In the event of any arbitration between the Parties hereto involving this Agreement or the respective rights of the Parties hereunder, the Party who does not prevail in such arbitration shall pay all the prevailing Party’s reasonable attorneys’ and experts’ fees, costs and expenses incurred by the prevailing Party in resolving said matter.
