12. JURISDICTION, DISPUTE RESOLUTION, INTERPRETATION, SEVERABILITY AND MERGER These SATS,
and all disputes arising from or related to them, their interpretation, or their subject matters shall be
governed by, resolved and remedied in accordance with the laws of the State of Rhode Island (without
resort to conflict of law principles) as it applies to agreements entered into and to be performed entirely
within such State and to acts or omissions occurring wholly within the State. Any claims arising from or
related to the SATS or their subject matters shall be brought and resolved only in the appropriate State
or Federal Courts located in or closest to Dallas, Rhode Island, and you expressly consent to the
jurisdiction and exclusive venue of said courts. However, OE, at its sole discretion, can also institute or
convert any action (no matter which party initiates it) to an arbitration under the applicable rules of the
American Arbitration Association, said arbitration to: (1) apply the choice-oflaw specified above; and (2)
take place in Jamestown, RI. If otherwise applicable hereto, the Uniform Computer Information
Transactions Act (as adopted by any State) and the United Nations Convention for the International Sale
of Goods are hereby agreed not to be applicable to these SATS and their subject matters. In addition, all
disclaimable or waivable local and international provisions related to choice of law or dispute resolution
are waived or disclaimed by you in favor of the above choice of Rhode Islane law, jurisdiction and forms
for dispute resolution. You agree and represent that you have carefully considered the SATS and that
ambiguities, if any, shall not be enforced against the drafter but shall be fairly read so as not to prejudice
the rights of OE. If any provision(s) of the SATS are deemed unenforceable in a determination by a body
with proper jurisdiction, the Parties agree (without waiving rights of appeal) that the unenforceable
provision(s) shall be: (1) reconstituted to approximate as closely as lawfully possible the evident intent
of the original provision(s); or (2) if option (1), above, cannot be implemented, the unenforceable
provision(s) shall be excised from the SATS and the Parties shall negotiate in good faith with respect to
their modification. If the Parties cannot agree to a modification, the SATS shall be enforced, without the
unenforceable provision, in a fair manner and without undue prejudice to either Party. This represents
the entire agreement between the Parties relating to the matters contained herein and shall not be
modified except in writing supplied by OE
