1 For its Complaint, Plaintiff Amini Innovation Corporation alleges as follows:


2
3 PARTIES
4 1. Plaintiff Amini Innovation Corporation (“Plaintiff” or “AICO”) is a
5 California corporation having its principal place of business at 8725 Rex Road,
6 Pico Rivera, California 90660. AICO has designed for it, markets, and sells unique
7 and original home furnishings. AICO displays and offers its furniture for sale at
8 various trade shows and through its distributors.
Facsimile: (310) 394-4477

9 2. Defendant Cosmos Furniture, Inc. (“Cosmos U.S.”) is a New Jersey


10 corporation having places of business at 2300 U.S. Highway 1, North Brunswick,
11 New Jersey 08902-4438 and 497 State Route 27, Iselin, New Jersey 08830-1706.
CISLO & THOMAS LLP

14 L6T 3W4, Canada.


Telephone: (310) 451-0647

15 4. Defendant Paul Kumar (aka Avjit Kumar) (“Kumar”) is an individual


16 residing in Monroe Township, New Jersey, who has directed and ratified all of the
17 actions described hereinbelow, including in connection with the three previous
18 settlement agreements between AICO and Cosmos.
19 5. Cosmos U.S. and Cosmos Canada may be referred to herein
20 collectively as “Cosmos”, and are believed to be owned, controlled, and operated
21 by Kumar for his own personal benefit and gain, in disregard of corporate
22 formalities. Cosmos and Kumar may be referred to herein collectively as
23 “Defendants.”
24 6. By virtue of Cosmos Canada’s three previous settlement agreements
25 with AICO, the common ownership and control of Cosmos U.S. and Cosmos
26 Canada by Kumar, and Kumar’s use of the Cosmos entities for his own personal,
27 individual benefit and gain, personal jurisdiction and venue over Defendants is
28 proper in this Court.

1 7. The true names and capacities, whether individual, corporate or


2 otherwise of Defendants Does 1-9 inclusive, are unknown to AICO, who therefore
3 sues them by such fictitious names. AICO will seek leave to amend this complaint
4 to allege their true names and capacities when they have been ascertained. AICO is
5 informed and believes and thereon alleges that each of the fictitiously named
6 Defendants is responsible in some manner for the occurrences herein alleged and
7 that AICO’s damages as herein alleged were proximately caused by those
8 Defendants. At all times herein mentioned, Defendants Does 1-9 inclusive were the
Facsimile: (310) 394-4477

9 agents, servants, employees or attorneys of their co-defendants, and in doing the


10 things hereinafter alleged were acting within the course and scope of their authority
11 as those agents, servants, employees or attorneys, and with the permission and

14 JURISDICTION AND VENUE


Telephone: (310) 451-0647

15 8. This Court has subject matter jurisdiction over this action pursuant to
16 28 U.S.C. § 1331 and U.S.C. § 1338(a) as it arises under Acts of Congress related
17 to patents and copyrights. The Court has subject matter jurisdiction over AICO’s
18 breach of settlement agreement claim under 28 U.S.C. § 1367, as the facts
19 regarding each of AICO’s claims arise from the same common nucleus of operative
20 facts.
21 9. This Court has personal jurisdiction over Defendants based on ¶¶ 5-6
22 above, as well as the settlement agreements between AICO and Cosmos from 2009,
23 2011, and 2013. See, Exhibits 1, 2, and 3, attached hereto (at ¶ 11, ¶ 13, and ¶ 14
24 therein, respectively).
25 10. Venue as to Defendants is proper in this judicial district based on ¶¶ 5-
26 6 above, as well as the settlement agreements between AICO and Cosmos from
27 2009, 2011, and 2013. See, Exhibits 1, 2, and 3, attached hereto (at ¶ 11, ¶ 13, and
28 ¶ 14 therein, respectively). The exhibit to the 2013 Settlement Agreement is

5 The History of Cosmos’ Violations of AICO’s Intellectual Property Rights and
6 Breaches of Previous Settlement Agreements with AICO
7 11. AICO previously sued Cosmos Canada in this judicial district on
8 November 26, 2008 (Case No. 08-7855 AHM (PLAx)) (the “First Action”) for
Facsimile: (310) 394-4477

9 copyright infringement and design patent infringement for Cosmos’ dealings in a


10 series of furniture products accused of violating AICO’s intellectual property rights.
11 12. Cosmos Canada unsuccessfully moved to dismiss the complaint for
CISLO & THOMAS LLP

Los Angeles, CALIFORNIA 90025

12 lack of personal jurisdiction in the First Action.


