The parties will attempt in good faith to resolve any controversy or dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement promptly by negotiations between or among the parties. If any party reaches the conclusion that the controversy or dispute cannot be resolved by unassisted negotiations, such party may notify the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), 140 West 51st Street, New York, New York 10020 [telephone (212) 484-3266; fax (212) 307-4387]. AAA will promptly designate a mediator who is independent and impartial, and AAA’s decision about the identity of the mediator will be final and binding. The parties agree to conduct mediated negotiations in Dallas, Texas, within thirty (30) days after the notice of mediation is sent. If the dispute is not resolved by negotiation or mediation within thirty (30) days after the first notice to AAA is sent, then, upon notice by any party to the other affected parties and to AAA, the controversy or dispute shall be submitted to a sole arbitrator who is independent and impartial, selected in accordance with the rules of the AAA, for binding arbitration in Dallas, Texas, in accordance with AAA’s Commercial Arbitration Rules. The arbitration shall be governed by the United States Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. Sections 1-16 (or by the same principles enunciated by such Act in the event it may not be technically applicable).

The parties agree that they will faithfully observe this Agreement and will abide by and perform any award rendered by the arbitrator. The award or judgment of the arbitrator shall be final and binding on all parties. No litigation or other proceeding may be instituted in any court for the purpose of adjudicating, interpreting or enforcing any of the rights or obligations relating to the subject matter hereof, whether or not covered by the express terms of this Agreement, or for the purpose of adjudicating a breach or determination of the validity of this Agreement, or for the purpose of appealing any decision of an arbitrator, except a proceeding instituted for the sole purpose of having the award or judgment of an arbitrator entered and enforced or for the sole purpose of seeking a temporary restraining order or temporary or permanent injunction (provided, that any damages or costs issues shall not be decided by any court hearing such petition but shall be adjudicated in accordance with the mediation and arbitration procedures set forth herein). If any party becomes the subject of a bankruptcy, receivership or other similar proceeding under the laws of the United States of America, any state or commonwealth or any other nation or political subdivision thereof, any factual or substantive legal issues arising in or during the pendency of any such proceeding shall be subject to all of the foregoing mandatory mediation and arbitration provisions and shall be resolved in accordance therewith.

The Agreements contained herein have been given for valuable consideration, are coupled with an interest and are not intended to be executory contracts. Section 10.7 controls over any conflict between Section 10.7 and this Section 18.9.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be executed by their respective authorized representatives or officers, effective as of the day and year indicated above.

If the Territory includes any country other than the United States, then this Attachment B-1 will be incorporated into and made part of the Distribution Agreement between OxySure® and Distributor. All capitalized terms not defined in this Attachment have the definitions set forth in the Distribution Agreement

1. Distributor shall be responsible for translating at its expense all marketing and promotional materials provided by OxySure®, including any manuals, into the language or languages used in the Territory. Distributor shall promptly deliver to OxySure® a copy of such translation in the formats reasonably requested by OxySure®. Such translations will be deemed a “work for hire” as such term is used in United States copyright law, and OxySure® will be considered the author and owner of all rights in and to such translation. To the extent the translation is not a work for hire, Distributor hereby assigns to OxySure®, and agrees that OxySure® will have, all ownership rights in the manuals and translations created or provided by Distributor. Distributor shall provide all documentation (including written assignments) reasonably requested by OxySure® to confirm its ownership of the manuals and translations. Distributor shall make such changes to the marketing and promotional materials as are required to comply with the law of the countries, or political subdivisions in the Territory, but only with the prior approval of OxySure®. Ownership of all marketing and promotional materials remain with OxySure®.

2. OxySure® shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ship Products sold hereunder within the period and by a carrier designated in each accepted purchase order, and FOB the relevant OxySure® facility determined by OxySure®. Distributor shall be responsible for obtaining all licenses required to import Products into the Territory. OxySure® shall be responsible for obtaining all licenses required to export products from the United States. All freight, transportation, rigging, crating, packing, drayage, insurance, and handling charges, as well as any other expenses that are not specifically allocated to OxySure® in this Attachment B-1, will be paid by Distributor. Title, possession and risk of loss shall pass to Distributor upon delivery of the Products by OxySure to the designated carrier or freight forwarder.

