To the extent permitted by Law, all rights and remedies existing under this Agreement are cumulative to and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available under applicable Law.

5.11 Arbitration.
(a) In the event the parties to this Agreement are unable to resolve a disputed claim or claims, any of the parties may request arbitration of the matter unless the amount of the damage or loss is at issue in pending litigation with a third party, in which event arbitration will not be commenced until such amount is ascertained or all parties agree to arbitration; and in either such event the matter will be settled by arbitration conducted by three arbitrators. Buyer and the Company will each select one arbitrator, and the two arbitrators so selected will select a third arbitrator. The arbitrators will set a limited time period and establish procedures designed to reduce the cost and time for discovery while allowing the parties an opportunity, adequate in the sole judgment of the arbitrators, to discover relevant information from the opposing parties about the subject matter of the dispute. The arbitrators will rule upon motions to compel or limit discovery and will have the authority to impose sanctions, including attorneys’ fees and costs, to the extent as a court of competent law or equity, should the arbitrators determine that discovery was sought without substantial justification or that discovery was refused or objected to without substantial justification. The decision of a majority of the three arbitrators as to the validity and amount of any claim will be binding and conclusive upon the parties to this Agreement. Such decision will be written and will be supported by written findings of fact and conclusions which will set forth the award, judgment, decree or order awarded by the arbitrators.
(b) Judgment upon any award rendered by the arbitrators may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. Any such arbitration will be held in Los Angeles, California under the Commercial Arbitration Rules then in effect of JAMS/ENDISPUTE.
5.12 Attorney’s Fees.

Attorney’s fees incurred in enforcing any judgment in respect of this Agreement are recoverable as a separate item. The preceding parties intend that the sentence be severable from the ether provisions of this Agreement, survive any judgment and, to the maximum extent permitted by law, not be deemed merged into such judgment.
5.13 Severability.
If any provision of this Agreement is determined to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable by any Governmental Entity, the remaining provisions of this Agreement to the extent permitted by Law shall remain in full force and effect; provided that the essential terms and conditions of
this Agreement for all parties remain valid, binding and enforceable. In event of any such determination, the parties agree to negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement to fulfill as closely as possible the original intents and purposes hereof. To the extent permitted by Law, the parties hereby to the same extent waive any provision of Law that renders any provision hereof prohibited or unenforceable in any respect.
