or relates to this Agreement or its breach (with the exception of rights to

dispute shall be resolved in binding arbitration in accordance with the
following procedures: (i) the dispute must be resolved by arbitration
administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Commercial
Arbitration Rules, (ii) any judgment on the award rendered by the
arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction, (iii)
the location of the arbitration shall be in Dallas, Texas, USA, and (iv) the

method allowed by the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. In addition, all of
the following conditions shall apply: The arbitrator(s) shall each be a
natural person who has never been employed (either as an employee or as an
independent consultant) by either of the parties, or any parent, subsidiary
or affiliate thereof. The arbitrator(s) may upon request exclude from use in
the arbitration proceeding any evidence not made available to the other
party pursuant to a proper discovery request. The arbitrator(s) shall issue
a reasoned award. The cost of the arbitration shall be borne equally by the
parties pending the award. Upon the decision of the arbitrator(s), the
prevailing party shall be entitled to receive from the other party its

or award of the arbitration panel that does not comport with the express
provisions of this Section. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable

arbitration or case involving any other party subject to this Agreement,
whether through class arbitration proceedings or otherwise.
