Arbitration.

The place of arbitration shall be New York, New York, United States and all proceedings and communications shall be in English. Either Party may apply to the arbitrators for interim injunctive relief until the arbitration award is rendered or the controversy is otherwise resolved. Either Party also may, without waiving any remedy under this Agreement, seek from any court having jurisdiction any injunctive or provisional relief necessary to protect the rights or property of that Party pending the arbitration award. The arbitrators shall have authority to award punitive any other type of damages not measured by a Party’s direct compensatory damages, and in all cases, any decision or determination by the arbitrators shall comply with Article 14, as applicable. The Parties agree that, in the event of a good faith dispute over the nature or quality of performance under this Agreement, neither Party may terminate this Agreement until final resolution of the dispute through arbitration or other judicial determination. The Parties further agree that any payments made pursuant to this Agreement pending resolution of the dispute shall be refunded if an arbitrator or court determines that such payments are not due.

Costs and Fees. Each Party shall bear its own attorneys’ fees, costs, and disbursements arising out of the arbitration, and shall pay an equal share of the fees and costs of the arbitrators.

Neither Party shall assign, in whole or in part, the MSA without the prior written consent of the other Party, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, except in the event of a sale of all, or substantially all of the assets of a Party to which this MSA relates, in which case no consent shall be required, in which case, the Party shall provide a written notice to the other Party within one (1) month of the sale.

Amendment; Waiver. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no alteration of or modification to the MSA shall be effective unless made in writing and executed by an authorized representative of both Parties. No course of dealing or failing of either Party to strictly enforce any term, right or condition of the MSA in any instance shall be construed as a general waiver or relinquishment of such term, right or condition. The observance of any provision of the MSA may be waived (either generally or any given instance and either retroactively or prospectively) only with the written consent of the Party granting such waiver.

Severability. The Parties do not intend to violate any applicable law. However, if any sentence, paragraph, clause or combination of the MSA is in violation of any law or is found to be otherwise unenforceable, such sentence, paragraph, clause or combination of the same shall be deleted and the remainder of the MSA shall remain binding, provided that such deletion does not alter the basic purpose and structure of the MSA.

Construction. The Parties mutually acknowledge that they have participated in the negotiation and preparation of the MSA. Ambiguities, if any, in the MSA shall not be construed against any Party, irrespective of which Party may be deemed to have drafted the MSA or authorized the ambiguous provision.

Interpretation. The captions and headings to the MSA are for convenience only, and are to be of no force or effect in construing or interpreting any of the provisions of the MSA. Unless context otherwise clearly requires, whenever used in the MSA: (a) the words “include” or “including” shall be construed as incorporating, also, “but not limited to” or “without limitation”; (b) the words “hereof,” “herein,” “hereby” and derivative or similar words refer to the MSA; (c) the word “law” or “laws” means any applicable, legally binding statute, ordinance, resolution, regulation, code, guideline, rule, order, decree, judgment, injunction, mandate or other legally binding requirement of a governmental authority (including a court, tribunal, agency, legislative body or other instrumentality of any (i) government or country or territory, (ii) any state, province, county, city or other political subdivision thereof, or (iii) any supranational body); and (d) all references to the word “will” are interchangeable with the word “shall” and shall be understood to be imperative or mandatory in nature.

Whenever any matter hereunder requires consent or approval, such consent or approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

Counterparts. This MSA may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original, but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument.