12100 Wilshire Boulevard
Attorneys at Law

13 13. The First Action ultimately settled in June of 2009 with Cosmos
www.cislo.com
SUITE 1700

14 Canada agreeing to cease all dealings in the accused products, other than selling off
Telephone: (310) 451-0647

15 what it represented to be limited inventory by October 31, 2009 and removing


16 images of the accused products from its website promptly after the settlement in
17 June of 2009, which Cosmos did, for a time. The 2009 Settlement Agreement is
18 attached hereto as Exhibit 1.
19 14. The release in the 2009 Settlement Agreement extended to Cosmos
20 Canada’s affiliates, agents, representatives, employees, officers, directors, spouses,
21 heirs, administrators, executors or assigns, among others. This would include
22 Kumar, and Cosmos U.S., to the extent it existed at the time.
23 15. The 2009 Agreement also contained provisions directed to: (a) Cosmos
24 making its best efforts to respect AICO’s proprietary designs in the future, and (b) a
25 forum selection clause for this Court in the event of a breach.
26 16. In or about early 2011, AICO learned that many of the items that the
27 parties agreed would be discontinued by virtue of the 2009 Settlement Agreement
28 remained, or were re-introduced onto Cosmos’ website, and also appeared in a

4
Case 2:18-cv-06343 Document 1 Filed 07/23/18 Page 5 of 17 Page ID #:5

1 Cosmos catalog post-dating the 2009 Settlement Agreement. In addition, Cosmos


2 was caught dealing in other items that violated AICO’s intellectual property rights,
3 including certain dining room furniture that infringed AICO’s copyrights and
4 design patents for its Villa Valencia dining room table, china cabinet/buffet and arm
5 chair.
6 17. After giving notice to Cosmos regarding these and other violations,
7 AICO and Cosmos were able to resolve Cosmos’ blatant breach of the 2009
8 Settlement Agreement without the need for litigation. Attached hereto as Exhibit 2
Facsimile: (310) 394-4477

9 is a copy of a 2011 Settlement Agreement between AICO and Cosmos.


10 18. The release in the 2011 Settlement Agreement again extended to
11 Cosmos Canada’s affiliates, agents, representatives, employees, officers, directors,
CISLO & THOMAS LLP

Los Angeles, CALIFORNIA 90025

12 spouses, heirs, administrators, executors or assigns, among others. This would


12100 Wilshire Boulevard
Attorneys at Law

13 include Kumar, and Cosmos U.S., which is believed to have existed at the time.
www.cislo.com
SUITE 1700

14 19. The 2011 Settlement Agreement included a provision in which


Telephone: (310) 451-0647

15 Cosmos agreed not to deal in its furniture that violated AICO’s copyrights and
16 design patents for its Villa Valencia dining room table, china cabinet/buffet and arm
17 chair, as well as agreeing not to deal in any furniture products within the scope of
18 and/or substantially similar in appearance to the furniture shown in AICO’s
19 copyrights and design patents for its Villa Valencia dining room table, china
20 cabinet/buffet and arm chair.
21 20. The 2011 Settlement Agreement also contained provisions directed to:
22 (a) Cosmos exercising due diligence to avoid AICO’s proprietary designs in the
23 future, and (b) a forum selection clause for this Court in the event of a breach.
24 21. In late 2012, Cosmos was at it again. It dealt in furniture which
25 contained a hardware clip that had AICO’s logo on it, and it falsely represented to
26 its potential customers that some of Cosmos’ furniture was made at the same
27 factory as AICO’s, and that the CEO of AICO had approved of Cosmos’ sale of
28 such furniture.

5
Case 2:18-cv-06343 Document 1 Filed 07/23/18 Page 6 of 17 Page ID #:6

1 22. In addition, it was learned that Cosmos either never stopped dealing in
2 the prohibited furniture after the 2011 Settlement Agreement, or it resumed selling
3 such prohibited furniture between the time it signed the 2011 Settlement Agreement
4 and late 2012 when such new or ongoing violations were discovered by AICO.
5 23. As a result, on January 9, 2013, AICO filed a case in this Court (Case
6 No. 2:13-cv-00153-GHK-RZ) (the “Second Action”) alleging against Cosmos
7 Canada copyright infringement, design patent infringement, trademark
8 infringement, and breach of both the 2009 and 2011 Settlement Agreements.
Facsimile: (310) 394-4477

