12. Resolution of Disputes. YOU WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO JURY OR COURT TRIAL TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH HEREIN.  All disputes and claims relating to WHG or its past or present related entities, officers, directors, employees, investors, or any other claims or causes of action relating to the services provided by WHG shall be settled totally and finally by mediation and binding arbitration as set forth herein. If a dispute arises, it is expected that the parties will attempt in good faith to resolve any such dispute in an amicable and mutually satisfactory manner.

In the event such efforts are unsuccessful, and as a prerequisite to filing a claim in arbitration, either party may serve a notice requesting mediation (“Notice of Mediation”) on the other party.  Notice of Mediation shall be personally delivered or sent by prepaid registered airmail or overnight courier, and shall be effective on receipt thereof by the party to whom it is addressed.  Proof of receipt shall be a receipt signed by any officer or responsible official of the party to whom it is addressed. The Notice of Mediation shall be dated, and without prejudice to any right under this Agreement permitting subsequent modifications, shall specify the claims or issues which are to be subjected to mediation, including the requested remedies sought in the mediation.  The parties shall attempt, in good faith, to select a mutually acceptable mediator. The mediation shall take place in Knox County, Tennessee within 45 days after the selection of the mediator.  The party that serves the Notice of Mediation shall be responsible for the costs of the mediation.  The mediation, and any materials, briefs, statements, documents, or information exchanged at or in anticipation of the mediation, shall be kept confidential and shall not be admissible for any purpose in any legal proceeding.

If differences cannot be resolved by mediation as set forth in the paragraph above, the parties agree that in order to promote to the fullest extent reasonably possible a mutually amicable resolution of the dispute in a timely, efficient and cost-effective manner, they will waive their respective rights to a trial by jury and settle their dispute by submitting the controversy to binding arbitration in accordance with the commercial rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), except that all parties shall be entitled to discovery rights as limited by the arbitrator, but no greater than provided by the Federal Rules of Procedures then in effect.
In order for a claim to be considered timely filed in arbitration, a party shall submit a demand for arbitration (the “Demand for Arbitration”), along with payment for the applicable filing and case management fees, with the AAA, no later than 60 days after the date of the mediation.  The Demand for Arbitration shall also be personally delivered or sent to respondent(s) by prepaid registered airmail or overnight courier, and shall be effective on receipt thereof by the party to whom it is addressed.  Proof of receipt shall be a receipt signed by any officer or responsible official of the party to whom it is addressed. The Demand for Arbitration shall be dated and shall specify the claims or issues which are to be subject to arbitration, including the requested remedies sought in the arbitration.  Any answer or cross-complaint shall be served within the deadlines set forth in the AAA’s commercial arbitration rules.

Upon service of the Demand for Arbitration, the parties shall attempt, in good faith, to select a mutually agreeable arbitrator from the AAA’s Panel of Arbitrators. The parties agree that the arbitrator shall be an attorney at law, who shall have expertise in business law transactions. If the parties are unable to select and notify the AAA of a mutually acceptable arbitrator within 21 days after service of the Demand for Arbitration, the AAA shall submit to the parties a list of seven proposed arbitrators who have the Preferred Expertise (the “Arbitrator List”).  Within seven days of service of the Arbitrator List, each party shall submit a letter to the AAA ranking four arbitrators on the Arbitrator List in order of preference and striking the remaining three names.  The AAA shall then select the arbitrator on the Arbitrator List with the highest combined ranking.  The AAA shall notify the parties in writing once an arbitrator has been mutually selected or appointed from the Arbitrator List.

The arbitration shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §1 et. seq., and the judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered by any court having jurisdiction thereof. Either party may elect to participate in the arbitration telephonically. Any substantive or procedural rights other than the enforceability of the arbitration agreement shall be governed by the law of the State of Tennesse, which is What’s Happening George’s state of incorporation, without giving effect to principles of conflicts of laws.

The parties further expressly agree that (i) the arbitrator shall only reach his decision by applying strict rules of law to the facts, (ii) the arbitration shall be conducted in the English language, in the county and state of WHG corporate office in the United States, (iii) subject to sub-clause (iv) of this paragraph, the party filing the Demand for Arbitration shall be responsible for all fees and costs charged by the AAA and the arbitrator, provided, however, that the respondent shall be responsible for the filing fees of any Cross-Complaint that it files with the AAA; (iv) the party in whose favor the arbitration award is rendered shall be entitled to recover costs and expenses of the arbitration including, but not limited to, attorneys’ fees and the cost and expense of administration of the arbitration proceedings, and any costs and attorney’s fees incurred in executing on or enforcing the arbitration award, (v) neither party (nor any of WHG’s related entities, officers, directors, employees, investors, distributors or vendors) shall have any liability for any punitive, incidental, consequential, special or indirect damages, including loss of future revenue or income, or loss of business reputation or opportunity relating to the breach or alleged breach of this Agreement or for any act, omission, or other conduct arising out of the parties’ business relationship; and (vi) the arbitral award shall be issued in the county and state of the WHG corporate office in the United States.

Except as provided below, no party shall be entitled to commence or maintain any action in a court of law upon any matter in dispute until such matter shall have been submitted and determined as provided herein and then only for the enforcement of such arbitration award. Provided that, notwithstanding this mediation and arbitration policy, either party may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction in the county and state of the WHG corporate office in the United States, or in any other jurisdiction as necessary to enforce an arbitration award or the injunctive relief granted by a court, to seek a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction, or other injunctive relief before, during the pendency of, or after the rendition of, a decision in any arbitration proceeding. The institution of any action for equitable relief or to enforce an award or order shall not constitute a waiver of the right or obligation of any party to submit any claim seeking relief other than injunctive or enforcement relief to arbitration. Judgment upon the award may be entered by the United States Federal District Court or Superior Court located in the county and state of the WHG corporate office in the United States, or application may be made to such court for the judicial acceptance of the award and order of enforcement, as the case may be, if the arbitrator’s award or decision is not complied with within seven days of the arbitrator’s decision. This agreement to arbitrate shall survive any termination or expiration of any other agreements between the parties.

Jurisdiction and venue of any matter not subject to mediation or arbitration shall reside in Knox County, State of Tennessee unless the laws of the state in which you reside expressly requires the application of its laws.  The applicable provisions relating to mediation in the Tennessee Code of Civil Procedure and the Tennessee Evidence Code shall govern all matters relating to any mediation conducted pursuant to this Agreement.  The Federal Arbitration Act shall govern all matters relating to arbitration.  The law of the State of Tennessee shall govern all other matters relating to or arising from this Agreement unless the laws of the state in which you reside expressly requires the application of its laws.

13. Waiver. No delay or omission by either party hereto to exercise any right or power occurring upon any noncompliance or default by the other party with respect to any of the terms of this Agreement shall impair any such right or power or be construed to be a waiver thereof. The terms and conditions of this Agreement may be waived or amended only in writing and only by the party that is entitled to the benefits of the term(s) or condition(s) being waived or amended. Unless stated otherwise, all remedies provided for in this Agreement shall be cumulative and in addition to and not in lieu of any other remedies available to either party at law, in equity, or otherwise.

14. Unenforceability. If any provision of this Agreement or any word, phrase, clause, sentence, or other portion thereof should be held to be unenforceable or invalid for any reason, then provided that the essential consideration for entering into this Agreement on the part of any party is not unreasonably impaired, such provision or portion thereof shall be modified or deleted in such manner as to render this Agreement as modified legal and enforceable to the maximum extent permitted under applicable laws.
