In the event either party commences litigation regarding any matter arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, the other party shall have the absolute right to have such litigation dismissed, and shall have the right to either request that the court refer the matter to arbitration or institute an arbitration proceeding which shall supersede and take precedence over any court proceedings. All attorneys’ fees and costs incurred by either party in opposing and/or obtaining a dismissal of such non-arbitration proceedings shall be recoverable against the party initiating such proceedings.
