This action to compel arbitration is before me on cross motions for partial summary judgment and various motions for orders either enforcing or restraining arbitration.
Plaintiff Stendig International, Inc. markets furniture throughout the United States. Until recently, 30% of its business was the distribution of furniture made by defendant B & B Italia, S.p.A., an Italian multinational, for which it held an exclusive United States distributorship. Defendant recently declined to renew that distributorship.
Plaintiff does not now contend that the non-renewal of its distributorship was improper under the distribution agreements between the parties. However, plaintiff does claim that under a non-competition clause embodied in a stockholders agreement between Stendig, its 70% shareholder and president, and B & B, which owns the remaining 30% of Stendig, it is entitled to entirely restrain defendant from distributing in the United States, unless plaintiff is the distributor. Defendant claims that the agreement, which appears to prevent defendant from entering the United States *28market until the year 2050, violates federal antitrust law. This claim is not substantively before me.
Rather, plaintiff, perceiving defendant’s announced intention to begin distributing its furniture in the U.S. as a breach of the stockholders’ agreement, now moves to compel arbitration under the broad arbitration clause therein and for a preliminary injunction restraining defendant from competing pending arbitration. Defendant claims that arbitration would be inappropriate since important questions of antitrust law are necessarily involved and by cross motion seeks to enjoin the arbitration. Secondarily, therefore, plaintiff requests that if I deny arbitration, I also enjoin another arbitration pending between the parties until after the resolution of this action.
The law in the Second Circuit is that the right to a judicial determination of antitrust claims may not be waived contractually, and arbitration clauses purporting to require arbitration of anti-trust claims are not enforceable. American Safety v. J.P. Maguire, 391 F.2d 821 (2d Cir.1968). The recent Supreme Court case of Mitsubishi v. Solar, — U.S. —, 105 S.Ct. 3346, 87 L.Ed.2d 444 (1985), although not directly on point1, questions the Second Circuit reasoning in American Safety. However, it does not overrule it; American Safety is therefore binding on this court.
The only question then, is whether a litigable antitrust claim is pled here.2 Without expressing any judgment as to the merits, total exclusion of defendant and defendant’s products from the entire United States until 2050 clearly raises such a claim. See e.g. Continental T.V., Inc. v. GTE Sylvania Inc., 433 U.S. 36, 97 S.Ct. 2549, 53 L.Ed.2d 568 (1977); Polk Bros. v. Forest City Enterprises Inc., 776 F.2d 185 (7th Cir.1985). Under American Safety, then, the arbitration clause is invalid.
Accordingly, defendant’s motion to enjoin arbitration is granted, and plaintiff’s motions to stay pending arbitration and for a preliminary injunction pending arbitration are denied as moot.3 No reason ap*29pearing to stay the arbitration of stock valuation, that motion is denied. All relief requested in the complaint having been denied, the action is dismissed, without prejudice to repleading within 60 days.
So ordered.
