13. Governing Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity, and interpretation of this Note will be governed by and construed in accordance with the domestic laws of the State of California, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of California or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of California.

 

14. Dispute Resolution.

 

(a) In any claim or dispute arising out of or relating to any performance required under this Agreement, or the interpretation, validity or enforceability hereof (“Claim”), the parties to a Claim shall use their best efforts to settle the Claim informally. To this effect, they shall consult and negotiate with each other in good faith and, recognizing their mutual interests, attempt to reach a just and equitable resolution satisfactory to the parties. If the Claim cannot be settled through negotiation within a period of seven (7) days, the parties agree to attempt in good faith to settle the Claim through mediation, administered by a mediator mutually agreeable to the parties, before resorting to arbitration. If they do not reach such resolution, or an agreed upon mediator cannot be identified, within a period of thirty (30) days, then, upon notice by either party to the other they shall commence arbitration as set forth below. A party failing or refusing to submit a claim to mediation shall not be entitled to an award of attorney’s fees even if later they are determined to be the prevailing party.

 

(b) The parties agree to submit all Claims and any dispute related to this Agreement to binding arbitration before JAMS. The arbitration shall be held in accordance with the JAMS then-current Streamlined Arbitration Rules & Procedures (and no other JAMS rules), which currently are available at: https://www.jamsadr.com/rules-streamlined-arbitration. The arbitrator shall be either a retired judge, or an attorney who is experienced in commercial contracts and licensed to practice law in California, selected pursuant to the JAMS rules. The parties expressly agree that any arbitration shall be conducted in Orange County, California. Each party understands and agrees that by signing this Agreement, such party is waiving the right to a jury. The arbitrator shall apply California substantive law in the adjudication of all Claims. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any party to a Claim may apply to the Superior Courts located in Orange County for a provisional remedy, including, but not limited to, a temporary restraining order or a preliminary injunction. The application for or enforcement of any provisional remedy by a party shall not operate as a waiver of the agreement to submit a dispute to binding arbitration pursuant to this provision. After a demand for arbitration has been filed and served, the parties may engage in reasonable discovery in the form of requests for documents, interrogatories, requests for admission, and depositions. The arbitrator shall resolve any disputes concerning discovery. The arbitrator shall award costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees to the prevailing party, as determined by the arbitrator, to the extent permitted by California law, unless the prevailing party failed or refused to first submit their claim to mediation in accordance with subpart(a) above. The arbitrator’s decision shall be final and binding upon the parties. The arbitrator’s decision shall include the arbitrator’s findings of fact and conclusions of law and shall be issued in writing within thirty (30) days of the conclusion of the arbitration proceedings. The prevailing party may submit the arbitrator’s decision to Superior Courts located in Orange County for an entry of judgment thereon. Any party’s failure to pay their pro rata share of any arbitration fees and expenses shall not be grounds to delay the appointment of an arbitrator or to stay the arbitration. Further, any failure of a party to pay such fees and/or expenses within 21 days of their due date shall constitute a default by that party and entitle the non-defaulting party to the entry of a default judgment by the arbitrator against the defaulting party. Any default judgment awarded by an arbitrator shall be fully enforceable, and all defenses to entry, enforcement, or collection upon that default judgment are waived.

15. Savings Clause. Nothing contained in this Note shall be deemed to establish or require the payment of a rate of interest or other charges in excess of the maximum interest rate permitted by applicable law. In the event that the rate of interest required to be paid or other charges hereunder exceed the maximum interest permitted by such law, any payments in excess of such maximum shall be credited against amounts owed by Borrower to Lender.

 

16. Cumulative Remedies. Each right, power, and remedy of the Lender as provided for in this Note, or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise shall be cumulative and concurrent and shall be in addition to every other such right, power, or remedy, and the exercise or beginning of the exercise by the Borrower of any one or more of such rights, powers, or remedies.

 

17. No Waiver. No failure or delay by the Lender in insisting upon the strict performance of any term, condition, or covenant of this Note or in exercising any right, power, or remedy consequent upon an Event of Default shall constitute a waiver of any such term, condition or covenant or of any such Event of Default, or preclude the Lender from exercising any such right, power, or remedy at any later time or times. By accepting payment after the due date of any amount payable under this Note, the Lender shall not be deemed to waive the right either to require prompt payments when due of all the amounts payable under the this Note, or to declare a default for failure to effect such prompt payment of any such other amount.

 

18. Counterparts. This Note may be executed in counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original, but all of which together will be deemed to be one and the same agreement. Counterparts may be delivered via facsimile, electronic mail (including PDF or any electronic signature including, without limitation, AdobeSign) or other transmission method, and any counterpart so delivered will be deemed to have been duly and validly delivered and be valid and effective for all purposes.

 

19. Time is of the Essence. Time is of the essence with respect to all of Borrower’s obligations and duties under this Note.
