ARTICLE

EXCHANGE CONSIDERATION; CONVERSION
AND EXCHANGE OF SECURITIES
Section
3.1 Manner and Basis of
Converting and
Exchanging
Capital Stock. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the
Exchange and without any action on the part of the Company, Galaxy or the
holders of any outstanding shares of capital stock or other securities of the
Company or Galaxy:
(a) Company Common
Stock. Each share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share,
of the Company which is: (1) authorized to be issued under the terms of the
Company Chapter 11 Plan and (2) not otherwise extinguished or cancelled under
the terms of the Company Chapter 11 Plan shall continue to constitute one
validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share of capital stock of the
Company.
(b) Galaxy Common Stock. Each
share of Galaxy Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the
Effective Time (including all shares of Galaxy Common Stock issued upon
conversion of all Galaxy Preferred Stock immediately prior to the Effective
Time) shall be exchanged for the right to receive five new shares of Company
Common Stock (an aggregate of 25,000,000 shares) to be issued to the holders of

(c) Treasury Stock.
Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, each share of

Company Capital Stock, if any, owned by Galaxy or any direct or indirect
wholly-
owned
subsidiary of Galaxy immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be canceled
in the Exchange.
(d) No Fractional
Shares. No fractional shares of Company Common Stock shall be
issued in, or as a result of, the Exchange. Any fractional shares of
Company Common Stock that a holder of record of Galaxy Capital Stock would
otherwise be entitled to receive as a result of the Exchange shall be
aggregated. If a fractional share of Company Common Stock results
from such aggregation, the number of shares required to be issued to such record
holder shall be rounded up to the nearest whole number of shares of Company
Common Stock.
Section
3.2 Surrender and Exchange of
Certificates.
(a) Letter of
Transmittal. Promptly after the Effective Time, Galaxy shall
mail, or cause to be mailed, to each record holder of certificate(s) formerly
representing ownership of Galaxy Capital Stock that was converted into the right
to receive Company Common Stock pursuant to Section 3.1 hereof
(i) a letter of transmittal (“Letter of
Transmittal”) for delivery of such certificate(s) to the Company and (ii)
instruction for use in effecting the surrender of certificate(s), in each case
in form and substance mutually agreeable to the Company and
Galaxy. Delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the
Galaxy Common Stock shall pass, only upon delivery to the Company (or a duly
authorized agent of the Company) of certificate(s) formerly representing
ownership of Galaxy Capital Stock (or an affidavit of lost certificate and
indemnification or surety bond) and a properly completed and duly executed
Letter of Transmittal, as described in Section 3.2(b)
hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Galaxy shall not be required
to mail, or cause to be mailed, a Letter of Transmittal to any record holder of
certificate(s) formerly representing ownership of Galaxy Capital Stock if such
holder has previously agreed or consented to the exchange of certificates that
are held in custody by Galaxy for the benefit of such holder.
(b) Exchange
Procedures. The Company shall issue to each former record
holder of Galaxy Common Stock, upon delivery to the Company (or a duly
authorized agent of the Company) of (i) certificate(s) representing ownership of
Galaxy Common Stock endorsed in blank or accompanied by duly executed stock
powers (or an affidavit of lost certificate and indemnification in form and
substance reasonably acceptable to the Company stating that, among other things,
the former record holder has lost his or her certificate(s) or that such
certificate(s) have been destroyed) and (ii) a properly completed and duly
executed Letter of Transmittal in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to
the Company, a certificate or certificates registered in the name of such record
holder representing the number of shares of Company Common Stock that such
record holder is entitled to receive in accordance with Section 3.1
hereof. Subject to Section 3.2(d)
hereof, until the certificate(s) (or affidavit) is delivered together with the
Letter of Transmittal in the manner contemplated by this Section 3.2(b), each
certificate (or affidavit) representing ownership of Galaxy Common Stock shall
be deemed at and after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive
Company Common Stock and the former record holders thereof shall cease to have
any other rights with respect to his or her Galaxy Common Stock.
(c) Termination of Exchange
Process. Any Company Common Stock that remains unclaimed by a
former record holder of Galaxy Common Stock at the first anniversary of the
Effective Time may be deemed “abandoned property” subject to applicable
abandoned
property,
escheat and other similar laws in the State in which the former record holder
resides. Neither the Company or Galaxy shall be liable to any
person in respect of any Company Common Stock delivered to a public official
pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar
law.
(d) Dissenting
Shares. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the
contrary, shares of Galaxy Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior
to the Effective Time and held by a stockholder who has not voted in favor of
the Exchange or consented thereto in writing and who has demanded appraisal for
such shares of Company Capital Stock in accordance with the NRS (“Dissenting Shares”)
shall not be entitled to vote for any purpose or receive dividends, shall not be
converted into the right to receive Company Common Stock in accordance with
Section 3.1
