ATTORNEYS FEES: If any party hereunder brings an action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, whether founded in tort, contract or equity, or to declare rights hereunder, the Prevailing Party (as hereafter defined) in any such proceeding, action or appeal thereon, shall be entitled to reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal costs.  Such fees may be awarded in the same suit or recovered in a separate suit, whether or not such action or proceeding is pursued to decision or judgment.  The term “Prevailing Party” shall include, without limitation, a party who substantially obtains or defeats the relief sought, as the case may be, whether by compromise, settlement, judgment, arbitration award or the abandonment by the other party of its claim or defense.  The attorneys’ fees award shall not be computed in accordance with any court fee schedule but shall be such as to fully reimburse all attorneys’ fees reasonably incurred.
