Exemplary Damages. The parties agree that they shall not have a remedy of
punitive or exemplary damages against other parties in any Dispute and hereby
waive any right or claim to punitive or exemplary damages they have now or which
may arise in the future in connection with any Dispute whether the Dispute is
resolved by arbitration or judicially. Waiver of Jury Trial. THE PARTIES
ACKNOWLEDGE THAT BY AGREEING TO BINDING ARBITRATION THEY HAVE IRREVOCABLY WAIVED
