on forum non conveniens with respect to any application for such Interim Relief in the federal and state courts in New York, New York. The Arbitrator shall include in its award an allocation to the prevailing party of its costs (including attorneys’ fees and all costs incurred in seeking Interim Relief), or such portion of its costs as the Arbitrator determines, in its absolute discretion, is commensurate with the prevailing party’s degree of success. Such costs shall include any costs associated with requesting an injunction in a New York court in connection with such dispute. Each of the parties hereby irrevocably designates CT Corporation, with offices situated at present at 00 Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000 as its authorized agent, respectively, to accept and acknowledge on its behalf service of any process which may be served in any proceeding in New York.
(c) The parties agree to maintain confidentiality as to all aspects of the arbitration, except as may be required by applicable law, regulations or court order, or to maintain or satisfy any suitability requirements for any license by any state, federal or other regulatory authority or body, including professional societies and organizations; provided, that nothing herein shall prevent a party from disclosing information regarding the arbitration for purposes of enforcing the award. The parties further agree to obtain the arbitrator’s agreement to preserve the confidentiality of the arbitration.
8. Entire Agreement. This Voting Trust Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes and shall supersede all prior agreements and understandings (whether written or oral) between the parties hereto.