hereof, and shall only be entitled to receive such consideration as shall be
determined pursuant to the NRS; provided, however, that if,
after the Effective Time, such stockholder fails to perfect or withdraws or
loses his or her right to appraisal or otherwise fails to establish the right to
be paid the value of such stockholder’s shares of Galaxy Common Stock under the
NRS, such shares of Galaxy Capital Stock shall be treated as if they had
converted as of the Effective Time into the right to receive Company Common
Stock in accordance with Section 3.1 hereof,
and such shares of Galaxy Common Stock shall no longer be Dissenting
Shares. All negotiations with respect to payment for Dissenting
Shares shall be handled jointly by Galaxy and the Company prior to the Closing
and exclusively by the Company thereafter.
(e) Stock Transfer
Books. At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of
Galaxy will be closed and there will be no further registration of transfers of
shares of Galaxy Common Stock thereafter on the records of the
Company. If, after the Effective Time, certificates formerly
representing Galaxy Common Stock are presented to the Company, these
certificates shall be canceled and exchanged for the number of shares of Company
Common Stock to which the former record holder may be entitled pursuant to Section 3.1
hereof.
(f) Further Rights in Galaxy Common Stock. All
shares of Company Common Stock issued upon exchange of shares of Galaxy Common
Stock in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to have been issued in
full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such shares of Galaxy Common
Stock.
Section
3.3 Options,
Warrants.
(a) As of the
Effective Time, all options to purchase Galaxy Common Stock issued by
Galaxy, whether vested or unvested, (the “Old Options”) shall
be automatically converted to become options to purchase shares of Company
Common Stock (“Company Options”) without
further action by the holder thereof, all in accordance with the
applicable provisions of Galaxy’s currently effective incentive stock
option plan (the “Option Plan”). Each Company Option shall
constitute an option to acquire the same number of shares of Company Common
Stock as is equal to the number of shares of Galaxy Common Stock
subject to the unexercised portion of the Old Options (with any fraction
resulting from such multiplication to be rounded down to the nearest whole
number [share]). The exercise price per share of each Company Option
shall be the same as the current exercise price of such Old Option (with
any fraction resulting from such multiplication to be rounded up to the nearest
whole cent). Upon conversion, each Company Option shall be subject to
the same terms and conditions
applicable
to the corresponding Old Option immediately prior to the conversion thereof
including, without limitation, exercisability, vesting schedule, and status as
an “incentive stock option” under Section 422 of the Code, if applicable, and
the Company shall assume and adopt the Option Plan. It is the Parties
intention that any Old Options intended to be “incentive stock options” under
Section 422 of the Code shall remain incentive stock options as Company
Options. The Old Options shall be converted in accordance with the
applicable requirements of Section 409A and Section 424 of the Code and the
regulations promulgated thereunder so that the conversion will not be treated as
a new grant or modification under Section 409A of the Code, and the regulations
thereunder, and will qualify as a substitution or assumption under Section 424
of the Code, and the regulations thereunder. As soon as practicable
after the Effective Time, the Company shall deliver to the holders of Old
Options, notices describing the conversion of such Old Options, and the
agreements evidencing the Old Options shall continue in effect on the same terms
and conditions. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall
reserve for issuance the number of shares of Company Common Stock necessary to
satisfy the Company’s obligations hereunder.
(b) As of the
Effective Time, all warrants to purchase Galaxy Common Stock issued by Galaxy,
whether vested or unvested, (the “Old Warrant” and
together with the Old Options, the “Old Securities”)
shall be automatically converted to become warrants to purchase shares of
Company Common Stock (“Company Warrant”) without
further action by the holder thereof, all in accordance with the
applicable provisions of the Old Warrant. The Company Warrant
shall constitute a warrant to acquire the same number of shares of Company
Common Stock as is equal to the number of shares of Galaxy Common Stock
subject to the unexercised portion of the Old Warrant (with any fraction
resulting from such multiplication to be rounded down to the nearest whole
number). The strike price per share of each Company Warrant shall be
the same as the current strike price of such Old Warrant.
(c) As soon
as practicable after the Effective Time, Galaxy shall take appropriate actions
to collect the Old Securities and the agreements evidencing the Old Securities,
which shall be deemed to be canceled and shall entitle the holder to exchange
the Old Securities for Company Options and Company Warrants.
(d) The
Company shall take all corporate action necessary to reserve for issuance a
sufficient number of shares of Company Common Stock for delivery upon exercise
of the Company Options and Company Warrants to be issued for Old Securities in
accordance with this Section 3.3.
Section
3.4 Company Common
Stock. The Company shall reserve a sufficient number of shares
of Company Common Stock to complete the conversion and exchange of Galaxy Common
Stock into Company Common Stock contemplated by Sections 3.1 and
3.2 hereof, and
the issuance of any Company Common Stock underlying options and warrants, notes
or other rights to acquire Company Common Stock in accordance with Section 3.3
hereof.

