(iii)upon receiving final offers from both Parties, the expert must:
(A)simultaneous provide to each Party one sealed copy of the other Party’s proposal, which the other Party may open but not disclose to the expert;
(B)retain the other sealed proposal from each Party in an unopened form putting in place reasonable measures to prevent the inadvertent discovery or disclosure of either Party’s final offer until the time referred to in subparagraph (d)(vi)(A) below;
(iv)the Parties will be entitled to a period of up to 3 Business Days after the exchange of their respective proposals in order to reach agreement and resolve the relevant matter prior to the expert making a determination;
(v)unless both Parties agree, neither Party shall be entitled to amend its final offer provided in the sealed proposal under subparagraph (d)(i) above. If the Parties agree to amend their respective final offers, the amendment must be prepared and submitted in the same manner as described in subparagraphs (d)(i) and (d)(ii) above;
(vi)if the matter remains unresolved 30 Business Days after the date of the expert’s appointment, the expert must:
(A)open the other sealed proposal from each Party containing its final offer; and
(B)select either one of the final offers provided by the Parties as being the compensation it considers to be the nearest to the most reasonable level of compensation that:
(1)a person in the same or similar position to Heliogen would pay to a person in the same or similar position to Woodside; and
(2)is reasonable having regard to the costs incurred or to be incurred by each of Woodside and Heliogen in connection with the marketing of the Product Offering and the negotiation and closing of Potential Transactions, the consideration being received by Heliogen in connection with Potential Transactions, and other matters that the expert considers are relevant in the circumstances.
The expert shall have no power or discretion to unilaterally develop or consider any other alternative amount as compensation;
