D. Governing Law,
Disputes. The Parties agree that this
Agreement shall in all respects be construed, governed, applied and enforced in
accordance with the laws of the State of New York and be deemed to be an
agreement entered into in the State of New York and made pursuant to the laws of
the State of New York, without giving effect to the principles of conflicts of
law. The Parties agree that they shall be deemed to have agreed to
binding arbitration with respect to the entire subject matter of any and all
disputes relating to or arising under this Agreement including, but not limited
to, the specific matters or disputes as to which arbitration has been expressly
provided for by other provisions of this Agreement and that any such arbitration
shall be commenced exclusively in New York, New York. Any such
arbitration shall be by a panel of three arbitrators and (x) pursuant to the
commercial rules then existing of the American Arbitration Association in the
State of New York, County of New York, if commenced by the Guarantor or the
Company and (y) pursuant to the commercial rules then existing of the American
Arbitration Association in the State of Texas, if commenced by the
Consultant. In all arbitrations, judgment upon the arbitration award
may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. The Parties
specifically and exclusively designate the courts in the City of New York, State
of New York as properly having jurisdiction for any proceeding to confirm and
enter judgment upon any such arbitration award. If the arbitration
was commenced by the Guarantor or the Company, the Parties hereby consent to and
submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York in
any action or proceeding and submit to personal jurisdiction over each of them
by such courts with respect to the confirmation and entry of judgment of any
arbitration award. If the arbitration was commenced by the Consultant
the Parties hereby consent to and submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the
courts of the State of Texas in any action or proceeding and submit to personal
jurisdiction over each of them by such courts with respect to the confirmation
and entry of judgment of any arbitration award. The Parties hereby
waive personal service of any and all process and specifically consent that in
any such action or proceeding brought in the courts of the State of New York
with respect to an arbitration commenced by the Guarantor or the Company, or the
State of Texas with respect to an arbitration commenced by the Consultant, any
service of process may be effectuated upon any of them by certified mail, return
receipt requested, in accordance with Paragraph “(C)” of this Article “9” of
this Agreement. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in
any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by
law.
4
The
Parties agree, further, that the prevailing party in any such arbitration as
determined by the arbitrators shall be entitled to such costs and attorney's
fees, if any, in connection with such arbitration as may be awarded by the
arbitrators. In connection with the arbitrators’ determination for
the purpose of which party, if any, is the prevailing party, they shall take
into account all of the factors and circumstances including, without limitation,
the relief sought, and by whom, and the relief, if any, awarded, and to
whom. In addition, and notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, a
party shall not be deemed to be the prevailing party in a claim seeking monetary
damages, unless the amount of the arbitration award exceeds the amount offered
in a legally binding writing by the other party by fifteen percent (15%) or
more. For example, if the party initiating arbitration (“A”) seeks an
award of $100,000 plus costs and expenses, the other party (“B”) has offered A
$50,000 in a legally binding written offer prior to the commencement of the
arbitration proceeding, and the arbitration panel awards any amount less than
$57,500 to A, the panel should determine that B has “prevailed”.
The
arbitration panel shall have no power to award non-monetary or equitable relief
of any sort. It shall also have no power to award (i) damages
inconsistent with any applicable agreement between the parties or (ii) punitive
damages or any other damages not measured by the prevailing party’s actual
damages; and the parties expressly waive their right to obtain such damages in
arbitration or in any other forum. In no event, even if any other
portion of these provisions is held invalid or unenforceable, shall the
arbitration panel have power to make an award or impose a remedy which could not
be made or imposed by a court deciding the matter in the same
jurisdiction.
Discovery
shall be permitted in connection with the arbitration only to the extent, if
any, expressly authorized by the arbitration panel upon a showing of substantial
need by the party seeking discovery.
5
All
aspects of the arbitration shall be treated as confidential. The
Parties and the arbitration panel may disclose the existence, content or results
of the arbitration only as provided in the rules of the American Arbitration
Association in New York, New York if an arbitration is commenced by the
Guarantor or the Company. Before making any such disclosure, a party
shall give written notice to all other parties and shall afford such parties a
reasonable opportunity to protect their interest.