is no Action pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened, involving
the Company or its subsidiaries or affecting any of the officers, directors or
employees of the Company or its subsidiaries with respect to the Company’s or
any subsidiary’s business by or before any governmental entity or by any third

Company is not in violation or breach of any material contract, except such
violations that, in the aggregate, would not result in, or would not reasonably
be expected to result in, a Company Material Adverse Effect. There
does not exist any event or condition that, after notice or lapse of time or

or any person acquiring any right to acquire, any assets of the

Adverse Effect. The Company has not received in writing any claim or threat that

which, in the aggregate, would not result in, or would not reasonably be
expected to result in, a Company Material Adverse Effect.

not been delinquent in the payment of any Tax. The Company has not
had a Tax deficiency proposed or assessed against it and has not executed a
waiver of any statute of limitations on the assessment or collection of any
Tax. None of the Company’s federal income Tax Returns nor any state

Company as of the Balance Sheet Date. Since the Balance Sheet Date,
the Company has made adequate provisions on its books of account for all Taxes
with respect to its business, properties and operations for such
period. The Company has withheld or collected from each payment made
to each of its employees the amount of all Taxes (including, but not limited to,
federal, state and local income taxes, Federal Insurance Contribution Act taxes
and Federal Unemployment Tax Act taxes) required to be withheld or collected
therefrom, and has paid the same to the proper Tax receiving officers or
authorized depositaries. There are no federal, state, local or
foreign audits, actions, suits, proceedings, investigations, claims or
administrative proceedings relating to Taxes or any Tax Returns of the Company
now pending, and the Company has not received any notice of any proposed audits,
investigations, claims or administrative proceedings relating to Taxes or any
Tax Returns. The Company is not obligated to make a payment, nor is
it a party to any agreement that under certain circumstances could obligate it
to make a payment, that would not be deductible under Section 280G of the
Code. The Company has not agreed nor is required to make any
adjustments under Section 481(a) of the Code (or any similar provision of state,
local and foreign law) by reason of a change in accounting method or otherwise
for any Tax period for which the applicable statute of limitations has not yet
expired. The Company is not a party to, is not bound by and does not
have any obligation under, any Tax sharing agreement, Tax indemnification
agreement or similar contract or arrangement, whether written or unwritten
(collectively, “Tax
Sharing Agreements”), nor does it have any potential liability or
obligation to any Person as a result of, or pursuant to, any Tax Sharing
Agreements.

knowledge of the Company, the Company (i) owns or has the right to use, pursuant
to a valid license, sublicense, agreement, or permission, free and clear of all
Liens, all patents, trademarks, service marks, trade names, copyrights, licenses

knowledge of the Company, the Company owns and has the right to use all trade
secrets, if any, including know-how, negative know-how, formulas, patterns,