9 24. At that time, there could have been no way that Cosmos Canada,
10 Cosmos U.S., and their principals, including Kumar did not know about AICO’s
11 copyrights and design patents, particularly AICO’s copyrights and design patents
CISLO & THOMAS LLP

Los Angeles, CALIFORNIA 90025

12 for its Villa Valencia dining room table, china cabinet/buffet and arm chair.
12100 Wilshire Boulevard
Attorneys at Law

13 25. The bottom line from the foregoing is that Cosmos, as directed by its
www.cislo.com
SUITE 1700

14 principals, Paul Kumar and Sushmita Paul, were blatantly violating AICO’s
Telephone: (310) 451-0647

15 intellectual property rights, including AICO’s copyrights and design patents for its
16 Villa Valencia dining room table, china cabinet/buffet and arm chair.
17 26. Cosmos Canada, Cosmos U.S., and their principals knew full well no
18 later than late 2012 that their intentional and willfully unlawful actions as set forth
19 herein are causing harm to a company they know full well is based in this judicial
20 district.
21 27. Shortly after its filing, the Second Action was settled. A copy of the
22 2013 Settlement is attached hereto as Exhibit 3. The exhibit to the 2013 Settlement
23 Agreement is omitted to minimize the volume of materials submitted to the Court.
24 28. The release in the 2013 Settlement Agreement again extended to
25 Cosmos Canada’s affiliates, agents, representatives, employees, officers, directors,
26 spouses, heirs, administrators, executors or assigns, among others. This would
27 include Kumar, and Cosmos U.S., which is believed to have existed at the time.
28 29. The 2013 Settlement Agreement did not override or nullify the terms

6
Case 2:18-cv-06343 Document 1 Filed 07/23/18 Page 7 of 17 Page ID #:7

1 of the 2009 and 2011 Settlement Agreements.


2 30. The 2013 Settlement Agreement also contained provisions directed to:
3 (a) Cosmos exercising due diligence to make sure it avoided AICO’s proprietary
4 designs in the future, and (b) a forum selection clause for this Court in the event of
5 a breach.
6 31. The 2011 and 2013 Settlement Agreements also contain prevailing
7 party attorneys’ fees provisions.

24 companies in the United States and Canada.
25 36. AICO’s popular Villa Valencia dining room collection includes

21 assigned to AICO.
22
23 Cosmos’ Latest, Repeat and Willful Violations of AICO’s Intellectual Property
24 Rights and Breach of Settlement Agreements
25 44. AICO has recently learned of Defendants’ ongoing recidivism in that
26 Defendants have again violated AICO’s rights that they already promised to respect
27 and not violate, and also that Defendants have breached each of the three settlement
28 agreements between the parties.

8
Case 2:18-cv-06343 Document 1 Filed 07/23/18 Page 9 of 17 Page ID #:9

1 45. Cosmos, under the purposeful direction, control, and/or ratification of


2 Kumar, each with full knowledge of AICO’s proprietary rights that Defendants
3 agreed to exercise due diligence to avoid (including AICO’s Villa Valencia dining
4 room furniture), have again been dealing in furniture that infringes AICO’s
5 copyrights and design patents for its Villa Valencia dining room table, china
6 cabinet/buffet and arm chair.
7 46. More specifically, the dining table, hutch (or china cabinet)/buffet, and
8 arm chair in Cosmos’ Bethany Cherry, Bethany Gold, and Bethany Antique
Facsimile: (310) 394-4477

9 collections (all of which hereafter may be referred to as the “Accused Products”),


10 infringe AICO’s copyrights and design patents for its Villa Valencia dining table,
11 china cabinet/buffet, and chair with arms, respectively. Thus, Defendants are

12 recidivist, willful, intentional infringers of AICO’s copyrights and design patents


12100 Wilshire Boulevard

13 for its Villa Valencia dining table, china cabinet/buffet, and chair with arms.

SUITE 1700

14 47. Defendants have blatantly disregarded their obligations to not only to


Telephone: (310) 451-0647

15 respect AICO’s proprietary designs, but to exercise due diligence to avoid such
16 designs. Defendants are clearly attempting to ride on AICO’s coattails and benefit
17 from the tremendous goodwill and reputation AICO and its furniture designs have
18 in the industry in both the United States and Canada, and to divert sales away from
19 AICO by selling cheap knockoffs of AICO’s furniture.
20 48. For the aforementioned reasons, Cosmos is liable to AICO and must
21 be deterred from any further violations of AICO’s intellectual property rights.
22
23 COUNT I - COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT
24 17 U.S.C. §§ 101 ET SEQ.
25 49. AICO hereby repeats and incorporates herein the allegations set forth
26 in paragraphs 1 through 48 above.
27 50. This claim is against Defendants for copyright infringement in
28 violation of the Copyright Act of 1976, 17 U.S.C. § 101 et seq.

