2. Representations and Warranties of Company. Company hereby represents and
warrants to Purchaser that PPP is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the
laws of the state of Delaware, and has the corporate power and authority to carry on its business
as it is now being conducted and to enter into this Agreement and perform its obligations
hereunder.
3. Governing Law and Arbitration. This Agreement will be governed by and
interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Arizona without regard to any
conflict of laws principles.
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 dispute resolution clause, shall be determined by arbitration
in the State of Arizona, before one (1) arbitrator. The arbitration shall be administered by
JAMS pursuant to its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures. Judgment on the
award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. This clause shall not preclude parties
from seeking provisional remedies in aid of arbitration from a court of appropriate
jurisdiction.
The prevailing party will be entitled to recover its reasonable attorneys’ fees and arbitration
costs from the other party. The arbitration award shall be final and binding. Each party
commits that prior to commencement of arbitration proceedings, the parties shall submit the
dispute to JAMS for mediation. The parties will cooperate with JAMS and with one another
in selecting a mediator from JAMS panel of neutrals, and in promptly scheduling the
mediation proceedings. The parties covenant that they will participate in the mediation in
good faith, and that they will share equally in its costs. The mediation will be conducted by
each party designating a duly authorized officer or other representative to represent the party
with the authority to bind the party, and that the parties agree to exchange informally such
information as is reasonably necessary and relevant to the issues being mediated. All offers,
promises, conduct, and statements, whether oral or written, made in the course of the
mediation by any of the parties, their agents, employees, experts, and attorneys, and by the
mediator or any JAMS employees, are confidential, privileged, and inadmissible for any
purpose, including impeachment, in any arbitration or other proceeding involving the
parties, provided that evidence that is otherwise admissible or discoverable shall not be
rendered inadmissible or nondiscoverable as a result of its use in the mediation. If the
dispute is not resolved within thirty (30) days from the date of the submission of the dispute
to mediation (or such later date as the parties may mutually agree in writing), the
administration of the arbitration shall proceed. The mediation may continue, if the parties so
agree, after the appointment of the arbitrator.
Unless otherwise agreed by the parties, the mediator shall be disqualified from serving as
arbitrator in the case. The pendency of a mediation shall not preclude a party from seeking
provisional remedies in aid of the arbitration from a court of appropriate jurisdiction, and the
parties agree not to defend against any application for provisional relief on the ground that a
mediation is pending.
4.
Statutory Right of Cancellation for Conflict of Interest. Notice is given that, pursuant to
A.R.S. § 38-511, the County may cancel any contract without penalty or further obligation within
three years after execution of the contract, if any person significantly involved in initiating,
negotiating, securing, drafting, or creating the contract on behalf of the County is at any time,
while the contract is in effect, an employee or agent of any other party to the contract in any
capacity or consultant to any other party of the contract with respect to the subject matter of the
contract.
5. Entire Agreement. This Agreement contains the entire understanding of the parties
with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all previous verbal and written
agreements between the parties hereto with respect to such subject matter.
6. Amendment. This Agreement may only be amended by a written instrument executed
by both of the parties hereto.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Agreement as of the date
first above written.
