(g) GOVERNING LAW AND ARBITRATION. This Agreement shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California without giving
effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule that would cause the
application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of California.
All disputes between Buyer and the Sellers hereunder shall be settled by
arbitration before a single arbitration pursuant to the rules of the American
Arbitration Association, in Orange County, California; provided, however, that
(a) the parties shall be permitted to have discovery in accordance with the
Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and (b) any award pursuant to such arbitration
shall be accompanied by a written opinion of the arbitrator giving the reasons
for the award. A request for arbitration shall be evidenced by the party
requesting arbitration giving notice of the intention to arbitrate in accordance
with the provisions of Section 10(f) hereof. The arbitrator shall be selected by
the joint agreement of Buyer and Sellers, but if they do not so agree within 20
days of the date of a request for arbitration, the selection shall be made
pursuant to the rules of the American Arbitration Association. The award
rendered by the arbitrator shall be final, conclusive and binding upon the
parties hereto, and judgment upon the award rendered may be entered by a
California Court having jurisdiction. Each party waives any right of appeal it
may have. Nothing herein set forth shall prevent Buyer and Sellers from settling
any dispute by mutual agreement at any time.
(h) AMENDMENTS AND WAIVERS. No amendment of any provision of this Agreement
shall be valid unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Parties
hereto. No waiver by any Party of any default, misrepresentation, or breach of
warranty or covenant hereunder, whether intentional or not, shall be deemed to
extend to any prior or subsequent default, misrepresentation, or breach of
warranty or covenant hereunder or affect in any way any rights arising by virtue
of any prior or subsequent such occurrence.
(i) INCORPORATION OF SCHEDULES. The Exhibits identified in this Agreement are
incorporated herein by reference and made a part hereof.
(j) SEVERABILITY OF PROVISIONS. If any covenant, agreement, provision or term
of this Agreement is held to be invalid for any reason whatsoever, then such
covenant, agreement, provision or term will be deemed severable from the
remaining covenants, agreements, provisions and terms of this Agreement and will
in no way affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this
Agreement.
(k) SUCCESSOR LAWS. Any reference to any particular Code section or any other
Legal Requirement will be interpreted to include any revision of or successor to
that section regardless of how it is numbered or classified.
(l) DELIVERY BY FACSIMILE. This Agreement and any signed Contract entered
into in connection herewith or contemplated hereby, and any amendments hereto or
thereto, to the extent signed and delivered by means of a facsimile machine,
shall be treated in all manner and respects as an original Contract and shall be
considered to have the same binding legal effects as if it were the original
signed version thereof delivered in person. At the request of any party hereto
or to any such Contract, each other party hereto or thereto shall re-execute
original forms thereof and deliver them to all other parties. No party hereto or
to any such Contract shall raise the use of a facsimile machine to deliver a
signature or the fact that any signature or Contract was transmitted or
communicated through the use of facsimile machine as a defense to the formation
of a Contract and each such party forever waives any such defense.
(m) ATTORNEY FEE AND COST PROVISION. In the event that either party hereto
shall commence any action or arbitration proceeding against the other party
hereto arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, or contesting the
validity of this Agreement or any provision hereof, the prevailing party shall
be entitled to recover from the other party reasonable attorney's fees and
related costs, fees and expenses incurred by the prevailing party in connection
with such action or proceeding.