programs and technical data and all information that derives independent
economic value, actual or potential, from not being generally known or known by
competitors (collectively, “Intellectual
Property”) required for or incident to the development, operation and
sale of all products and services sold by the Company, free and clear of any
right, Lien or claim of others.
Section
4.14 Employee Benefit Plans;
ERISA.
(a) All
“employee benefit plans” (within the meaning of Section 3(3) of the ERISA) of
the Company and other employee benefit or fringe benefit arrangements,
practices, contracts, policies or programs of every type, other than programs
merely involving the regular payment of wages, commissions, or bonuses
established, maintained or contributed to by the Company, whether written or
unwritten and whether or not funded, are in material compliance with the
applicable requirements of ERISA, the Code and any other applicable state,
federal or foreign law.
(b) There are
no pending claims or lawsuits that have been asserted or instituted against any
Employee Benefit Plan, the assets of any of the trusts or funds under the
Employee Benefit Plans, the plan sponsor or the plan administrator of any of the
Employee Benefit Plans or against any fiduciary of an Employee Benefit Plan with
respect to the operation of such plan, nor does the Company have any knowledge
of any incident, transaction, occurrence or circumstance which might reasonably
be expected to form the basis of any such claim or lawsuit.
(c) There is
no pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened investigation, or
pending or possible enforcement action by the Pension Benefit Guaranty
Corporation, the Department of Labor, the Internal Revenue Service or any other
government agency with respect to any Employee Benefit Plan and the Company has
no knowledge of any incident, transaction, occurrence or circumstance which
might reasonably be expected to trigger such an investigation or enforcement
action.
(d) No actual
or, to the knowledge of the Company, contingent Liability exists with respect to
the funding of any Employee Benefit Plan or for any other expense or obligation
of any Employee Benefit Plan, except as disclosed on the Balance Sheet, and no
contingent Liability exists under ERISA with respect to any “multi-employer
plan,” as defined in Section 3(37) or Section 4001(a)(3) of ERISA.
(e) No events
have occurred or are reasonably expected to occur with respect to any Employee
Benefit Plan that would cause a material change in the costs of providing
benefits under such Employee Benefit Plan or would cause a material change in
the cost of providing such Employee Benefit Plan.
Section
4.15 Title to Property and
Encumbrances. The Company has good and valid title to all
properties and assets used in the conduct of its business (except for property
held under valid and subsisting leases which are in full force and effect and
which are not in default) free of all Liens except Permitted Liens and such
ordinary and customary imperfections of title,
restrictions
and encumbrances as do not in the aggregate constitute a Company Material
Adverse Effect.
Section
4.16 Condition of
Properties. All facilities, machinery, equipment, fixtures and
other properties owned, leased or used by the Company are in operating
condition, subject to ordinary wear and tear, and are adequate and sufficient

Coverage. There is in full force and effect one or more
policies of insurance issued by insurers of recognized responsibility insuring
the Company and its properties, products and business against such losses and
risks, and in such amounts, as are customary for corporations of established
reputation engaged in the same or similar business and similarly
situated. The Company has not been refused any insurance coverage
sought or applied for, and the Company has no reason to believe that it will be
unable to renew its existing insurance coverage as and when the same shall
expire upon terms at least as favorable to those currently in effect, other than
possible increases in premiums that do not result from any act or omission of
the Company. No suit, proceeding or action or, to the knowledge of
the Company, threat of suit, proceeding or action has been asserted or made
against the Company due to alleged bodily injury, disease, medical condition,
death or property damage arising out of the function or malfunction of a
product, procedure or service designed, manufactured, sold or distributed by the
Company.

interest, except in compliance with all applicable Environmental
Laws.
(b) To the

claims, information requests or notices of noncompliance or violation against or
to the Company relating to any Environmental Law; and, to the knowledge of the

by the Company in connection with its business that would reasonably be expected
to lead to any such demands, claims or notices against or to the Company, except
such as have not had, and would not reasonably be expected to have, a Company
Material Adverse Effect.
(d) To the
knowledge of the Company, (i) the Company has not, sent or disposed of,
otherwise had taken or transported, arranged for the taking or disposal of (on
behalf of itself, a customer or any other party) or in any other manner
participated or been involved in the taking of or disposal or release of a
Hazardous Material to or at a site that is contaminated by any Hazardous

Effect.
Section
4.19 Disclosure. There
is no fact relating to the Company that the Company has not disclosed to Galaxy
in writing that has had or is currently having a Company Material Adverse
Effect. No representation or warranty by the Company herein and no
information disclosed in the exhibits hereto by the Company contains any untrue
statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make

and shall reimburse the Company for, any loss, liability, claim, damage, expense
(including, but not limited to, costs of investigation and defense and
reasonable attorneys’ fees) or diminution of value (collectively, “Damages”) arising
from or in connection with (a) any inaccuracy, in any material respect, in any
of the representations and warranties of Galaxy in this Agreement or in any
certificate delivered by Galaxy to the Company pursuant to this Agreement, or
any actions, omissions or statements of fact inconsistent with any such

