a..This Agreement, including any non-contractual obligations arising out of or in connection with this Agreement and any and all other agreements and instruments executed and other documents delivered pursuant hereto, are governed by and shall be construed in accordance with English law.

b..The Parties agree that any claim, dispute or difference of whatever nature arising under, out of or in connection with this Agreement (including a claim, dispute or difference regarding its existence, termination or validity or any non-contractual obligations arising out of or in connection with this Agreement) (a “Dispute”), shall be referred to and finally settled by arbitration in accordance with the Arbitration Rules (the “Rules”) of the International Chamber of Commerce (“ICC”) as in force at the date of this Agreement and as modified by this Clause, which Rules shall be deemed incorporated into this Clause. The arbitral tribunal shall consist of three arbitrators. Within thirty (30) Days of the written request for arbitration, the claimant shall nominate one arbitrator and the respondent shall nominate the second arbitrator. The third arbitrator (who, subject to confirmation by the ICC Court, shall act as President of the arbitral tribunal) shall be appointed by the arbitrators nominated by

the claimant and respondent or, in the absence of agreement on the third arbitrator within fifteen (15) days of the nomination of the second arbitrator, by the ICC Court in accordance with the ICC Rules. If claimant and/or respondent fail to nominate an arbitrator, an arbitrator shall be appointed on their behalf by the ICC Court in accordance with the ICC Rules. In such circumstances, any existing nomination or confirmation of an arbitrator shall be unaffected, and the remaining arbitrator(s) shall be appointed in accordance with this Clause ‎34.2. If an arbitrator fails or is unable to act, his successor will be appointed in the same manner as the arbitrator whom he succeeds. The decision of a majority of the arbitrators shall be final and binding upon the Parties. Each arbitrator shall remain impartial and independent of the Parties involved in the arbitration. The seat of arbitration shall be London, England and the language of arbitration shall be English. Sections 45 and 69 of the Arbitration Act 1996 shall not apply. Notwithstanding any inconsistencies with the Rules, a Request for Arbitration must be served on all other Parties to the dispute in accordance with Clause ‎24 (Notices) of this Agreement.

c..In order to facilitate the comprehensive resolution of related disputes, all claims between the Parties that arise out of or in connection with this Agreement, any other Transaction Document or other instrument executed pursuant to this Agreement, or any of the Assets Documents may be brought in a single arbitration. Upon the request of any Party to an arbitration commenced pursuant to Clause ‎34.2 (an “Arbitration”), the arbitral tribunal shall consolidate the Arbitration with any other arbitration proceeding relating to this Agreement, any other Transaction Document or other instrument executed pursuant to this Agreement, or to any of the Assets Documents, and in respect of which the arbitral tribunal was constituted after the constitution of the arbitral tribunal in the Arbitration, if either:

187.all parties concerned agree; or

188.the arbitral tribunal determines that there are issues of fact or law common to the two proceedings so that a consolidated proceeding would be more efficient than separate proceedings; and no party would be prejudiced as a result of such consolidation through undue delay or otherwise.

In the event of an order for consolidation, (i) where the parties in the two proceedings are identical, the tribunal constituted first in time shall serve as the arbitral tribunal for the consolidated arbitration and (ii) where the parties in the two proceedings are not identical, a new arbitral tribunal for the consolidated arbitration shall be constituted in accordance with the provisions of Clause ‎34.2. Where a new tribunal is so constituted, for the avoidance of doubt, any rulings, directions or orders made by the arbitral tribunal constituted first in time, with the exception of outstanding orders for costs, will be of no effect. For the purpose of the constitution of the arbitral tribunal under this provision, and without prejudice to any party’s rights under applicable limitation periods, the consolidated arbitration will be considered to have been commenced on the date of receipt by all the parties of the order for consolidation.

d..The Parties agree that before the constitution of the arbitral tribunal, any party to an Arbitration may effect joinder by serving notice on any party to this Agreement, the Transaction Documents or any instrument executed pursuant to this Agreement, or any one of the Assets Documents whom it seeks to join, provided that such notice is also sent to all other parties to the Arbitration within 30 days of service of the request for Arbitration. The

joined party will become a claimant or respondent party (as appropriate) in the Arbitration and participate in the arbitrator appointment process in Clause ‎34.2.

e..The Parties waive any claim to any damages in the nature of punitive, exemplary or statutory damages in excess of compensatory damages, and the tribunal is specifically divested of any power to award such damages.

f..The award of the tribunal shall be final and binding on the Parties (i.e. not subject to appeal), and the Parties agree that an arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The tribunal shall have the right and authority to grant injunctive, declaratory and other equitable relief.

g..No arbitrator shall be a present employee or agent of, or consultant or counsel to, either Party or any Affiliate of either Party or a national of a state with which the domicile of any Party does not maintain diplomatic relations.

h..The arbitration shall be conducted in the English language and all documents submitted in connection with such proceeding shall be in the English language or, if in another language, accompanied by a certified English translation.

i..The parties to the arbitration shall each pay an equal amount of any advance on costs if in accordance with the ICC Rules.
