(i) The Party claiming a Dispute shall deliver to the other Party a written notice (a “Notice of Dispute”) that will specify in reasonable detail the dispute that the claiming Party demands to have resolved by arbitration. Any arbitration hereunder shall be conducted in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (AAA) then in effect.

(ii) The arbitration shall be conducted by one (1) arbitrator mutually agreed to by the Parties, who shall be a retired judge or attorney with no less than ten (10) years of experience in resolving patent license disputes, but if such agreement cannot be reached within ten (10) days of the commencement of the arbitration, then an arbitrator shall be appointed by the AAA.

(iii) The location of the arbitration shall be Los Angeles, CA if the Notice of Dispute is issued by Inpixon, and Palo Alto, CA, if the Notice of Dispute is issued by LBS LLC.

(iv) The arbitration proceeding shall be held as soon as practicable but in any event within sixty (60) days of appointment of the arbitrator. Any award rendered by the arbitrator shall be final and binding upon the Parties. Judgment upon any award rendered may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.

(v) The arbitrator shall render a formal, binding, non-appealable resolution and award, along with a written opinion not to exceed ten (10) pages which reasonably explains the ruling, as expeditiously as possible, but not more than forty-five (45) days after the first hearing.

(vi) Each Party shall pay its own expenses of arbitration, and the expenses of the arbitrator shall be equally shared between the Parties unless the arbitrator assesses as part of the award all or any part of the arbitration expenses of a Party (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) against the other Party. A Party may make application to the arbitrator for the award and recovery of its fees and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees).

(vii) This sub-section 16.14(b) shall not prohibit a Party from seeking injunctive relief from a court of competent jurisdiction in the event of a breach or prospective breach of this Agreement by any Party which would cause irreparable harm to the other Party.

16.15 Equitable Relief. Each Party acknowledges that a breach by the other Party of this Agreement may cause the non-breaching Party irreparable harm, for which an award of damages would not be adequate compensation, and agrees that, in the event of such a breach the non-breaching Party will be entitled to seek equitable relief, including in the form of a restraining order, orders for preliminary or permanent injunction, specific performance, and any other relief that may be available from any court. These remedies are not exclusive but are in addition to all other remedies available under this Agreement at law or in equity, subject to any express exclusions or limitations in this Agreement to the contrary.

16.16 Attorneys’ Fees. In the event that any action, arbitration or other legal or administrative proceeding is instituted or commenced by either Party hereto against the other Party arising out of or related to this Agreement, the prevailing Party shall be entitled to recover its reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs from the non-prevailing Party.

16.17 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original, but all of which together will be deemed to be one and the same agreement. A signed copy of this Agreement delivered by facsimile, e-mail, or other means of electronic transmission (to which a signed PDF copy is attached) will be deemed to have the same legal effect as delivery of an original signed copy of this Agreement.
