Arbitration Agreement: Purchaser and Seller agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or related to this agreement or a purchase of Shares shall be resolved by binding arbitration in San Francisco, California before a retired judge. The arbitration shall be administered by JAMS pursuant to its Arbitration Rules and Procedures (“Rules”). If one party fails to respond within twenty days after the other party mails a written list of arbitrators by either agreeing to one of the proposed arbitrators or suggesting three or more alternate arbitrators, the proposing party may select the arbitrator from among its initial list and JAMS shall then appoint that arbitrator to preside over the arbitration. If the parties are unable to agree on an arbitrator, the parties shall select an arbitrator pursuant to the Rules. Where reasonable, the arbitrator shall schedule the arbitration hearing within four months after being appointed. The arbitrator must render a decision in writing, explaining the legal and factual basis for decision as to each of the principal controverted issues. The arbitrator's decision will be final and binding upon the parties. A judgment upon any award may be entered in a court of competent jurisdiction. Each party shall be responsible for advancing one-half of the costs of arbitration, including all JAMS fees; provided that, in the award, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover all of its costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees and costs, arbitrator fees, JAMS fees and costs, and any attorneys' fees and costs incurred in compelling arbitration.

Sections 1 et seq.).
