8. Miscellaneous Provisions.
1. No Violation. Each respective party represents and warrants, for itself only, that entering into this Definitive Agreement and the consummation of the Transaction contemplated herein do not violate or cause a breach of any document, agreement or instrument to which such party is a party or by which such party or any of their assets are or may be bound.
2. Governing Law. This Definitive Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Nevada as such laws are applied to agreements entered into and to be performed entirely within such State without giving effect to the conflicts of law provisions thereof.
3. Duty of Care to Protect Confidential Information. Any information disclosed by one party (“Disclosing Party”) to another party (“Recipient”) which is clearly marked and identified by the Disclosing Party as “Confidential Information” may not be disclosed to any third party without the prior written consent of the Disclosing Party. Each Party agrees that the other may disclose Confidential Information it receives to its subsidiaries or affiliates (or agents who have a “need to know” and have agreed to a nondisclosure obligation at least as restrictive as the terms of this section of this Definitive Agreement), all subject to the terms of this Definitive Agreement. The Recipient must provide at least the same standard of care to the protection of the Confidential Information herein as it provides to protect its own confidential information. The Recipient will not reproduce Confidential Information except to accomplish the purpose of this Definitive Agreement. Neither party will be liable to the other for inadvertent or accidental disclosure of Confidential Information if the disclosure occurs notwithstanding the party’s exercise of the same level of protection and care that such party customarily uses in safeguarding its own proprietary and confidential information.
In addition, each party warrants and represents that it has the right to disclose any and all Confidential Information that it discloses to the Recipient pursuant to this Definitive Agreement and shall indemnify Recipient from any claims arising out any assertion or claim with respect thereto. Furthermore, each party will indemnify and defend the other from all third-party claims resulting from the negligent or wrongful disclosure by it of a third-party’s confidential information. Except as specifically set forth herein, neither party makes any representation or warranty about the Confidential Information disclosed.
4. Resolution of Disputes. Except as otherwise provided herein as to injunctive relief for an unauthorized disclosure, any dispute arising under this Definitive Agreement, shall be first submitted in writing to the parties for mutual discussion and resolution. In the event that a resolution has not been reached by the parties within ten (10) days of the date of written notice of dispute, such dispute shall be submitted to, and settled by, final, binding, non-appealable arbitration. Such arbitration shall be conducted by arbitrators selected as hereinafter provided and shall be conducted in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules, existing at the date thereof, of the American Arbitration Association in Reno, Nevada.

The dispute shall be submitted to three (3) arbitrators, one arbitrator being selected by Recipient, one arbitrator being selected by Disclosing Party, and the third arbitrator being selected by the two (2) so selected by the parties, or, if they cannot agree on a third, by the American Arbitration Association. In the event that either party, within twenty (20) days after any notification made to it of the demand for arbitration by the other party, shall not have selected its arbitrator and given notice thereof by registered mail to the other party, such arbitrator shall be selected by the American Arbitration Association.
The validity, construction, performance or termination of any agreement by and between the parties submitted to arbitration shall be determined on the basis of the contractual obligations of the parties and the law governing such obligations. The arbitrators shall determine their jurisdiction over persons and subject matter if such jurisdiction is challenged by one of the parties. The award or decision of the arbitrators shall be: (a) rendered in writing, not more than forty-five (45) days after the selection of such arbitrators and shall state the grounds on which the arbitrators reached their decision; (b) dated and sent to the parties by registered mail, return receipt requested; and (c) final, binding and not subject to appeal before any court, nor other jurisdiction nor any authority. The party determined by the written arbitration decision to have been the prevailing party shall, in addition to any arbitration award, be entitled to an award of all costs, expenses and attorneys’ fees incurred in the dispute, from inception of such dispute. The non-prevailing party shall also pay any and all costs and expenses of arbitration.
