| (e) | Governing Law. This Agreement will be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Texas (without reference to any conflicts of law provision) applicable to agreements made in and to be performed entirely within such state. |
| (f) | Arbitration. In the event there is an unresolved legal dispute between the parties and/or any of their respective officers, directors, partners, employees, agents, affiliates or other representatives that involves legal rights or remedies arising from this Agreement, the parties agree to submit their dispute to binding arbitration under the authority of the Federal Arbitration Act; provided, however, that either party or such applicable affiliate thereof may pursue a temporary restraining order and/or preliminary injunctive relief in connection with any confidentiality covenants or agreements binding on the other party, with related expedited discovery for the parties, in a court of law, and, thereafter, require arbitration of all issues of final relief. The arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association, or another, mutually agreeable arbitration service. A panel of three arbitrators will preside over the arbitration and will together deliberate, decided and issue the final award. The arbitrators shall be duly licensed to practice law in the State of Texas. The arbitrators shall be required to state in a written opinion all facts and conclusions of law relied upon to support any decision rendered. The arbitrators will not have the authority to render a decision that contains an outcome determinative error of state or federal law, or to fashion a cause of action or remedy not otherwise provided for |
5
| under applicable state or federal law. Any dispute over whether the arbitrators have failed to comply with the foregoing will be resolved by summary judgment in a court of law. In all other respects, the arbitration process will be conducted in accordance with the American Arbitration Association’s dispute resolution rules or other mutually agreeable, arbitration service rules. The party initiating arbitration shall pay all arbitration costs and arbitrator’s fees, subject to a final arbitration award on who should bear costs and fees. All proceedings shall be conducted in Dallas, Texas, or another mutually agreeable site. Each party shall bear its own attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses, including any costs of experts, witnesses and/or travel, subject to a final arbitration award on who should bear costs and fees. The duty to arbitrate described above shall survive the termination of this Agreement. Except as otherwise provided above, the parties hereby waive trial in a court of law or by jury. All other rights, remedies, statutes of limitation and defenses applicable to claims asserted in a court of law will apply in the arbitration. |
| (g) | Further Assurances. Each Party agrees to (i) execute and deliver, or to cause to be executed and delivered, all such agreements, documents and instruments and (ii) take or cause to be taken all such actions as the other Party may reasonably request to effectuate the intent and purposes, and to carry out the terms, of this Agreement. |
| (h) | Confidentiality. Each of the Parties hereby agrees, without the prior written consent of the other, not to disclose, and to otherwise keep confidential, the terms of the transactions contemplated hereby, except that any Party may make any such disclosure (i) as required to implement or enforce this Agreement, (ii) if required to do so by any law, court, regulation, subpoena or other legal process, (iii) to any governmental authority or self-regulatory entity having or asserting jurisdiction over it, (iv) if its attorneys advise it that it has a legal obligation to do so or that failure to do so may result in it incurring a liability to any other entity or sanctions that may be imposed by any governmental authority, (v) to its affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors, auditors, lenders, any underwriters, trustees, accountants, attorneys, limited partners, shareholders and other interest holders or (vi) to the extent necessary to effect the transactions contemplated hereby or to effect a subsequent transfer of the Membership Interest or any portion thereof. |
| (i) | Indemnification. Each Party hereto (the “Indemnifying Party”) shall indemnify, defend, and hold the other Party hereto and its respective officers, directors, agents, partners, members, controlling entities and employees (collectively, “Indemnitees”) harmless from and against any liability, claim, cost, loss, judgment, damage or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) that any Indemnitee incurs or suffers as a result of, or arising out of, a breach by the Indemnifying Party of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements in this Agreement. |
| (j) | Equitable Remedy. Each Party acknowledges that a breach or threatened breach by such Party of any of its obligations under this Agreement would give rise to irreparable harm to the other Party for which monetary damages may not be an adequate remedy and hereby agrees |
6
| that in the event of a breach or a threatened breach by such Party of any such obligations, the other Party shall, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies that may be available to it in respect of such breach, be entitled to equitable relief, including a temporary restraining order, an injunction, specific performance and any other relief that may be available from a court of competent jurisdiction (without any requirement to post bond). |
| (k) | Notices. All notices, requests, demands and other communications to any Party or given under this Agreement (“Notices”) will be in writing and delivered personally, by overnight delivery or courier, by registered mail, or by telecopier (with confirmation received) to the Parties at the address or telecopy number specified for such Party on Schedule I (or at such other address or telecopy number as may be specified by a Party in writing given at least five (5) business days prior thereto).
