ARBITRATION AGREEMENT
This Arbitration Agreement significantly affects your rights in any dispute with us. Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this contract, or the breach thereof, other than obligation to pay the stated invoice price, taxes, and fees associated with the purchase shall be settled by arbitration at your option or that of HBI Auto. If arbitration is demanded by either you or HBI Auto, there will be no right to a jury trial or to appeal from the decision of the arbitrator. A judgment on the award in arbitration may be entered by the Davie County Superior Court in accord with the provisions of Chapter 1 of the North Carolina General Statutes. If a dispute is arbitrated, you will give up your right to participate as a class representative or class member on any class claim you may have against HBI Auto.
A complaining party as to any controversy or dispute who wishes to demand arbitration shall notify the other Party of the dispute in writing, setting forth relevant facts, and explaining why the complaining Party believes the dispute should be resolved in its favor. Within five (5) business days after such notice has been given, the Parties shall meet, by conference call or in person, in an effort to resolve the dispute. If they are unable to resolve the dispute, either Party may institute arbitration as hereinafter set forth. If the Parties are unable to resolve the dispute, the same shall be referred to an arbitrator qualified under the regulations of the Administrative Office of the North Carolina Courts and who shall have had experience in the field of business litigation. The Senior Resident Superior Court Judge for Davie County will appoint the arbitrator upon application of either Party. You and HBI Auto will share the expense of arbitration equally.
The arbitration hearing shall be held at a mutually agreeable location in Davie County, North Carolina on a mutually agreeable date no later than thirty (30) calendar days from the date of the appointment of the arbitrator. The arbitrator shall be empowered to establish the rules under which the arbitration process will be governed, including the exchange of documents, the identification of witnesses, and the applicability of the North Carolina Rules of Evidence. The arbitrator shall be further empowered to continue the arbitration hearing upon his own motion or that of any Party to the proceeding. The arbitrator will first attempt to facilitate ("mediate") a voluntary and mutually satisfactory resolution of the controversy or controversies between the Parties. In the event that an impasse is reached by the Parties during the process of mediation, the Parties agree that the arbitrator will be empowered to render a binding arbitration award; provided, however, that before rendering such binding arbitration award, the arbitrator shall afford the Parties a reasonable opportunity to prepare and present additional evidence and arguments in support of their respective positions.
Any award rendered by the arbitrator shall be final and binding upon all Parties to this dispute, and judgment on such award may be entered by either Party in any court having jurisdiction over the Parties. The Parties agree and stipulate that the provisions of this Agreement shall be a complete defense to any suit, action, or proceeding instituted in any federal, State, or other Court or before any administrative tribunal or agency with respect to any controversy or dispute arising under this Agreement.
This arbitration agreement shall, with respect to a controversy or dispute within its terms, survive the termination or expiration of any other agreement between you and HBI. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to give the arbitrator any authority, power or right to alter, change, amend, modify, add to, or subtract from any of the provisions of this Agreement.

In the event that either of us shall be questioned or examined concerning any of the matters formerly in dispute between and among us it is expressly agreed that the only comment

Furthermore, any award made by the arbitrator shall provide that neither of us will make, participate in the making of, or encourage any other person to make, any statements, written or oral, that criticize, disparage, or defame the goodwill or reputation of, or which is intended to embarrass or adversely affect, either you or HBI Auto.
