To the extent that any filing fee to initiate arbitration exceeds the cost of filing suit in state or federal court in Los Angeles County, California, Machinima will reimburse Affiliate for the difference. 17.2 17.2 Arbitration shall be subject to the Federal Arbitration Act and not any state arbitration law. The arbitration shall be conducted before one commercial arbitrator with substantial experience in resolving commercial contract disputes from the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) or JAMS. As modified by this Agreement, and unless otherwise agreed upon by the parties in writing, the arbitration will be governed by the AAA’s or JAMS’s rules for commercial arbitration. For more information on AAA, its rules and procedures, and how to file an arbitration claim, you may call AAA at 800-778-7879 or visit the AAA website at adr.org.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the arbitrator shall have the exclusive authority to interpret the scope of this clause, and the arbitrability of the controversy, dispute, demand, count, claim, or cause of action. 17.4 The parties further agree that they may bring claims only in their individual capacity and not as a plaintiff or class representative in any purported class or representative proceeding. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding and may not award class-wide relief. This provision is material and is a condition of the agreement to arbitrate. In the event that a determination is made that this class action waiver is void or unenforceable for any reason, the parties agree that the agreement to arbitrate disputes will be null and void. 17.5 Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. All arbitration proceedings shall be closed to the public and confidential and all records relating thereto shall be permanently sealed, except as necessary to obtain court confirmation of the arbitration award. 17.6 If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, the dispute shall be exclusively brought in state or federal court in Los Angeles County, California. 18. Severability. Except as otherwise provided in Section 17, if any provision of this Agreement is, for any reason, invalid and/or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall continue to be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law. The parties agree to replace an invalid and/or unenforceable provision with a valid and/or enforceable provision which most closely approximates the intent and economic effect of the invalid and/or unenforceable provision. 19. Non-Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. A waiver by either party of any of the terms or conditions of this Agreement shall not, in any instance, be deemed or construed to be a waiver of such terms or conditions for the future or of any subsequent breach thereof. All remedies, rights, undertakings, obligations and agreements contained in this Agreement shall be cumulative and none of them shall be in limitation of any other remedy, right, undertaking, obligation, or agreement of either party. 20. Mutual Covenants. Affiliate and Machinima each agree that they will undertake the activities contemplated by this Agreement in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. 21. Governing Law. The construction and interpretation of this Agreement shall at all time and in all respects be governed by and construed according to the laws of the United States and the State of California (without regard to California conflict of laws provisions) except that the arbitration provision shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act. The application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is expressly excluded. 22. Injunctive Relief. Affiliate hereby acknowledges that it will be impossible to measure in money the damages that would be suffered if Affiliate breaches the exclusive rights granted to Machinima hereunder and that in the event of any such breach, Machinima will be irreparably damaged and will not have an adequate remedy at law. Machinima shall, therefore, be entitled to injunctive relief, including specific performance, to enforce such rights and may seek the foregoing in any court of competent jurisdiction, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 17 to the contrary. Affiliate’s sole and exclusive remedy for Machinima’s breach, termination or cancellation of this Agreement or any term hereof shall be an action for damages brought pursuant to Section 17 and Affiliate irrevocably waives any right to equitable or injunctive relief or to enjoin or restrain Machinima and its successors, video distribution partners, assigns, and licensees from exploiting the Affiliate Content Channels hereunder. 23. Captions. Section or other headings contained in this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. 24. No Presumption. Affiliate represents and warrants that Affiliate has had the opportunity to review this Agreement before signing it and that Affiliate has obtained legal counsel or other professional advice or deliberately refrained from obtaining legal counsel or other professional advice in connection herewith. This Agreement shall be construed as though jointly drafted by Affiliate and Machinima with no presumption drawn against either as drafter. 25. Counterparts and Email. For the convenience of the parties, the parties may execute any number of counterparts of this Agreement hereto. Each such counterpart shall be deemed to be an original instrument but all such counterparts taken together shall constitute one and the same Agreement. This Agreement may be delivered following execution by Email or fax with executed originals from Affiliate to be delivered to Machinima thereafter by mail, to the address above. 26. Notices. All notices to be given to the other party hereunder will be addressed to such party at the address set forth on page 1 of the Cover Sheet, or at such other address as such party may designate in writing from time to time. All notices must be in writing and must be served by personal delivery, or certified mail, return receipt requested. Except as otherwise provided herein, such notices will be deemed given on the date personally delivered, or the date two (2) business days after the date mailed if mailed in the United States, and five (5) business days after the date mailed if mailed outside the United States. 27. Entire Agreement. These Terms and Conditions, along with the Cover Sheet, shall constitute a binding agreement between the parties as of the Effective Date and supersedes any and all prior written or oral agreements between the parties in connection with the subject matter hereof, including any letter agreement regarding the inclusion of the Affiliate Content Channel(s) in the Machinima Distribution Network. This Agreement may not be modified or amended except in writing signed by the parties h
