Any such election shall be made in accordance with the provisions of the Grant Agreement evidencing the award of the Units pursuant to this Policy and the provisions of Code Section 409A.

      and
      to perform its obligations hereunder;

    b.                 it

      certified mediator of the Court in Cameron County, and any mediation shall
      be
      held in Cameron County. The Client shall bear the cost of said mediation. In
      the
      event that said dispute is not resolved in mediation, the parties shall submit

      available to both parties in the arbitration. The decision of the arbitrator
      shall be final and binding. Arbitration shall be the exclusive legal remedy
      of
      the parties. Judgment upon the award may be entered in any court of competent
      jurisdiction pursuant to Texas statutes. If either party refuses to comply
      with
      a ruling or decision of the arbitrator and a lawsuit is brought to enforce
      said
      ruling or decision, it is agreed that the party not complying with the ruling
      or
      decision of the arbitrator shall pay all the court costs and reasonable
      attorney's fees (including Trial and Appellate attorney's fees) incurred in
      enforcing the ruling or decision of the arbitrator. Any rights of injunctive
      relief shall be in addition to and not in derogation or limitation of any other
      legal rights.

      shall be considered divisible as to such provision, and the remainder of the
      Agreement shall be valid and binding as though such provision were not included
      in this Agreement.

    

    13.