9
Case 2:18-cv-06343 Document 1 Filed 07/23/18 Page 10 of 17 Page ID #:10

1 51. AICO’s copyrighted works attached hereto as Exhibits 5-7 (the


2 “Works”) contain a substantial amount of original material which constitutes
3 copyrightable subject matter protected under the Copyright Act of 1976, 17 U.S.C.
4 § 101 et seq.
5 52. As previously alleged, AICO has applied for, and received from, the
6 United States Register of Copyrights Certificates of Registration for copyrighted
7 Works.
8 53. AICO has at all times complied in all respects with the Copyright Act
Facsimile: (310) 394-4477

9 of 1976 and all other laws of the United States with regard to Plaintiff’s Works.
10 54. Defendants have had knowledge of, and access to, AICO’s
11 copyrighted works by virtue of the 2011 and 2013 Settlement Agreements, the
CISLO & THOMAS LLP

12 Second Action, and also AICO’s extensive advertising and displaying of its

14 55. Defendants’ Accused Products infringe AICO’s rights in The Works in


Telephone: (310) 451-0647

15 violation of AICO’s exclusive rights under the Copyright Act of 1976, 17 U.S.C. §
16 106.
17 56. Defendants’ offering for sale and/or sales of substantially similar
18 and/or identical copies of The Works, including Kumar’s purposeful direction,
19 control, and/or ratification thereof, constitute copyright infringement in violation of
20 AICO’s exclusive rights under the Copyright Act of 1976, 17 U.S.C. § 101 et seq.
21 57. By reason of Defendants’ acts of copyright infringement, AICO is
22 entitled to recover all profits received or otherwise achieved, directly or indirectly,
23 by Defendants in connection with their infringements. Or, in the alternative,
24 Plaintiff is entitled to an award of statutory damages as provided for in 17 U.S.C. §
25 504(c). Because of Defendants’ knowing and intentional offering for sale and/or
26 sales of the Accused Products, including Kumar’s purposeful direction, control,
27 and/or ratification thereof, among other matters set forth herein, which demonstrate
28 that Defendants’ infringements are willful and intentional, enhanced damages are

10
Case 2:18-cv-06343 Document 1 Filed 07/23/18 Page 11 of 17 Page ID #:11

1 warranted under the Copyright Act.


2 58. By reason of Defendants’ acts of copyright infringement, AICO has
3 suffered and will continue to suffer irreparable injury unless and until this Court:
4 (1) enters an order enjoining and restraining Defendants from using the works in
5 any manner, and (2) orders all the copied works to be impounded.
6 59. Defendants’ continuing acts of copyright infringement, unless
7 enjoined, will cause and have caused irreparable damage to AICO in that it will
8 have no adequate remedy at law to compel Defendant to cease such acts. AICO
Facsimile: (310) 394-4477

9 will be compelled to prosecute a multiplicity of actions, one action each time


10 Defendants commit such acts, and in each such action it will be extremely difficult
11 to ascertain the amount of compensation which will afford AICO adequate relief.

Telephone: (310) 451-0647

15 60. Plaintiff hereby repeats and incorporates herein the allegations set
16 forth in paragraphs 1 through 59 above.
17 61. AICO’s ‘893, ‘852, and ‘409 Patents (see, Exhibits 8-10 attached
18 hereto) have at all relevant times subsequent to their issue dates been fully
19 enforceable and are now fully enforceable.
20 62. Subsequent to the issuance of the ‘893, ‘852, and ‘409 Patents,
21 Defendants have infringed the patents by importing, offering to sell, and/or selling,
22 and continuing to import, offer to sell, and/or sell products that come within the
23 scope of the claims of the patents, and that come within a range of equivalents of
24 the claims of the patents, and/or contributing to the infringement activities of
25 others.
26 63. The using, importing, offering to sell, and/or selling of infringing
27 products by Defendants, and/or contributing to the infringement activities of others,
28 has been without authority or license from AICO and in violation of AICO’s rights,

11

1 thereby infringing the ‘893, ‘852, and ‘409 Patents.


