[ * ] = CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT, MARKET BY BRACKETS, HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO RULE 406 OF THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED.
acknowledges that its appointment with respect to the Fibromyalgia Indication is contingent upon (i) UCB providing the Fibromyalgia Notice to Jazz Pharmaceuticals no later than the earlier of (A) the later of thirty (30) days after (x) the Execution Date and (y) receipt by UCB of a Final Advice Letter or (B) September 15, 2006 and (ii) making the milestone payment to Jazz Pharmaceuticals set forth in Section 4.1(h) below. Notwithstanding the foregoing, UCB shall only distribute, sell, market or otherwise commercialize Product in Mexico provided that the price of that Product shall be [ * ] of the [ * ] Product price in the USA. Furthermore, Jazz Pharmaceuticals hereby agrees to negotiate with UCB on an exclusive basis and in good faith [ * ] an amendment to this Agreement that would contain appropriate commercial terms upon which UCB shall be appointed the exclusive licensee and distributor of Product in Canada. Upon any such agreement being reached, Canada shall thereafter form part of the Territory; provided, however, that if the parties fail to reach such an agreement within the period set forth above, Jazz Pharmaceuticals shall be free to enter into an agreement with a Third Party with respect to the Product in Canada. During the Term of this Agreement, UCB shall purchase all of its requirements of the Product from Jazz Pharmaceuticals as the sole supplier subject to the following:
(a) UCB Manufacturing. Jazz Pharmaceuticals agrees to discuss with UCB the feasibility and commercial viability of transferring the manufacture of the Product to UCB’s FDA approved facilities or qualifying and registering UCB as a back-up manufacturer for the Product for the Territory and/or for the rest of the world. Notwithstanding the foregoing, once aggregate Net Sales of the Product sold by or on behalf of UCB in the Territory have [ * ] then UCB shall have the option to notify Jazz Pharmaceuticals that it intends to transfer Product manufacturing to the facilities of UCB and/or its nominated Third Party no earlier than [ * ] from the date of UCB’s initial notice to Jazz Pharmaceuticals. Following the exercise of UCB’s option by notice in writing, Jazz Pharmaceuticals shall use its commercially reasonable efforts, at [ * ] expense for all [ * ], to provide UCB with such assistance as is reasonable to take over manufacture or to obtain and qualify a Third Party manufacturer, including without limitation, giving effect to the licensing of its Manufacturing Know-How to UCB and/or such Third Party manufacturer (as the granting of such manufacturing license rights is thereby contemplated under Section 2.2) for the purposes of manufacturing API and/or Product. Jazz Pharmaceuticals will make available to UCB and/or its nominated Third Party, on a confidential basis and for use only to make the Product, such Manufacturing Know-How of Jazz Pharmaceuticals as may be reasonably necessary to make the Product. Such Manufacturing Know-How will not be used by UCB and/or its nominated Third Party for any other purpose or provided to any other Third Party without the prior written consent of Jazz Pharmaceuticals. Jazz Pharmaceuticals will work with UCB and/or its nominated Third Party to execute all documents and to take all action reasonably requested by Jazz Pharmaceuticals to preserve the confidentiality of such Manufacturing Know-How and Jazz Pharmaceuticals’ intellectual property rights therein. UCB and/or its nominated Third Party will also use commercially reasonable efforts (including allowing Jazz Pharmaceuticals to negotiate an agreement not inconsistent with this Agreement regarding the
9
[ * ] = CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT, MARKET BY BRACKETS, HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO RULE 406 OF THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED.
transfer of the Manufacturing Know-How directly with UCB’s nominated Third Party concurrent with the time in which UCB is negotiating it supply agreement with such Third Party), to facilitate an agreement between Jazz Pharmaceuticals and such Third Party covering any improvements to the manufacturing process, so that Jazz Pharmaceuticals either owns such improvements, or has a worldwide, paid up, irrevocable, nonexclusive license, with the right to grant sublicenses, to such improvements to make, use, sell, offer to sell and import the Product. For the sake of clarity, UCB shall be free to enter into any agreement with a Third Party for the manufacture of the Product provided that such agreement provides, in Jazz Pharmaceuticals’ reasonable opinion, appropriate safeguards for the protection of the Licensed Intellectual Property and Jazz Pharmaceuticals’ Confidential Information and UCB has agreed to the terms and conditions required by Section 2.1(c) below. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any agreement between UCB and its nominated Third Party will restrict such Third Party’s use of Jazz Pharmaceuticals’ Manufacturing Know-How and Confidential Information solely to the manufacture of the Product only.