E. Entire
Agreement. This Guarantee and all documents and instruments
referred to herein (i) constitute the entire agreement and supersede all prior
and contemporaneous agreements and understandings, excluding any agreements
which are referred to herein and made a part hereof, both written and oral,
among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and
(ii) are not intended to confer upon any person other than the parties hereto

disclaims any other representations and warranties made by itself or any of its

of any documentation or other information with respect to any one or more of the

obligations under federal securities laws and pursuant to Exchange or listing
requirements, including, but not limited to, the Guarantor’s disclosure
obligations as a listed company on Pink Sheets Electronic OTC
Markets. If either party or the Guarantor intends to make a
disclosure of the terms of this Guarantee as required by law, by judicial or
other compulsory process, by any regulatory agency, or as may be required in
connection with the Guarantor’s obligations under federal securities laws, such
party shall notify the other party, if feasible, in advance of any such
disclosure. The Parties agree that the terms of this Paragraph G regarding
confidentiality are not material to this Agreement and any breach of this
paragraph shall not be considered a material breach of this
Agreement. In the event of such a breach of this Paragraph G, the
non-breaching party shall only be entitled to injunctive relief and/or monetary
damages for actual xxxxx caused by the breach.
H. No Assignment.
Consultant hereby agrees that Consultants’ rights under this Guarantee shall not
be transferred or assigned to anyone without the prior written consent of the
Guarantor, which consent may be withheld by Guarantor for any or no reason. UV
hereby agrees that UV’s obligations under this Guarantee shall not be
transferred or assigned to anyone without the prior written consent of
Consultant, which consent may be withheld by Consultant for any or no
reason.
7
I. Further
Assurances. The Parties agree to execute any and all such
other further instruments and documents, and to take any and all such further
actions which are reasonably required to effectuate this Guarantee and the
intents and purposes hereof.
J. Non-Waiver. Except
as otherwise expressly provided herein, no waiver of any covenant, condition, or
provision of this Guarantee shall be deemed to have been made unless expressly
in writing and signed by the party against whom such waiver is charged; and (i)
the failure of any party to insist in any one or more cases upon the performance
of any of the provisions, covenants or conditions of this Guarantee or to
exercise any option herein contained shall not be construed as a waiver or
relinquishment for the future of any such provisions, covenants or conditions,
(ii) the acceptance of performance of anything required by this Guarantee to be
performed with knowledge of the breach or failure of a covenant, condition or
provision hereof shall not be deemed a waiver of such breach or failure and
(iii) no waiver by any party of one breach by another party shall be construed
as a waiver of any other or subsequent breach.
K. Counterparts. This
Guarantee may be executed simultaneously in one or more counterparts, each of
which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute
one and the same instrument.
L. Facsimile
Signatures. Any signature which is delivered via facsimile
shall be deemed to be an original and have the same force and effect as if such
facsimile signature were the original thereof.
8
M. Binding upon Execution and
Delivery. No party to this Guarantee shall be bound hereby until fully
executed counterparts to this Guarantee have been executed by, and delivered to,
each party, or their respective attorneys, by all other parties or their
respective attorneys.
N. Construction. Each
of the parties hereto hereby further acknowledges and agrees that (i) each has
been advised by counsel during the course of negotiations and (ii) each counsel
has had significant input in the development of this Guarantee and (iii) this
Guarantee shall not, therefore, be construed more strictly against any party
responsible for its drafting regardless of any presumption or rule requiring
construction against the party whose attorney drafted this
Guarantee.

Guarantee may not be changed, modified, extended, terminated or discharged
orally, except by a written agreement specifically referring to this Guarantee
which is signed by all of the parties to this Guarantee.

or in
each case to such other address and facsimile number as shall have last been
furnished by like notice. If all of the methods of notice set forth
in this Paragraph “C” of this Article “11” of this Agreement are impossible for
any reason, notice shall be in writing and personally delivered to the aforesaid
addresses. Each notice or communication shall be deemed to have been
given as of the date so mailed or delivered as the case may be; provided,
however, that any notice sent by facsimile shall be deemed to have
been given as of the date so sent if a copy thereof is also mailed by first
class mail on the date sent by facsimile, if the date of mailing is not the same
as the date of sending by facsimile, then the date of mailing by first class
mail shall be deemed to be the date upon which notice is given; provided
further, however, that any notice sent by overnight delivery shall be deemed to
have been given as of the date of delivery.