2 64. Defendants’ infringement of AICO’s ‘‘893, ‘852, and ‘409 Patents has
3 been willful, with knowledge, and in blatant disregard for the exclusive rights of
4 AICO set forth in its patents set forth herein.
5 65. AICO is entitled to a complete accounting of all revenue derived by
6 Defendant from the unlawful conduct alleged herein pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 289.
7 66. The harm to AICO arising from Defendants’ acts of infringement of
8 AICO’s ‘893, ‘852, and ‘409 Patents is not fully compensable by money damages.
Facsimile: (310) 394-4477

16 COUNT III – BREACH OF SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT
17 68. Plaintiff hereby repeats and incorporates herein the allegations set
18 forth in paragraphs 1 through 67 above.
19 69. Cosmos U.S. and Cosmos Canada are believed to be owned,
20 controlled, and operated by Kumar for his own personal benefit and gain, in
21 disregard of corporate formalities. This fact, in addition to the fact that, each of the
22 three settlement agreements referenced herein released Cosmos Canada, as well as
23 its affiliates, agents, representatives, employees, officers, directors, spouses, heirs,
24 administrators, executors or assigns, among others, indicates that Cosmos U.S. and
25 Kumar are parties to these agreements, or are foreseeable, intended beneficiaries of
26 these agreements and are effectively parties to these agreements.
27 70. AICO and Defendants entered into a settlement agreement in June of

remove them, which was in July of 2009. Thus, the accused products were on Cosmos’ website
for fourteen (14) days, warranting a charge of $14,000.00.

WHEREAS, in Cosmos’ print catalog for 2011, the Patricia dining room collection is
depicted.

WHEREAS, in correspondence dated February 22, 2011 and March 7, 2011, counsel for
AICO notified Cosmos of the aforementioned violations of the prior settlement agreement and
AICO’s intellectual property rights set forth in Table 1.

WHEREAS, in lieu of incurring substantial expenses in litigation, AICO and Cosmos


now desire to amicably settle and resolve all their differences.

WHEREAS, as a representation material to AICO’s assent to this Agreement, Cosmos


represents and warrants that it has no inventory of, no expected deliveries from or through its
supplier(s) of, or any open orders for, its (1) Jennifer bedroom collection; (2) Perry Ellis
bedroom collection; (3) Edison dining room collection; (4) Emily dining room collection; (5) its
Celina bedroom collection (which is identical to the Camila bedroom collection from the prior
activities of Cosmos in 2009 with respect to The Litigation); (6) Evelin dining room collection;
(7) Patricia bedroom collection; and, (8) Mirage dining room collection.

NOW THEREFORE, in view of the mutual promises contained herein and other good
and valuable consideration, the parties hereby agree as follows:

1. Cosmos agrees to immediately cease all use, manufacture, importing, distribution,


marketing, advertising, publicly displaying, internet displaying, trade show displaying, offers to
sell, and/or sales anywhere in the world of any and all products within the scope of and/or
substantially similar in appearance to the items shown in, U.S. Copyright Registrations and U.S.
Design Patents set forth in Table 1, including Cosmos’ (1) Jennifer bedroom collection; (2) Perry
Ellis bedroom collection; (3) Edison dining room collection; (4) Emily dining room collection;
(5) its Celina bedroom collection (which is identical to the Camila bedroom collection from the
prior activities of Cosmos in 2009 with respect to The Litigation); (6) Evelin dining room
collection; (7) Patricia bedroom collection; and, (8) Mirage dining room collection. Should
AICO learn that Cosmos’ had inventory of its (1) Jennifer bedroom collection; (2) Perry Ellis
bedroom collection; (3) Edison dining room collection; (4) Emily dining room collection; (5) its
Celina bedroom collection (which is identical to the Camila bedroom collection from the prior
activities of Cosmos in 2009 with respect to The Litigation); (6) Evelin dining room collection;
(7) Patricia bedroom collection; and, (8) Mirage dining room collection, AICO shall be entitled
to collect a 10% royalty on the sales price of all inventory sold by Cosmos after the date Cosmos
signs this Agreement. AICO shall be further entitled to audit Cosmos’ books within one year of
the date Cosmos executes this Agreement.

