The rights and remedies of each party arising out of or relating to this Agreement or relationship as an employee of Signalife (including, without limitation, equitable remedies) shall be solely governed by, interpreted under, and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws (without regard to the conflicts of law principles) of the State of California

, and

 any applicable federal laws, as if this Agreement were made, and as if its obligations are to be performed, wholly within the State of California.  

Any "action or proceeding" (as such term is defined below) arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall, to the maximum extent allowed by law, be resolved by arbitration (an “Arbitration Proceeding”) before the American Arbitration Association (the “Arbitration Authority”) located in Los Angeles, California, according to the Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (the "Arbitration Rules").  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the following shall be considered controversies for this purpose:  (1) all questions relating to the falsity of any representation or warranty hereunder and/or of the breach of any obligation, covenant, promise, right, provision, term or condition hereunder; (2) the failure of any party to deny or reject a claim or demand of any other party; and (3) any question as to whether the right to arbitrate a certain dispute exists.  The term "action or proceeding" is defined as any and all claims, suits, actions, hearings, arbitrations or other similar proceedings, including appeals and petitions therefrom, whether formal or informal, governmental or non-governmental, or civil or criminal, and shall specifically include all claims under applicable federal or provincial laws, regulations or case law.

Submission to arbitration shall be to a single independent arbitrator (the “Arbitrator”) appointed by agreement of the parties within ten (10) days after written notice by either one of them to the other requesting the appointment of the Arbitrator, failing which, the Arbitrator may be appointed in the manner provided under the Arbitration Rules.  The Arbitrator agreed to or appointed shall have the appropriate technical expertise to consider and make a determination in respect of the issues submitted to arbitration.  Each party will bear its own costs of the arbitration.  The costs of the Arbitrator and related costs of the Arbitration Proceeding shall be apportioned equally between the parties and determined by the Arbitrator.

This agreement to arbitrate shall be self-executing without the necessity of filing any action in any court, and shall be specifically enforceable under the prevailing arbitration law.  Each party generally and unconditionally accepts the exclusive jurisdiction of the Arbitration Authority and the Arbitrator as hereinabove provided.

The Arbitrator shall apply such principles of law as provided above relating to application of law, and shall endeavor to decide the controversy as though the Arbitrator were a judge in a court of law.  The Arbitrator shall have the power to issue any award, judgment, decree or order of relief that a court of law or equity could issue under such applicable law including, but not limited to, money damages, specific performance or injunctive relief; and for such purposes it is hereby expressly acknowledged and agreed that damages at law would be an inadequate remedy for a breach or threatened breach of any provision of this Agreement, it being the intention of this sentence to make clear the agreement of the parties hereto 








Dr. Robert Koblin

that the respective rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall be enforceable in any Arbitration Proceeding in accordance with principles of equity as well as of law.  

The Arbitrator shall prepare a written decision, signed by the Arbitrator, that shall be sent to the parties within sixty (60) calendar days following the conclusion of the hearing.  The written statement will be supported by written findings of fact and conclusions of law which adequately set forth the basis of the Arbitrator’s decision, and which cites the statutes and precedents applied and relied upon in reaching said decision.

The parties agree to abide by any award, judgment, decree or order rendered in any Arbitration Proceeding by the Arbitrator.  The award, judgment, decree or order of the Arbitrator, and the findings of the Arbitrator, shall be final, conclusive and binding upon the parties.  Any judgment upon the award and enforcement of any other judgment, decree or order of relief granted by the Arbitrator may be entered or obtained in any court of competent jurisdiction in the jurisdiction in which the residence or principal office of a non-prevailing party is located, as a basis for judgment and for the issuance of execution for its collection and, at the election of the party making such filing, with the clerk of one or more other courts having jurisdiction over the party against whom such an award is rendered, or such party’s property.  

EACH PARTY HAS READ AND UNDERSTANDS THE FOREGOING ARBITRATION PROVISION AND FURTHER UNDERSTANDS THAT, BY SIGNING THIS AGREEMENT AND AGREEING TO SUBMIT ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES TO BINDING ARBITRATION AS PROVIDED ABOVE, SUCH PARTY IS RELINQUISHING AND WAIVING HIS OR HER RIGHT TO SUBMIT SUCH CLAIMS OR DISPUTES TO A COURT OF LAW, INCLUDING A JURY TRIAL.  Each party acknowledges that the foregoing agreement to arbitrate and waiver of rights to disputes such claims or disputes to a court of law:  (1) are fair, reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate interests of the other party; (2) is a material inducement to the other party to enter into the transaction contemplated hereby; and (3) the other party has already relied upon such inducement in entering into this Agreement; and will continue to rely on such inducement  in their future dealings with the acknowledging party.  Each party warrants and represents that it has reviewed this provision with its legal counsel, and that it has knowingly and voluntarily waived its rights following consultation with legal counsel.

This Agreement:  (1) constitutes the final, complete and exclusive statement our agreement with respect to the subject matter hereof; (2) supersede any prior or contemporaneous agreements, memorandums, proposals, commitments, guaranties, assurances, communications, discussions, promises, representations, understandings, conduct, acts, courses of dealing, warranties, interpretations or terms of any kind, whether oral or written (collectively and severally, the “prior agreements”), and that any such prior agreements are of no force or effect except as expressly set forth herein; and (3) may not be varied, supplemented or contradicted by evidence of prior agreements, or by evidence of subsequent oral agreements. 

If any term or provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof to any person or circumstance, shall to any extent be determined to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable under present or future laws, then, and

in such event:  (1) the performance of the offending term or provision (but only to the extent its application is invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall be excused as if it had never been incorporated into this Agreement, and, in lieu of such excused provision, there shall be added a provision as similar in terms and amount to such excused provision as may be possible and still be legal, valid and enforceable; and (2) the remaining part of this Agreement (including the application of the offending term or provision to persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall not be affected thereby, and shall continue in full force and effect to the fullest legal extent. 

This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, and all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument, binding on all parties hereto.  Any signature page of this Agreement may be detached from any counterpart of this Agreement and reattached to any other counterpart of this Agreement identical in form hereto by having attached to it one or more additional signature pages.  If a copy or counterpart of this Agreement is originally executed and such copy or counterpart is thereafter transmitted electronically by facsimile or similar device, such facsimile document shall for all purposes be treated as if manually signed by the party whose facsimile signature appears.

This Agreement shall not be construed to be an offer and shall have no force and effect until this Agreement is fully executed by you without amendment and delivered to the undersigned.  Until that time, Signalife reserves the right to revoke this offer.