3. OxySure® and Distributor agree that if it is required by applicable law, this Agreement shall be approved by and/or registered with the appropriate governmental authorities. The rights and obligations of OxySure® and Distributor under this Agreement are subject to any such government approval, registration or recordation, including import and export certificates (“Approvals”). Distributor is responsible and shall bear the cost for promptly obtaining and maintaining any such Approvals from requisite government agencies in the Territory for Distributor and OxySure® to advertise, market, sell, distribute, license, and support the Products in the Territory. To the extent additional Approvals are required for new or existing OxySure® Products, or to the extent countries other than those set forth in the Territory are now or hereafter included in the Territory, then Distributor shall bear the sole cost and responsibility for promptly obtaining such Approvals, including compliance with all local content requirements, effective as of the date of this Agreement, or as such requirements may subsequently be modified. All costs of compliance, and whatever actions may be required (whether legal, manufacturing, assembly or otherwise) shall be the sole financial responsibility and obligation of Distributor. To the extent any governmental approval would require OxySure® to change or modify its Products, OxySure® shall have no obligation to do so, and may at its discretion terminate this Agreement with Distributor with no further obligation hereunder, in order to avoid the threat of non-compliance with governmental regulations. Distributor agrees that it shall not submit any information to governmental authorities with respect to this Agreement without the prior written approval of OxySure®; provided however, that the foregoing shall not apply in the event that formal or informal proceedings are instituted against Distributor or in the event that a dispute between OxySure and Distributor is submitted to any tribunal having jurisdiction over such matters.

Distributor shall provide to OxySure promptly upon its request such evidence as OxySure® shall require, including, but not limited to, an opinion of counsel of the Territory (which counsel must be approved by OxySure® in its sole discretion although the costs of such opinion shall be borne by Distributor), of compliance by Distributor with the applicable import regulations of jurisdictions within the Territory or any other applicable jurisdiction, including those governing the filing of proper import documentation and the payment of all duties and fees of any nature whatsoever required for such import.

5. Distributor shall comply with, and Distributor shall require its Customers to comply with, the United States Export Administration Act, the United States Anti-Boycott provisions and the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (“FCPA”), as well as all applicable statutes, rules and regulations in the United States and the Territory, as the same may be amended from time to time. Distributor represents and warrants to OxySure® that it is familiar with the terms and provisions of the FCPA and the purposes of the FCPA. Distributor further represents and warrants that (a) except as otherwise disclosed in writing to OxySure® prior to execution of this Agreement, neither it nor any of its owners, staff members or Affiliates are officials, officers or representatives of any government or candidate for political office, and (b) that no part of the proceeds from sales of the Products will be used by it for any purpose or to take any action which will constitute a violation of any law of any government in the Territory or any part thereof or the United States, including the FCPA.

6. This Agreement is an international transaction for the sale of goods in which the specification of United States Dollars and payment in Frisco, Texas is of the essence and United States Dollars shall be the currency of account in all events. The payment obligations of distributor shall not be discharged by an amount paid by Distributor in another currency or at another place, whether pursuant to a judgment or otherwise, to the extent that the amount so paid on prompt conversion to United States Dollars and transferred to Frisco, Texas under normal banking procedures does not yield the amount of United States Dollars in Frisco, Texas due hereunder. If any payment by Distributor, whether pursuant to a judgment or otherwise, upon conversion and transfer does not result in payment of such amount of United States Dollars due hereunder in Frisco, Texas, Distributor shall compensate OxySure for the additional amount necessary to yield the amount due and owing to OxySure®.

7. Distributor agrees specifically that it will not directly or indirectly export or re-export the Products or any technical data or service that is the direct product of the Products to any country outside the Territory without the written permission of OxySure®.
