8.8    Dispute Resolution. Any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or the breach, termination or invalidity thereof, shall be resolved as follows:

(a)    the Executive Officers of both Parties shall meet to attempt to resolve such dispute.

(b)    If the Executive Officers cannot resolve such dispute within thirty (30) (twenty (20) days in the event of non-payment) days after either Party requests such a meeting in writing, then upon written notice by either Party to the other Party, such dispute, controversy or claim shall be finally resolved by binding arbitration conducted in Florida under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association by three (3) arbitrators. Each Party shall be entitled to appoint one (1) arbitrator. The Parties shall appoint their respective arbitrators within thirty (30) days after submission for arbitration. The two (2) arbitrators so appointed shall agree on the appointment of the third (3rd) arbitrator from the list of arbitrators maintained by the American Arbitration Association. If the Parties' appointed arbitrators shall fail to agree, within thirty (30) days from the date both Parties' arbitrators have been appointed, on the identity of the third (3rd) arbitrator, then such arbitrator shall be appointed by the appropriate administrative body of the American Arbitration Association.

(c)    Within ten (10) days of appointment of the full arbitration panel, the Parties shall exchange their final proposed positions with respect to the matters to be arbitrated, which shall approximate as closely as possible the closest positions of the Parties previously taken in the negotiations.

In the event the arbitrators seek the guidance of the law of any jurisdiction, the law of the State of Florida shall govern.

(e)    The arbitrators shall make their decision known to the Parties as promptly as possible by delivering written notice of their decision to both Parties. Such written notice need not justify their decision. The Parties will execute any and all papers necessary to obligate the Parties to the position selected by the arbitration Panel within five (5) days of receipt of notice of such selection. The decision of the arbitrators shall be final and binding on the Parties, and specific performance may be ordered by any court of competent jurisdiction.

(f)    The Parties will bear their own costs in preparing for the arbitration. The costs of the arbitrators will be equally divided between the Parties.

(g)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 8.8, if either Party in its sole judgment believes that any such breach of this Agreement could cause it irreparable harm, such Party (i) will be entitled to seek equitable relief in order to avoid such irreparable harm, and (ii) will not be required to follow the procedures set forth in Section 8.8(a)-(f) with respect to seeking such relief.

8.9    Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument.

8.10    Headings. The headings in this Agreement have been inserted for convenience and do not constitute matter to be construed or interpreted in connection with this Agreement.

8.11    Severability. In the event that any provision of this Agreement becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, unenforceable or void, this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect without said provision, which shall be replaced with an enforceable provision closest in intent and economic effect as the severed provision; provided that no such severability shall be effective if it materially changes the economic benefit of this Agreement to any Party.
