9. Arbitration

9.1. Right to Arbitrate Claims

If any kind of legal claim arises between us as a result of your purchase of the Note, either of us will have the right to arbitrate the claim, rather than use the courts. There are only three exceptions to this rule. First, we will not invoke our right to arbitrate a claim you bring in Small Claims Court or an equivalent court, if any, so long as the claim is pending only in that court. Second, we have the right to seek an injunction in court if you violate or threaten to violate your obligations. Third, disputes arising under the Note or the Revenue Sharing Agreement will be handled in the manner described in the Revenue Sharing Agreement.

9.2. Place of Arbitration; Rules

All arbitration will be conducted in Massachusetts unless we agree otherwise in writing in a specific case. All arbitration will be conducted before a single arbitrator in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association.

9.3. Appeal of Award

Within thirty (30) days of a final award by the single arbitrator, you or we may appeal the award for reconsideration by a three-arbitrator panel. If you or we appeal, the other party may cross- appeal within thirty (30) days afler notice of the appeal. The panel will reconsider all aspects of the initial award that are appealed, including related findings of fact.

9.4. Effect of Award

Any award by the individual arbitrator that is not subject to appeal, and any panel award on appeal, shall be final and binding, except for any appeal right under the Federal Arbitration Act, and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.

9.5. No Class Action Claims

NO ARBITRATION SHALL PROCEED ON A CLASS, REPRESENTATIVE, OR COLLECTIVE BASIS.

No party may join, consolidate, or otherwise bring claims for or on behalf of two or more individuals or unrelated corporate entities in the same arbitration unless those persons are parties to a single transaction. An award in arbitration shall determine the rights and obligations of the named parties only, and only with respect to the claims in arbitration, and shall not (i) determine the rights, obligations, or interests of anyone other than a named party, or resolve any claim of anyone other than a named party, or (ii) make an award for the benefit of, or against, anyone other than a named party. No administrator or arbitrator shall have the power or authority to waive, modify, or fail to enforce this paragraph, and any attempt to do so, whether by rule, policy, arbitration decision or otherwise, shall be invalid and unenforceable. Any challenge to the validity of this paragraph shall be determined exclusively by a court and not by the administrator or any arbitrator. If this paragraph shall be deemed unenforceable, then any proceeding in the nature of a class action shall be handled in court, not in arbitration.

10. Consent to Electronic Delivery

You agree that we may deliver all notices, tax reports and other documents and information to you by email or another electronic delivery method we choose. You agree to tell us right away if you change your email address or home mailing address so we can send information to the new address.

11. Notices

All notices between us will be electronic. You will contact us by email at the address indicated on the Company Signature Page below. We will contact you by email at the email address below. Either of us may change our email address by notifying the other (by email). Any notice will be considered to have been received on the day it was sent by email, unless the recipient can demonstrate that a problem occurred with delivery. You should designate our email address as a “safe sender” so our emails do not get trapped in your spam filter.

12. Limitations on Damages

WE WILL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY LOST PROFITS OR SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, EVEN IF YOU TELL US YOU MIGHT INCUR THOSE DAMAGES. This means that at

most, you can xxx us for the amount of your investment. You can’t xxx us for anything else.

13. Waiver of Jury Rights

IN ANY DISPUTE WITH US, YOU AGREE TO WAIVE YOUR RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY. This means that

any dispute will be heard by an arbitrator or a judge, not a jury.

14. Miscellaneous Provisions

14.1. No Transfer

You may not transfer your rights or obligations.

14.2. Right to Legal Fees

If we have a legal dispute with you, the losing party will pay the costs of the winning party, including reasonable legal fees.

14.3. Headings

The headings used in this Investment Agreement (e.g., the word “Headings” in this paragraph), are used only for convenience and have no legal significance.

14.4. No Other Agreements

This Investment Agreement and the Exhibits attached hereto are the only agreements between us.

Any Holder who receives a payment on a Note while an Event of Default remains in eRect with respect to such Note in excess of the amount such Holder should have received shall be deemed to be holding such excess in trust for the benefit of other Holders and the Representative, and shall return such excess on demand.

13.6. Forbearance Not a Waiver

If a Holder or the Representative delays in exercising or fails to exercise any of its rights under a Note or this Revenue Sharing Agreement, that delay or failure shall not constitute a waiver of any rights or of any breach or default. No waiver by a Holder or the Representative shall be eRective unless the waiver is expressly stated in a writing signed by the Holder or the Representative, as the case may be.

13.7. Termination of Default

An Event of Default shall be deemed to have been terminated upon the earliest to occur of:

13.7.1. The date the Representative and the Company enter into a settlement of all claims; or
