Section 5.9 Resolution of Disputes. All disputes arising out of or relating to this
Agreement or the breach, termination or validity thereof or the parties’ performance hereunder
(“Dispute”) shall be resolved as provided by this Section 5.9.
(a) Negotiation of Disputes.
(i) Any party shall give the other party written notice of any Dispute. The parties shall
attempt to resolve such Dispute promptly by negotiation between executive officers (or the
equivalent) who have authority to settle the Dispute and who are at a higher level of management
than the persons with direct responsibilities for administration of this Agreement.
(ii) Within 15 days after delivery of the notice, the party receiving the notice shall submit
to the other a written response. The notice and the response shall include: (A) a statement of
each party’s position and a summary of arguments supporting that position and (B) the name and
title of the executive officer (or the equivalent) who will represent that party and of any other
person who will accompany the executive officer (or the equivalent) during the negotiations.
Within 30 days after delivery of the disputing party’s notice, the executive officers (or the
equivalent) of both parties shall meet at a mutually acceptable time and place, and thereafter as
often as they reasonably deem necessary, to attempt to resolve the Dispute.
(b) Arbitration.
(i) If the Dispute has not been resolved by negotiation between the executive officers (or the
equivalent) within 45 days of the disputing party’s notice requesting negotiation, or if the
parties fail to meet within 30 days from delivery of said notice, such Dispute shall on the demand
of any party, be finally settled under the Rules of Arbitration of the Center for Public Resources
(“CPR”) then in effect, except as modified herein or by mutual agreement of the parties.
(ii) The arbitration shall be held in New York, New York. The arbitration proceedings shall
be conducted, and the award shall be rendered, in the English language.
(iii) There shall be three arbitrators selected pursuant to the CPR rules from the CPR
national and regional panels. All arbitrators shall be neutral, disinterested, independent and
impartial.
(iv) In rendering an award, the arbitral tribunal shall be required to follow the substantive
law of the jurisdiction designated by the parties herein. This arbitration agreement and any award
rendered thereunder shall be governed by the United Nations Convention on the Recognition and
Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards, 1958, and the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 USC (Section) 1 et
seq. The arbitral tribunal shall not be empowered to award damages in excess of compensatory
damages except in the case of fraud, and each party hereby irrevocably waives any right to recover
punitive, exemplary or similar damages with respect to any dispute except in the case of fraud.
(v) The award shall be final and binding upon the parties and shall be the sole and exclusive
remedy between the parties with regard to any claim or counterclaim submitted to the arbitral
tribunal. Judgment upon any award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.
(vi) By agreeing to arbitration, the parties do not intend to deprive any court of its
jurisdiction to issue a pre-arbitral injunction, pre-arbitral attachment or other order in aid of
arbitration proceedings and the enforcement of any award. Without prejudice to such provisional
remedies as may be available under the jurisdiction of a national court, the arbitral tribunal
shall have full authority to grant provisional remedies or to order the parties to request that a
court modify or vacate any temporary or
- 6 -
preliminary relief issued by a such court, and to award damages for the failure of any party
to respect the arbitral tribunal’s orders to that effect. The parties hereby unconditionally and
irrevocably submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the state or federal courts located in New
York, New York for the purpose of any preliminary relief in aid of arbitration, or for enforcement
of any award, and hereby waive any objection to such jurisdiction including without limitation
objections by reason of lack of personal jurisdiction, improper venue, or inconvenient forum.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Dispute regarding the following is not required to be
negotiated or arbitrated prior to seeking relief from a court of competent jurisdiction: breach of
any obligation of confidentiality, infringement, misappropriation or misuse of any intellectual
property right. The parties acknowledge that their remedies at law for such a breach or threatened
breach would be inadequate and, in recognition of this fact, upon such breach or threatened breach,
either party, without posting any bond, and in addition to all other remedies which may be
available, shall be entitled to immediately seek or obtain equitable relief in the form of specific
performance, a temporary restraining order, a temporary or permanent injunction or any other
equitable remedy which may then be available.
Section 5.10 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY
WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS
AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

the written consent of the other party and the Company. No such assignment shall relieve either
party of any of its rights and obligations hereunder.
Section 5.12 Binding Nature. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to
the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.
Section 5.13 Severability. This Agreement shall be deemed severable; the invalidity
or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or
enforceability of this Agreement or of any other term hereof, which shall remain in full force and
effect, for so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. If it is ever held that
any restriction hereunder is too broad to permit enforcement of such restriction to its fullest
extent, each party agrees that such restriction may be enforced to the maximum extent permitted by
law, and each party hereby consents and agrees that such scope may be judicially modified
accordingly in any proceeding brought to enforce such restriction.
Section 5.14 No Right of Setoff. Neither party hereto nor any affiliate thereof may
deduct from, set off, holdback or otherwise reduce in any manner whatsoever against any amounts
such Person may owe to the other party hereto or any of it affiliates any amounts owed by such
other party or its affiliates to the first party or its affiliates.
Section 5.15 Specific Performance. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage

hereof, in addition to any other remedy at law or equity.