2. Cosmos agrees to remove, and keep removed, all photographs and/or references to its (1)
Jennifer bedroom collection; (2) Perry Ellis bedroom collection; (3) Edison dining room
collection; (4) Emily dining room collection; (5) its Celina bedroom collection (which is
identical to the Camila bedroom collection from the prior activities of Cosmos in 2009 with
respect to The Litigation); (6) Evelin dining room collection; (7) Patricia bedroom collection;
and, (8) Mirage dining room collection from its Internet website(s) within three (3) days of
Cosmos’ execution of this Agreement. Cosmos’ failure to do so will result in a $1,000.00 charge
per day for any day beyond the deadline for removing said photographs and/or references from
Cosmos’ website(s) such photographs and/or references exist.

3. Cosmos shall notify in writing known recipients of its 2011 catalog depicting the Patricia
dining room collection, and inform them that the Patricia dining room is no longer available.

4
Case 2:18-cv-06343 Document 1-1 Filed 07/23/18 Page 13 of 90 Page ID #:30

4. Concurrent with its signing of this Agreement, Cosmos shall provide by overnight mail a
check to AICO’s counsel (Cislo & Thomas LLP, 1333 2nd Street, Suite 500, Santa Monica,
California 94101 USA) in the amount of $10,000.00 (US) made out and payable to “Amini
Innovation Corporation.” Upon receipt and clearance of this check for $10,000.00, counsel for
AICO will return to Cosmos a fully executed copy of this Agreement. By June 28, 2011,
Cosmos shall provide by overnight mail a check to AICO’s counsel (Cislo & Thomas LLP, 1333
2nd Street, Suite 500, Santa Monica, California 94101 USA) in the amount of $4,000.00 (US)
made out and payable to “Amini Innovation Corporation.” Otherwise, each party is responsible
for its own attorneys’ fees and costs incurred as a result of this matter. In exchange, AICO will
not initiate new litigation against Cosmos in Los Angeles County, California, as it is entitled to
do under the prior settlement agreement and based on Cosmos’s accused conduct herein.

5. From the date of this Agreement forward, Cosmos agrees to exercise due diligence in the
future to make sure it avoids AICO’s proprietary designs. Cosmos shall do this, in part, by
considering AICO’s website (www.amini.com) before deciding to offer a line of furniture for
sale. If any questions arise regarding such matters, counsel for AICO may be contacted for
inquiry prior to Cosmos’ offering a line of furniture for sale that may infringe AICO’s
proprietary designs.

6. Cosmos agrees to notify counsel for AICO of any person or entity Cosmos believes may
be offering for sale copies or knockoffs of AICO’s furniture. Cosmos is not obligated to make
itself familiar with AICO’s furniture; but, to the extent it is familiar with AICO’s furniture, it
shall notify AICO of any potential infringers occurring anywhere in the world.

7. Except for the obligations imposed by this Agreement, the parties hereby release forever
and discharge each other, as well as each other’s respective affiliates, agents, representatives,
employees, officers, directors, spouses, heirs, administrators, executors or assigns, any person,
entity or association claiming by, through or under them of any of the foregoing from any and all
presently known claims, demands, liability, damages, costs and causes of action of every kind
with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement up to the effective day of this Agreement,
and subject to the terms of this Agreement.

8. This Agreement constitutes the complete understanding between the parties, and
supersedes all prior agreements or understandings, whether written or oral, except that this

5
Case 2:18-cv-06343 Document 1-1 Filed 07/23/18 Page 14 of 90 Page ID #:31

Agreement shall incorporate the terms of the June 2009 settlement agreement to the extent they
are different than, and do not conflict with, the terms herein. This Agreement shall not be
modified or amended except in writing and signed by the parties hereto. Any modification or
amendment must specifically reference this Agreement.

9. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and
their successors, assigns and related companies. If any provision of this Agreement is adjudged
to be invalid or unenforceable, the validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions of this
Agreement shall not be affected.

10. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be considered an
original, and both of which, taken together, shall constitute one agreement.

11. In the event that the document is signed by one party and faxed to another, the parties
agree that a faxed signature shall be binding upon the parties to this Agreement as though the
signature was an original. If the parties exchange signatures through PDF documents, such
signature pages shall also be binding upon the parties to this Agreement as though the signature
was an original.

12. If any term, clause or provision hereof is held invalid or unenforceable by a court of
competent jurisdiction, such invalidity shall not affect the validity or operation of any other term,
clause or provision and such invalid term, clause or provision shall be deemed to be severed
from the Agreement.

13. Any violations of this Agreement shall be enforced in the courts in Los Angeles County,
California, and Cosmos specifically consents to personal jurisdiction and proper venue in the
courts in Los Angeles County, California. The prevailing party in any such enforcement action
shall be entitled to recover its reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of suit.