any material respect with any covenant or agreement in this Agreement, (c) any

out of any Liabilities of Galaxy on or prior to Closing or with respect to
accounting fees arising thereafter, or (f) any litigation, action, claim,
proceeding or investigation by any third party relating to or arising out of the
business or operations of Galaxy, or the actions of Galaxy or any holder of
Galaxy capital stock prior to the Effective Time.
Section
9.2 Survival. All
representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of Galaxy contained in
this Agreement or in any instrument delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall
survive until twelve (12) months after the Effective Date. The
representations and warranties of the Company contained in this Agreement or in
any instrument delivered pursuant to this Agreement will terminate at, and have
no further force and effect after, the Effective Time.
Section
9.3 Time
Limitations. Galaxy shall not have any liability (for
indemnification or otherwise) with respect to any representation or warranty, or
covenant or agreement to be performed and complied with prior to the Effective
Time, unless on or before the twelve month anniversary of the Effective Time
(the “Claims
Deadline”), Galaxy is given notice of a claim with respect thereto, in
accordance with Section 9.5,
specifying the factual basis therefore in reasonable detail to the extent then
known by the Company.
Section
9.4 Limitation on
Liability. The obligations of Galaxy to the Company set forth
in Section 9.1
shall be subject to the following limitations:
(a) The
aggregate liability of Galaxy to the Company shall not exceed
$50,000.
(b) Other
than claims based on fraud or for specific performance, injunctive or other
equitable relief, the Company’s sole and exclusive remedy for any and all claims
for Damages pursuant to Section 9.1 hereof
shall be the indemnification provided under the terms and subject to the
conditions of this Article
IX.
Section
9.5 Notice of
Claims.
(a) If, at
any time on or prior to the Claims Deadline, the Company shall assert a claim
for indemnification pursuant to Section 9.1, the
Company shall submit to Galaxy a written claim stating: (i) that the
Company incurred or reasonably believes it may incur Damages and the amount or
reasonable estimate thereof of any such Damages; and (ii) in reasonable detail,
the facts alleged as the basis for such claim and the section or sections of
this Agreement alleged as the basis or bases for the claim.
(b) In the
event that any action, suit or proceeding is brought against the Company with
respect to which Galaxy may have liability under this Article
IX, Galaxy shall have the right, at its cost and expense, to defend
such action, suit or proceeding in the name and on behalf of the Company; provided, however, that the
Company shall have the right to retain its own counsel, with fees and expenses
paid by Galaxy, if representation of the Company by counsel retained by Galaxy
would be inappropriate because of actual or potential differing interests
between Galaxy and the Company. In connection with any action, suit
or proceeding
subject
to this Article
IX, Galaxy and the Company agree to render to each other such assistance
as may reasonably be required in order to ensure proper and adequate defense of
such action, suit or proceeding. Galaxy shall not, without the prior
written consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld
or delayed, settle or compromise any claim or demand if such settlement or
compromise does not include an irrevocable and unconditional release of the
Company for any liability arising out of such claim or demand.

deemed to constitute consent to the manner and address for service of process in
connection with any legal proceeding (including arbitration arising in
connection with this Agreement), which service shall be effected as required by
applicable law.
Section
11.3 Entire
Agreement. This Agreement and the exhibits attached hereto or
referred to herein constitute the entire agreement of the parties hereto, and
supersede all prior agreements and undertakings, both written and oral, among
the parties hereto, with respect to the subject matter hereof and

