21. LANGUAGE;
HEADINGS
This Agreement is executed in the
English language, which shall be the sole and controlling language used in
interpreting or construing its meaning. The titles and headings of
the various sections and paragraphs in the Agreement are intended solely for
convenience of reference and are not intended for any other purpose whatsoever,
or to explain, modify or place any construction upon or on any of the provisions
of the Agreement.
22. ARBITRATION
Any dispute arising from or in
connection with this Agreement shall first be resolved by negotiations between
en2go and DSI. If such negotiations do not resolve the dispute,
either party has the right to submit the dispute to the American Arbitration
Association in Los Angeles, California, for arbitration by a single arbitrator,
which shall be conducted in accordance with the commercial arbitration rules in
effect at the time of applying for arbitration. The arbitral award is
final and binding upon both parties. Each party shall pay their own
expenses relating to arbitration.
23. AMENDMENT;
WAIVER
No provisions in any business forms
employed by either party will supersede the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, and no supplement, modification, or amendment of this Agreement shall
be binding unless executed in writing by a duly authorized representative of
each party to this Agreement; provided however, that, in the event en2go from
time to time determines, in its sole and absolute discretion, that any
provisions of this Agreement may be invalid, unenforceable, or otherwise
inconsistent with the laws and regulations in force anywhere in the Territory,
as they may from time to time be amended, DSI agrees to in good faith employ its
best efforts to reach agreement with en2go on, and to execute, an amendment of
this Agreement designed to cure such obstacles to recognition and
enforcement. None of the provisions of this Agreement shall be
deemed to have been waived by any act of or acquiescence on the part of en2go or
its agents, employees, but only an instrument in writing signed by an authorized
officer of en2go. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall
constitute a waiver of any other provision or of the same provision on another
occasion.
24. SEVERABILITY AND
REFORMABILITY
If any term of this Agreement is held
invalid and unenforceable pursuant to judicial decree or decision, then this
Agreement, including all of the remaining terms, will remain in full force and
effect and such term will be deemed to be either (i) restated or (ii) eliminated
as if such term had never been included, such restatement or elimination
reflecting as nearly as possible the original intentions of the parties in
accordance with applicable law.
25. ENTIRE
AGREEMENT
The parties have read this Agreement
and agree to be bound by its terms, and further agree that it constitutes the
complete and entire Agreement of the parties and supersedes all previous and
contemporaneous communications, oral, implied or written, and all other
communications between them relating to the subject matter
thereof. No representations or statements of any kind in relation to
the subject matter hereof made by either party, which are not expressly stated
herein, shall be binding on such party.

26. COUNTERPARTS
This Agreement may be executed in one
or more counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original but all of which

27. ATTORNEY
FEES
In the event of any controversy or
claim or dispute between the parties arising out of or relating to this
Agreement, or the breach of this Agreement, the prevailing party will be
entitled to recover, from the losing party, reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses
and costs.
