Exhibit E

 

Alternative Dispute Resolution

(a)The Parties shall attempt to resolve any and all disputes, claims or controversies arising out of or relating to this Agreement promptly by negotiation between executives who have authority to settle the controversy. If such disputes, claims or controversies are not resolved through such negotiation, then they shall be submitted to CPR for mediation, and if the matter is not resolved through mediation, for final and binding arbitration pursuant to the arbitration clause set forth below. Either Party may initiate arbitration with respect to the matters submitted to negotiation by filing a written demand for arbitration at any time following the initial negotiation session.

 

(b)To the extent not resolved by mediation, any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof, including the determination of the scope or applicability of this agreement to arbitrate, shall be determined by arbitration conducted in the English language. The arbitration shall take place in New York, New York. The arbitration shall be administered by CPR pursuant to its Arbitration Rules and Procedures. References herein to any arbitration rules or procedures mean such rules or procedures as amended from time to time, including any successor rules or procedures, and references herein to the CPR include any successor thereto. The arbitration shall be before three (3) arbitrators. Each Party shall designate one arbitrator in accordance with the “screened” appointment procedure provided in Rule 5.4 of the CPR Rules. The two Party-appointed arbitrators will select the third, who will serve as the panel’s chair or president. All three (3) arbitrators shall have experience in the area under dispute. This arbitration provision, and the arbitration itself, shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York, and the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16.

 

(c)Consistent with the expedited nature of arbitration, each Party will, upon the written request of the other Party, promptly provide the other with copies of documents on which the producing Party may rely in support of or in opposition to any claim or defense. At the request of a Party, the arbitrators shall have the discretion to order examination by deposition of witnesses to the extent the arbitrator deems such additional discovery relevant and appropriate. Depositions shall be limited to a maximum of [*****] per Party and shall be held within [*****] of the grant of a request. Additional depositions may be scheduled only with the permission of the arbitrators, and for good cause shown. Each deposition shall be limited to a maximum of one day’s duration. All objections are reserved for the arbitration hearing except for objections based on privilege and proprietary or confidential information. The Parties shall not utilize any other discovery mechanisms, including international processes and U.S. federal statutes, to obtain additional evidence for use in the arbitration. Any dispute regarding discovery, or the relevance or scope thereof, shall be determined by the arbitrators, which determination shall be conclusive. All discovery shall be completed within [*****] following the appointment of the arbitrators. All costs and/or fees relating to the retrieval, review and production of electronic discovery shall be paid by the Party requesting such discovery.

 

 

[*****] Confidential portions of this document have been redacted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

 
 

 

(d)The panel of arbitrators shall have no power to award non-monetary or equitable relief of any sort. The arbitrators will have no authority to award punitive or other damages not measured by the prevailing Party’s actual damages, except as may be required by statute. Each Party expressly waives and foregoes any right to consequential, punitive, special, exemplary or similar damages or lost profits. The arbitrators shall have no power or authority, under the CPR Rules for Non-Administered Arbitration or otherwise, to relieve the Parties from their agreement hereunder to arbitrate or otherwise to amend or disregard any provision of this Agreement. Subject to the provisions set forth in subsection ‎(e) below, the award of the arbitrators shall be final, binding and the sole and exclusive remedy to the Parties. Either Party may seek to confirm and enforce any final award entered in arbitration, in any court of competent jurisdiction. The cost of the arbitration, including the fees of the arbitrators, shall be borne by the Party the arbitrator determines has not prevailed in the arbitration.

 

(e)If an arbitral award does not contain an award of money damages in excess of [*****] then the arbitral award shall not be appealable and shall only be subject to such challenges as would otherwise be permissible under the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16. In the event that the arbitration results in an arbitral award, which imposes a monetary award in excess of [*****] such award may be appealed to a tribunal of appellate arbitrators via the CPR Arbitration Appeal Procedure, whose determination shall be final.

 

(f)Except as may be required by law, neither a Party nor an arbitrator may disclose the existence, content, or results of any arbitration hereunder without the prior written consent of both Parties.