(D) Governing
Law; Disputes. The Parties agree that this Agreement shall in
all respects be construed, governed, applied and enforced in accordance with the
laws of the State of New York and be deemed to be an agreement entered into in
the State of New York and made pursuant to the laws of the State of New York,
without giving effect to the principles of conflicts of law. The
Parties agree that they shall be deemed to have agreed to binding arbitration
with respect to the entire subject matter of any and all disputes relating to or
arising under this Agreement including, but not limited to, the specific matters
or disputes as to which arbitration has been expressly provided for by other
provisions of this Agreement and that any such arbitration shall be commenced
exclusively in New York, New York. Any such arbitration shall be by a
panel of three arbitrators and (x) pursuant to the commercial rules then
existing of the American Arbitration Association in the State of New York,
County of New York, if commenced by the Company, and (y) pursuant to the
commercial rules then existing of the American Arbitration Association in the
State of Texas, if commenced by the Consultant. In all arbitrations,
judgment upon the arbitration award may be entered in any court having
jurisdiction. The Parties specifically and exclusively designate the
courts in the City of New York, State of New York. If the arbitration
was commenced by the Company, the Parties hereby consent to and submit to the
exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York in any action or
proceeding and submit to personal jurisdiction over each of them by such courts
with respect to the confirmation and entry of judgment of any arbitration
award. If the arbitration was commenced by the Consultant, the
Parties hereby consent to and submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts
of the State of Texas in any action or proceeding and submit to personal
jurisdiction over each of them by such courts with respect to the confirmation
and entry of judgment of any arbitration award. The Parties hereby
waive personal service of any and all process and specifically consent that in
any such action or proceeding brought in the courts of the State of New York
with respect to an arbitration commenced by the Company, or the State of Texas
with respect to an arbitration commenced by the Consultant, any service of
process may be effectuated upon any of them by certified mail, return receipt
requested, in accordance with Paragraph “(C)” of this Article “11” of this
Agreement. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any
way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law.
21
The
Parties agree, further, that the prevailing party in any such arbitration as
determined by the arbitrators shall be entitled to such costs and attorney's
fees, if any, in connection with such arbitration as may be awarded by the
arbitrators. In connection with the arbitrators’ determination for
the purpose of which party, if any, is the prevailing party, they shall take
into account all of the factors and circumstances including, without limitation,
the relief sought, and by whom, and the relief, if any, awarded, and to
whom. In addition, and notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, a
party shall not be deemed to be the prevailing party in a claim seeking monetary
damages, unless the amount of the arbitration award exceeds the amount offered
in a legally binding writing by the other party by fifteen percent (15%) or
more. For example, if the party initiating arbitration (“A”) seeks an
award of $100,000 plus costs and expenses, the other party (“B”) has offered A
$50,000 in a legally binding written offer prior to the commencement of the
arbitration proceeding, and the arbitration panel awards any amount less than
$57,500 to A, the panel should determine that B has “prevailed”.
The
arbitration panel shall have no power to award non-monetary or equitable relief
of any sort. It shall also have no power to award (i) damages
inconsistent with any applicable agreement between the parties or (ii) punitive
damages or any other damages not measured by the prevailing party’s actual
damages; and the parties expressly waive their right to obtain such damages in
arbitration or in any other forum. In no event, even if any other
portion of these provisions is held invalid or unenforceable, shall the
arbitration panel have power to make an award or impose a remedy which could not
be made or imposed by a court deciding the matter in the same
jurisdiction.
Discovery
shall be permitted in connection with the arbitration only to the extent, if
any, expressly authorized by the arbitration panel upon a showing of substantial
need by the party seeking discovery.
22
All
aspects of the arbitration shall be treated as confidential. The
Parties and the arbitration panel may disclose the existence, content or results
of the arbitration only as provided in the rules of the American Arbitration
Association in New York, New York.
(E) Expenses. Each
party to this Agreement shall bear and pay its own costs and expenses incurred
in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the
transactions set forth in this Agreement.
