4. TERMINATION

a. If either Party materially breaches any of the provisions of this Agreement, the non-breaching Party may terminate this Agreement by giving written notification to the breaching Party.

Thereafter, BBCN’s obligations hereunder shall cease.

11. DISPUTE RESOLUTION/ARBITRATION

Arbitration. To the fullest extent permitted by law, and except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, any and all claims or controversies between Consultant and BBCN (or between Consultant and any present or former officer, director, agent, or employee of BBCN or any parent, subsidiary, or other entity affiliated with BBCN) relating in any manner to this Consultant Agreement or the termination of the Consulting Agreement or Consultant’s consultancy shall be resolved by final and binding arbitration (“Arbitrable Claims”). Arbitrable Claims shall include, but not be limited to, contract claims, tort claims, statutory claims and regulatory claims based on any federal, state, or local law, statute, or regulation. Arbitration shall be final and binding upon the parties and shall be the exclusive remedy for all Arbitrable Claims. Except as specifically provided in this agreement, any arbitration proceeding shall be conducted in accordance with the then current JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures (the “Arbitration Rules”) to the extent not inconsistent with this Agreement. The Arbitration Rules are available for review at http://www.jamsadr.com/rules-comprehensive-arbitration/. The arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to resolve all Arbitrable Claims, including, but not limited to, whether any particular claim is arbitrable and whether all or any part of this arbitration provision is void or unenforceable. The arbitrator’s authority shall include the authority to rule on a motion to dismiss and/or summary judgment by either party, and the arbitrator shall apply the standards governing such motions under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. The arbitrator shall prepare a written decision containing the essential findings and conclusions on which any decision or award is based. The arbitrator shall apply the same substantive law, with the same statutes of limitations and same individual remedies, that would apply if the claims were brought in a court of law. The arbitrator shall also have the authority to award costs and fees to the prevailing party as provided by applicable law to the same extent as a court. Otherwise, each party shall pay its own costs and attorney’s fees. The arbitrator shall not have the authority to adjudicate class, collective, or representative claims, to award any class, collective, or other representative relief on behalf of any person other than Consultant, or, without all parties’ consent, to consolidate the claims of two or more individuals, or otherwise preside over any form of a class, collective, or other representative proceeding. Either Consultant or BBCN may bring an action in court to compel arbitration under this Agreement and to enforce an arbitration award. Otherwise, neither party shall initiate or prosecute any

5

lawsuit in any way related to any Arbitrable Claim. Nothing in this Agreement, however, precludes a party from filing an administrative charge with an agency that has jurisdiction over a claim that is otherwise arbitrable. Moreover, nothing in this Agreement prohibits either party from seeking provisional relief pursuant to Section 1281.8 of the California Code of Civil Procedure. All arbitration hearings under this Agreement shall be conducted in Los Angeles, California, unless otherwise agreed by the parties. The parties understand and agree that by entering into this Agreement, they are each waiving the right to a trial by jury. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Consultant and BBCN each waives any right either may have to bring any class, collective, or representative action against the other party, whether in arbitration, in court, or otherwise, or to participate as a member of any class or collective action against the other party (“Waived Claims”). This arbitration provision shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act and, to the extent permitted by such Act, the laws of the State of California.

This Agreement shall not be amended or modified in any way except by an instrument in writing executed by the Parties.

b. Severability; Enforcement; Governing Law. If any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof to any person, place, or circumstance, shall be held by an arbitrator or a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, unenforceable, or void, the remainder of this Agreement and such provisions as applied to other persons, places, and circumstances shall remain in full force and effect, and such provision shall be enforced to fullest extent consistent with applicable law. Except as otherwise provided, the validity, interpretation, enforceability, and performance of this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California.
