Resolution of Disputes:
Waiver of Trial by Jury. The parties to this Agreement desire to avoid the additional time and expense related to
a jury trial of any disputes arising hereunder. Therefore, it is mutually agreed by and between the parties hereto,
and for their successors assigns, that they shall and hereby do waive trial by jury of any claim, counterclaim, or
third party claim, including any and all claims of injury or damages, brought by either party against the other
arising out of or in any way connected with this Agreement and the relationship which arises here from. The
parties acknowledge and agree that this waiver is knowingly, freely and voluntarily given, is desired by all
parties, and is in the best interest of all parties.
Negotiation: The parties shall attempt in good faith to resolve any dispute arising out of or relating to this
Agreement promptly by negotiations between the parties who have authority to settle the controversy. Either
party may give the other party written notice of any dispute not resolved in the normal course of business.
Within two (2) days after delivery of said notice, both parties shall meet at a mutually acceptable time and place
(by mutual agreement, such meeting may be held by telephone), and thereafter as often as they deem necessary,
to exchange relevant information and to attempt to resolve the dispute. If the matter has not been resolved
within five (5) days of the disputing party notice, or if the parties fail to meet within two (2) days, either party
may initiate the arbitration of the controversy or claim as provided below.
Arbitration: The parties agree and acknowledge that their relationship and this Agreement involves and/or has
direct and substantial impact on interstate commerce and any and all disputes arising out of or in any way
related to this Agreement shall be resolved by binding arbitration conducted pursuant to the Federal Arbitration
Act. Any dispute that has not been resolved by negotiation, as provided hereinabove, within five (5) days shall
be finally settled by arbitration conducted expeditiously in accordance with the Commercial arbitration Rules of
the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) by a sole arbitration; provided, however, that persons eligible to
be selected as arbitrators shall be limited to attorneys at law who are on the AAA’s Large Complex Cases
Panel; or who have professional credentials similar to the attorneys listed on such AAA panel. If the parties
encounter difficulty in agreeing on an arbitrator, they agree that the AAA shall select the arbitrator.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if one party has requested the other party to participate in the non-binding
dispute resolution procedure under this Paragraph 7 and the other party has failed to participate therein, the
other party may initiate arbitration before expiration of the above time periods. The arbitration shall be
governed by the United States Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. Sections 1-16. The law shall be based upon the
Georgia law and judicial precedent and judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered by
any court having jurisdiction thereof. The place of arbitration shall be conducted in the registered place of
business in which the event producer and the entity of Heroes Music Festival Inc., reside in (Houston County,
GA ) The arbitrator is not empowered to award damages in excess of compensatory damages and each party
hereby irrevocably waives any damages in excess of compensatory damages.
All arbitration proceedings shall be confidential and no party may disclose the existence content or results
of any arbitration except as required by law or for purposes of enforcement of the arbitration award. Any
documents related to settlement negotiations shall be conspicuously designated as such on the first page of said
document and shall be inadmissible in the arbitration proceedings, unless the other party challenges the
designation within two (2) days of receipt. Disputes in this regard may be submitted to the arbitrator by the
contesting party, and each party shall continue to treat the information as confidential and inadmissible pending
resolution by the arbitrator. In the event of a dispute, the arbitrator will decide the issue by applying the Federal
Rules of Evidence and case law interpreting the same. The arbitrator shall render a written award. Judgment on
any arbitration award may be entered in any court having proper jurisdiction. The parties understand and
acknowledge by signing this Agreement that they agree to be bound by the arbitrator’s decisions, are expressly
waiving all rights to appeal the same, and are waiving their rights to file a lawsuit in any manner whatsoever to
this Agreement. The parties are not waiving their right to legal counsel to assist them in any phase of the
arbitration process. If arbitration becomes necessary, the arbitrator shall award the successful party reasonable
attorney’s fees and costs. This arbitration clause shall survive the termination of this agreement.
Extent of Agreement: This Agreement represents the entire integrated agreement between the parties and
supersedes all prior negotiations, either written or oral. This agreement may be amended only by written
instrument signed by each party to this agreement.
No Assignment: The parties’ rights under this Agreement are not assignable without the written consent of all
parties hereto. Without such written consent signed by all parties, no sale, assignment, mortgage, pledge,
encumbrance, or other disposition by a party of any interest, and any monies, or otherwise under this
Agreement, shall be of any force or effect.
Successors and Assigns: This Agreement shall be binding on and inure to the benefit of each party hereto, and
its and his heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns at law.
NON-Exclusivity: Sponsor shall not be sole sponsor of Heroes Music Festival. This Agreement in no way
limits Event Producer from contracting with additional event Sponsors except to the extent set forth in Exhibit
A.

Agreement.
Construction and Right to Independent Counsel: Both parties have had full opportunity and have been advised