Section
11.4 Expenses. Except
as otherwise expressly provided herein, whether or not the Exchange occurs, all
expenses and fees incurred by Galaxy on one hand, and the Company on the other,
shall be borne solely and entirely by the party that has incurred the same;
provided, that
if the Exchange occurs, Galaxy agrees to pay, and shall cause the Company to
pay, any unpaid fees and expenses of the Company (including fees and expenses of
its counsel and other advisors) in connection with the consummation of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
Section
11.5 Severability. If
any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable
of being enforced by any rule of law or public policy, all other conditions and
provisions of this Agreement will nevertheless remain in full force and effect
so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated
hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any
party. Upon such determination that any term or other
provision
is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto will
negotiate in good faith to amend or modify this Agreement so as to effect the
original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to
the end that transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the extent
possible.
Section
11.6 Successors and Assigns;
Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to
the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and
assigns. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or
obligations hereunder shall be assigned or delegated by any of the parties
hereto without, in the case of Galaxy, the prior written approval of the Company
and, in the case of the Company, the prior written approval of
Galaxy.
Section
11.7 No Third Party
Beneficiaries. Except as set forth in Section 11.6, nothing
herein expressed or implied shall be construed to give any person other than the
parties hereto (and their successors and assigns as permitted herein) any legal
or equitable rights hereunder.
Section
11.8 Counterparts; Delivery by
Facsimile. This Agreement may be executed in multiple
counterparts, and by the different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each
of which when executed will be deemed to be an original but all of which taken
together will constitute one and the same agreement. This Agreement
and each other agreement or instrument entered into in connection herewith or
therewith or contemplated hereby or thereby, and any amendments hereto or
thereto, to the extent signed and delivered by means of a facsimile machine or
by electronic mail, shall be treated in all manner and respects as an original
agreement or instrument and shall be considered to have the same binding legal
effect as if it were the original signed version thereof delivered in
person. At the request of any party hereto or to any such agreement
or instrument, each other party hereto or thereto shall re-execute original
forms thereof and deliver them to all other parties. No party hereto
or to any such agreement or instrument shall raise the use of a facsimile
machine or electronic mail to deliver a signature or the fact that any signature
or agreement or instrument was transmitted or communicated through the use of a
facsimile machine or electronic mail as a defense to the formation or
enforceability of a contract and each such party forever waives any such
defense.
Section
11.9 Waiver. At
any time prior to the Effective Time, any party hereto may (a) extend the time
for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other party
hereto; (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and breaches of the
warranties of the other party contained herein or in any document delivered
pursuant hereto; and (c) waive compliance by the other party with any of the
agreements or conditions contained herein. Any such extension or
waiver will be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed by the
party or parties to be bound thereby.
Section
11.10 No Constructive
Waivers. No failure or delay on the part of any party hereto
in the exercise of any right hereunder will impair such right or be construed to
be a waiver of, or acquiescence in, any breach of any representation, warranty,
agreement or covenant herein, nor will any single or partial exercise of any
such right preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other
right. No waiver by any party of any default, misrepresentation, or
breach of warranty or covenant hereunder, whether intentional or not, shall be
deemed to extend to any prior or subsequent default, misrepresentation, or
breach of warranty or covenant hereunder or affect in any way any rights arising
by virtue of any prior or subsequent such occurrence.
Section
11.11 Further
Assurances. The parties hereto shall use their commercially
reasonable efforts to do and perform or cause to be done and performed all such
further acts and things and shall execute and deliver all such other agreements,
certificates, instruments or documents as any other party hereto may reasonably
request in order to carry out fully the intent and purposes of this Agreement
and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.
Section
11.12 Recitals. The
recitals set forth above are incorporated herein and, by this reference, are
made part of this Agreement as if fully set forth herein.
Section
11.13 Headings. The
headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall
not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this
Agreement.
Section
11.14 Governing
Law. This Agreement and the agreements, instruments and
documents contemplated hereby shall be governed by and construed and enforced in
accordance with the laws of the State of Nevada without regard to its conflicts
of law principles.
Section
11.15 Dispute
Resolution. The parties hereto shall initially attempt to
resolve all claims, disputes or controversies arising under, out of or in
connection with this Agreement by conducting good faith negotiations amongst
themselves. If the parties hereto are unable to resolve the matter
following good faith negotiations, the matter shall thereafter be resolved by
binding arbitration and each party hereto hereby waives any right it may
otherwise have to the resolution of such matter by any means other than binding
arbitration pursuant to this Section
11.15. Whenever a party shall decide to institute arbitration
proceedings, it shall provide written notice to that effect to the other parties
hereto. The party giving such notice shall, however, refrain from
instituting the arbitration proceedings for a period of sixty (60) days
following such notice. During this period, the parties shall make
good faith efforts to amicably resolve the claim, dispute or controversy without
arbitration. Any arbitration hereunder shall be conducted in the
English language under the commercial arbitration rules of the American
Arbitration Association. Any such arbitration shall be conducted in
Las Vegas, Nevada by a panel of three arbitrators: one arbitrator
shall be appointed by each of Galaxy and Company; and the third shall be
appointed by the American Arbitration Association. The panel of
arbitrators shall have the authority to grant specific
performance. Judgment upon the award so rendered may be entered in
any court having jurisdiction or application may be made to such court for
judicial acceptance of any award and an order of enforcement, as the case may
be. In no event shall a demand for arbitration be made after the date
when institution of a legal or equitable proceeding based on the claim, dispute
or controversy in question would be barred under this Agreement or by the
applicable statute of limitations. The prevailing party in any
arbitration in accordance with this Section 11.15 shall
be entitled to recover from the other party, in addition to any other remedies
specified in the award, all reasonable costs, attorneys’ fees and other expenses
incurred by such prevailing party to arbitrate the claim, dispute or
controversy.
