(d) In addition to the foregoing, Mobileye agrees that, in all circumstances, it shall use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate and otherwise minimize damages to the Mobileye Entities, individually and collectively, whether direct or indirect, due to, resulting from or arising in connection with any failure by Intel to comply fully with Intel’s obligations under this Agreement.

Section 8.08 Dispute Resolution.
(a) Pre-Arbitration Resolution. Except as provided in Section 8.08(c)(ii), any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement will be resolved as follows: a Party will send notice of the dispute, including a detailed description of the dispute and relevant supporting documents. Senior management for each Party will then try to resolve the dispute. From and after the Offering Date, if the Parties do not resolve the dispute within 30 calendar days after the dispute notice, either Party may send notice of a demand for mediation and the Parties will then try to resolve the dispute with a mediator.
(b) Arbitration. From and after the Offering Date, if the Parties do not resolve a dispute within 60 calendar days after the mediation demand relating to such dispute, either Party may send notice of the specific issues to be arbitrated and initiate arbitration by filing a Demand for Arbitration with the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”). Except as provided in Section 8.08(c)(ii), a Party may not seek relief in court. The Commercial Arbitration Rules of the AAA in effect on the date a Party files a Demand for Arbitration (the “AAA Rules”) will apply, except as follows:
(i) Seat and Law. Wilmington, Delaware, will be the seat of arbitration and the location of the proceedings, which will be conducted in English. Wilmington, Delaware, and United States law will be the law of the arbitration agreement (i.e., Section 8.08 (Dispute Resolution)).
(ii) Limitations on Relief. Notwithstanding R-47 (Scope of Award), the arbitrator may not award (A) any remedy that prohibits a party or its customers from manufacturing, using, selling, or importing that party’s products, (B) any non-monetary relief for misappropriation of trade secrets or breach of confidentiality obligations, or (C) any remedy that requires a party to license any intellectual property rights. Neither the arbitrator nor an emergency arbitrator (as described in R-38 of the AAA Rules) may order conservatory, interim, or emergency measures. R-37 (Interim Measures) and R-38 (Emergency Measures of Protection) will not apply.
(iii) Service. R-43 (Service of Notice and Communications) will not apply with regard to service of a Demand for Arbitration, which must be served in the same manner as is required to serve a summons and complaint under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.
(c) Claims Not Subject to Arbitration. The following disputes will not be subject to arbitration under Section 8.08(b):
(i) From and after the Offering Date, the state and federal courts sitting in Wilmington, Delaware, will have exclusive jurisdiction over claims seeking to: (A) prohibit a party or its customers from manufacturing, using, selling, or importing that party’s products; and (B) require a party to license any intellectual property rights. The parties consent to personal jurisdiction and venue in those courts.
(ii) From and after the Offering Date, the claims for misappropriation of trade secrets and breach of confidentiality obligations seeking injunctive or other non-monetary relief will not be subject to arbitration or escalation (as set forth in Sections 8.08(a) and 8.08(b)) and may be brought in any court that has jurisdiction over the Parties.
14
(d) Suspension. During the pendency of the dispute resolution processes described in Sections 8.08(a) through (c) (as applicable), Intel will be entitled to suspend performance under this Agreement if and only if Mobileye fails to make timely payment of all amounts due for Services delivered hereunder; provided that Intel will not be permitted to suspend its performance if such failure is cured within thirty (30) days after Mobileye is notified of such failure to pay and a failure to pay (even if cured) does not occur more than three (3) times during any one (1)-year period of the term of this Agreement.
Section 8.09 Governing Law. Delaware and United States law governs this Agreement and any dispute arising out of or relating to it without regard to conflict of laws principles. The Parties exclude the application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (1980).
Section 8.10 Severability. If any terms or other provisions of this Agreement or the Schedules hereto shall be determined by a court, administrative agency or arbitrator to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not render the entire Agreement invalid. Rather, this Agreement shall be construed as if not containing the particular invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision, and all other provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to either Party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that the transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law.
Section 8.11 No Third-Party Beneficiary. Except as expressly set forth herein with respect to Affiliates of the Parties or with respect to Section 4.04, none of the provisions of this Agreement shall be for the benefit of or enforceable by any third party, including any creditor of any Person and no such third party shall obtain any right under any provision of this Agreement or shall by reasons of any such provision make any claim in respect of any Liability (or otherwise) against either Party hereto.
Section 8.12 Amendment. This Agreement may only be amended by a written agreement executed by both Parties hereto.
Section 8.13 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, and by any of the Parties in separate counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by facsimile or by .pdf, .tif, .gif or similar attachment to electronic mail shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.
Section 8.14 Authority. Each of the Parties represents to the other Party that (a) it has the corporate or other requisite power and authority to execute, deliver and perform this Agreement, (b) the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by it have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or other actions, (c) it has duly and validly executed and delivered this Agreement, and (d) this Agreement is its legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and general equity principles.