(b) UCB/ Third Party Manufacturing in the Event of Default. If at any time after December 31, 2007, (i) more than [ * ] percent ([ * ]%) of the aggregate Product supplied to UCB by Jazz Pharmaceuticals in any subsequent Contract Year is found, pursuant to Section 7.12, to have failed to conform to the Product Specifications and/or the relevant purchase order(s); or (ii) Jazz Pharmaceuticals is unable to manufacture or supply the quantity of Product ordered by UCB in accordance with this Agreement for any reason whatsoever, including, without limitation, by reason of an event described in Section 16.1 (Events of Force Majeure); then UCB shall have the right at its sole election to (A) take over the manufacture of the Product or appoint a Third Party manufacturer to fulfill Jazz Pharmaceuticals’ manufacturing and supply obligations under this Agreement thereafter through the remaining Term of this Agreement and/or (B) purchase the API from Jazz Pharmaceuticals and itself convert, or appoint a Third Party manufacturer to convert, the API into Product through the Term of the Agreement; provided, however, that in the case of Section 2.1(b)(ii), such right shall be exercisable only if (1) Jazz Pharmaceuticals’ inability to manufacture or supply the Product could reasonably be expected to result in a period of time of at least [ * ] during which less than [ * ] percent ([ * ]%) of Product ordered pursuant to UCB’s last firm purchase order would be available to UCB for commercial sale, (2) UCB provides reasonable evidence of its ability to procure a Third Party manufacturer or take over the manufacture of the Product or the API more rapidly than Jazz Pharmaceuticals could restart production and supply of Product, and (3) Jazz Pharmaceuticals’ inability to manufacture or supply Product did not result, wholly or in part, from a breach by UCB of its obligations hereunder. Jazz Pharmaceuticals shall, at [ * ] expense for all [ * ], provide UCB with all reasonable assistance as is necessary to take over or obtain and qualify a Third Party manufacturer, including without limitation, giving effect to the licensing of its Manufacturing Know-How to UCB and/or such Third Party manufacturer (as the granting of such manufacturing license rights is thereby contemplated under Section 2.2) solely for the purpose of manufacturing API and/or Product pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

[ * ] = CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT, MARKET BY BRACKETS, HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO RULE 406 OF THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED.
(c) Price for Manufacturing Changes. In the event that UCB shall manufacture Product or API or cause Product or API to be manufactured pursuant to this Agreement, UCB agrees to pay Jazz Pharmaceuticals the following manufacturing royalties in accordance with Section 4.5 below:
(i) [ * ]% of Net Sales where UCB manufactures or has manufactured API; and
(ii) [ * ]% of Net Sales where UCB manufactures or has manufactured the Product (other than the API).
Any other related terms shall be negotiated in good faith by UCB and Jazz Pharmaceuticals. For the avoidance of doubt, the [ * ] royalty of [ * ]% of Net Sales under this Section 2.1(c) shall be payable by UCB to Jazz Pharmaceuticals only where UCB manufactures or has manufactured both the API and the Product.
(d) Component Sourcing. UCB shall be permitted at any time during the Term on sixty (60) days prior written notice to Jazz Pharmaceuticals to cease purchasing some or all Components from Jazz Pharmaceuticals and purchase some or all of the Components directly from Jazz Pharmaceuticals’ suppliers or qualify another Third Party(ies) to supply Components; provided that, subject to Sections 7.6 and 7.12, UCB must purchase all Components delivered by Jazz Pharmaceuticals pursuant to a firm order regardless of whether such delivery is made after UCB delivers notice to Jazz Pharmaceuticals of its intent to purchase the Components from Jazz Pharmaceuticals’ suppliers or another Third Party(ies). UCB shall bear any and all costs associated with qualifying any Third Party(ies) to supply Components pursuant to this Section 2.1(c); provided that if Jazz Pharmaceuticals desires to purchase the same Components from such Third Party(ies) as UCB is purchasing, then Jazz Pharmaceuticals and UCB shall [ * ] of any such costs.
(e) Manufacturing License. In the event that UCB assumed responsibility for the manufacture of the Product pursuant to this Section 2.1, UCB shall have a non-exclusive license under any necessary Licensed Intellectual Property during the Term, and subject to the terms of this Agreement, to make or have made the Product outside the Territory solely for sale and distribution in the Territory.
2.2 License Grant. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Jazz Pharmaceuticals hereby grants UCB an exclusive nontransferable, royalty-bearing right and license (with the right of sublicense, as specifically set forth herein), to use the NDA, Know
11

How, Trademarks, Patent Rights and all Improvements and Proprietary Information of Jazz Pharmaceuticals related thereto or to the Product together with the goodwill associated therewith (the “Licensed Intellectual Property”) during the Term, solely in the Territory, to develop, make, have made, package, label, promote, market, sell, have sold, supply, distribute or otherwise commercialize Products in the Licensed Indications, or subject to Section 6.8 any other Indications on a Named Patient Basis, including without limitation (i) preparing applications for Marketing Authorizations and obtaining and maintaining Registrations for the Product in the Territory; and (ii) exercising its other rights under this Agreement including those provided in Articles X and XI hereof and making or having made API and/or Product but only as provided in Section 2.1. Subject to Section 2.3 and except as set forth in Section 6.8, no license is granted to UCB hereunder for any rights to market the Product for Indications other than the Licensed Indications. Except as provided in Section 14.6, the license set forth above shall terminate automatically upon termination of this Agreement. Subject only to the foregoing express license grant and its other rights as herein provided, UCB shall not have and shall not assert any claim, right, title or interest in or to the Licensed Intellectual Property.