(F) Entire
Agreement. This Agreement and all documents and instruments referred
to herein (i) constitute the entire agreement and supersede all prior and
contemporaneous agreements and understandings, excluding any agreements which
are referred to herein and made a part hereof, both written and oral, among the
parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and (ii) are not
intended to confer upon any person other than the parties hereto any rights or
remedies hereunder. Each party to this Agreement agrees that, except
for the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement, neither
party makes any other representations or warranties, and each hereby disclaims
any other representations and warranties made by itself or any of its officers,
directors, employees, agents, financial and legal advisors or other
representatives, with respect to the execution and delivery of this Agreement or
the transactions contemplated hereby, notwithstanding the delivery or disclosure
of any documentation or other information with respect to any one or more of the
foregoing.
23

not make public disclosure of the terms of this Agreement, except: (i) as may be
required by law, (ii) in connection with litigation or other legal proceeding
against a party, (iii) by judicial or other compulsory process, (iv) by any
regulatory agency, or (v) as may be required in connection with the Company’s
parent company, UV Flu Technologies, Inc. (“UV”) obligations under federal
securities laws and pursuant to Exchange or listing requirements, including, but
not limited to, UV’s disclosure obligations as a listed company on OTC
Markets. If either party intends to make a disclosure of the terms of
this Agreement as required by law, by judicial or other compulsory process, by
any regulatory agency, or as may be required in connection with UV’s obligations
under federal securities laws, such party shall notify the other party, if
feasible, in advance of any such disclosure. The Parties
agree that the terms of this Paragraph “G” of this Article “11” of this
Agreement regarding confidentiality are not material to this Agreement and any
breach of this paragraph shall not be considered a material breach of this
Agreement. In the event of such a breach of this Paragraph “G” of
this Article “11” of this Agreement, the non-breaching party shall only be
entitled to injunctive relief and/or monetary damages for actual xxxxx caused by
the breach.
H. No Assignment.
Consultant hereby agrees that Consultant’s rights under this Agreement shall not
be transferred or assigned to anyone without the prior written consent of the
Company.
I. Further
Assurances. The Parties agree to execute any and all such
other further instruments and documents, and to take any and all such further
actions which are reasonably required to effectuate this Agreement and the
intents and purposes hereof.
24
J. Non-Waiver. Except
as otherwise expressly provided herein, no waiver of any covenant, condition, or
provision of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been made unless expressly
in writing and signed by the party against whom such waiver is charged; and (i)
the failure of any party to insist in any one or more cases upon the performance
of any of the provisions, covenants or conditions of this Agreement or to
exercise any option herein contained shall not be construed as a waiver or
relinquishment for the future of any such provisions, covenants or conditions,
(ii) the acceptance of performance of anything required by this Agreement to be
performed with knowledge of the breach or failure of a covenant, condition or
provision hereof shall not be deemed a waiver of such breach or failure and
(iii) no waiver by any party of one breach by another party shall be construed
as a waiver of any other or subsequent breach.
K. Counterparts. This
Agreement may be executed simultaneously in one or more counterparts, each of
which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute
one and the same instrument.
L. Facsimile
Signatures. Any signature which is delivered via facsimile
shall be deemed to be an original and have the same force and effect as if such
facsimile signature were the original thereof.
25
M. Binding upon Execution and
Delivery. No party to this Agreement shall be bound hereby until fully
executed counterparts to this Agreement have been executed by, and delivered to,
each party, or their respective attorneys, by all other parties or their
respective attorneys.
N. Construction. Each
of the parties hereto hereby further acknowledges and agrees that (i) each has
been advised by counsel during the course of negotiations and (ii) each counsel
has had significant input in the development of this Agreement and (iii) this
Agreement shall not, therefore, be construed more strictly against any party
responsible for its drafting regardless of any presumption or rule requiring
construction against the party whose attorney drafted this
Agreement.
O. Modifications. This
Agreement may not be changed, modified, extended, terminated or discharged
orally, except by a written agreement specifically referring to this Agreement
which is signed by all of the parties to this Agreement.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the
parties to this Agreement have set their hands and seals or caused these
presents to be signed of the day and year first above written.
