Capacity. Each of the parties hereto warrants that they are legally competent to execute this Agreement and accepts full responsibility therefor.

12. Resolution of Disputes.

Except as provided, herein, and in the event of any claim, cause of action, dispute or controversy arising under this Agreement or otherwise related to the parties' employment relationship, the parties shall negotiate in good faith for the purpose of resolving such dispute. In the event that the parties cannot resolve the claim, cause of action, dispute or controversy informally within fifteen (15) days, then such claim, cause of action, dispute or controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof, including the determination of the scope or applicability of this agreement to arbitrate, shall be determined by a mandatory arbitration in Miami, Florida before one (1) arbitrator. The arbitration shall be administered by JAMS pursuant to its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures (Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures). Judgment on the Award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. This clause shall not preclude parties from seeking provisional remedies in aid of arbitration from a court of appropriate jurisdiction. Each party shall bear its own costs in the arbitration and shall share equally the costs of the arbitration itself. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and without undermining the agreement to arbitrate on any other claim, cause of action, dispute or controversy, the Company shall at all times have and retain the exclusive and unilateral right to seek immediate temporary and preliminary injunctive relief in a court of law in the event of a violation or alleged violation by the Executive of Sections 7, 8, or 9 of this Agreement. In the event such judicial relief is granted, such relief shall remain binding on the parties pending the outcome of arbitration. THE COMPANY AND EXECUTIVE ACKNOWLEDGE THAT EACH HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO CONSULT WITH LEGAL AND FINANCIAL COUNSEL CONCERNING THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS ARISING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, THAT EACH HAS READ AND UNDERSTANDS THIS AGREEMENT, AND THAT EACH ENTERS INTO IT WILLINGLY.

This Agreement is duly executed as of the day and year of the last signature below.
