(b) Binding, confidential arbitration pursuant to this Section 12.10(b) will be the only remedy for any dispute or claim of any kind, including third-party claims arising under, concerning, or relating to this Agreement, its interpretation, its validity (including any claim that all or any part of this Agreement is void or voidable), its termination, or its subject matter, whether sounding in contract, tort, equity, statutory law, administrative regulation or otherwise (a “Claim”). Any Claim, will be resolved in a confidential expedited arbitration administered by the JAMS pursuant to its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures (a copy of which can be found here: https://www.jamsadr.com/rules-comprehensive-arbitration) (the “Rules”) then in effect. For purposes of clarification, the parties understand and agree that (a) Section 12.10(a) will apply to any arbitration under this Section 12.10(b), both as to the governing law to be applied by the Arbitrator to the Claim and as to the law governing the arbitration and the interpretation of this Section 12.10(b), and (b) the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16, will also apply to any arbitration under this Section 12.10(b) by virtue of Article VI, Clause 2 to the United States Constitution. Any Claim submitted to arbitration will be decided by a single, neutral arbitrator (the “Arbitrator”) mutually agreed by the parties or, if they cannot agree within 15 business days of the commencement of arbitration, in accordance with the Rules. The Arbitrator must be qualified as a Texas attorney who has at least ten years of prior combined professional experience either as a judge or in private practice as a business or commercial litigator. Any arbitration hearings or conferences pursuant to this Section 12.10(b) will be conducted exclusively by means of conference telephone or other communications technology, as reasonably determined by the Arbitrator, by means of which all persons participating in those hearings or conferences can hear each other, and neither the parties, the Arbitrator or any attorneys, witnesses or other representatives of the parties will be required to be physically present in any particular place for purposes of any hearing or conference unless the Arbitrator determines that a physical hearing is necessary to effectively arbitrate the Claim, in which case that physical hearing will be in a location selected by the Arbitrator to be reasonably convenient to the parties and the Arbitrator. The Arbitrator will have the exclusive power to adjudicate the alleged breach, enforcement, interpretation or validity of this Agreement, including as to the scope or applicability of this Section 12.10(b). Discovery within the arbitration will be as the Arbitrator determines is reasonable or necessary for the fair and efficient arbitration of the Claim. All JAMS fees and costs will be borne equally by the parties, except that in rendering the award, the Arbitrator will allocate and award an appropriate share of the prevailing party’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, to the losing party. Judgment on any arbitration award may be entered and enforced by any court of competent jurisdiction. If there is more than one Claim between the parties, all such Claims may be heard in a single arbitration under this Section 12.10(b). Except to the extent required by applicable Law that cannot be waived or modified by this Agreement, Claims under this Section 12.10(b) may not be consolidated into a single arbitration proceeding with claims between the Company and other persons, even if those claims are governed by an arbitration proceeding similar or identical to this Agreement and even those other persons are similarly situated and their claims are similar or identical in the nature to a Claim under this Agreement, provided that nothing in this sentence will be interpreted to prevent the Arbitrator from granting public injunctive relief in conformance with applicable Law. EACH OF THE PARTIES HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LITIGATION ARISING UNDER, CONCERNING, OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ITS INTERPRETATION, ITS VALIDITY (INCLUDING ANY CLAIM THAT ALL OR ANY PART OF THIS AGREEMENT IS VOID OR VOIDABLE), ITS TERMINATION, OR ITS SUBJECT MATTER, WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT, EQUITY, STATUTORY LAW, ADMINISTRATIVE REGULATION OR OTHERWISE.