2.3 Right of First Negotiation for Other Indications.
(a) Negotiation Notice. If, during the Term of this Agreement, Jazz Pharmaceuticals desires to pursue further development of the Product in the Territory for one or more Indications other than the Licensed Indications, Jazz Pharmaceuticals shall provide written notice to UCB (the “Negotiation Notice”) of its intent to negotiate an agreement therefore. The Negotiation Notice shall identify the relevant Indication(s). Delivery of a Negotiation Notice shall create a mutual obligation to negotiate in good faith on an exclusive basis for the grant to UCB of exclusive rights to the Product for such Indication(s). If no response (a “Negotiation Response”) is received by Jazz Pharmaceuticals [ * ] after delivery of the Negotiation Notice to UCB, the offer shall be deemed declined, and Jazz Pharmaceuticals may then negotiate with any Third Party for the grant of any license for the Product for such Indication(s) subject, however, to the last sentence of Section 2.3(b). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if UCB does not deliver the Fibromyalgia Notice to Jazz Pharmaceuticals in accordance with this Agreement, the development and commercialization of a product containing the API for the Fibromyalgia Indication by Jazz Pharmaceuticals or a Third Party will not be subject to UCB’s right of first negotiation set forth in this Section 2.3.
(b) Procedure of Negotiations. UCB shall have [ * ] from the date of its delivery to Jazz Pharmaceuticals of a Negotiation Response to send a non-binding letter of intent or term sheet to Jazz Pharmaceuticals. The parties shall then have [ * ] from the date that UCB delivers such letter of intent or term sheet to Jazz Pharmaceuticals to negotiate in good faith (and on a confidential basis), and enter into a final agreement with regard to UCB’s distribution of the Product in the Territory for the new Indication(s). In the event that (A) UCB shall have failed to
12
[ * ] = CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT, MARKET BY BRACKETS, HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO RULE 406 OF THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED.
have responded to the Negotiation Notice [ * ] provided in Section 2.3(a) above or (B) failed to send a non-binding letter of intent or term sheet [ * ] set out in this Section 2.3(b) or (C) Jazz Pharmaceuticals and UCB have not entered into a final agreement [ * ] provided in this Section 2.3, Jazz Pharmaceuticals shall have no further obligation to undertake or continue negotiations with UCB for such license, and Jazz Pharmaceuticals shall be free to commence negotiations for a license to the Product for such Indication(s) with any Third Party subject to the following: (i) if a letter of intent, term sheet or final agreement with a Third Party shall not have been signed by Jazz Pharmaceuticals and such Third Party [ * ] of the termination of UCB’s right of first negotiation, then UCB’s right of first negotiation shall again become effective on the terms herein provided and (ii) without UCB’s prior written consent, the terms and conditions agreed by Jazz Pharmaceuticals with such Third Party [ * ].
(c) No Trademark License. If pursuant to this Section 2.3 Jazz Pharmaceuticals licenses to a Third Party the Product in the Territory for one or more Indications other than the Licensed Indications, then such Third Party shall be obligated to market the Product under a trademark different from the Trademarks. Jazz Pharmaceuticals shall not grant, license or otherwise transfer to such Third Party any rights to the Trademarks or otherwise permit any use of the Trademarks by such Third Party for such countries.
2.4 Subdistributors/Sublicensees. UCB may appoint Subdistributors and Sublicensees with the prior written approval of Jazz Pharmaceuticals, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. No such appointment or delegation shall relieve UCB from any obligations hereunder, and each agreement with a Subdistributor or Sublicensee shall include terms ensuring the protection of Jazz Pharmaceuticals’ rights under this Agreement. UCB shall guarantee and be responsible for the making of all payments due, and the making of reports required under this Agreement by its Subdistributors and Sublicensees, and their compliance with all applicable terms of this Agreement. All agreements between UCB and its Subdistributors and Sublicensees shall include a provision prohibiting the further appointment of Subdistributors or Sublicensees, as the case may be, and a provision terminating the Subdistributor or Sublicensee agreement to the extent such agreement relates to the Product in the Territory upon termination of this Agreement for any reason.
2.5 UCB Sales Outside the Territory; Jazz Sales Inside the Territory.

3.2 Regulatory Timelines; Regulatory Assistance. Jazz Pharmaceuticals shall promptly provide to UCB, at Jazz Pharmaceuticals’ cost and expense, copies of all documentation, Know How and Proprietary Information in its possession, and not previously provided, relating to the Product is necessary for UCB to prepare any relevant regulatory application for the Product in a relevant Licensed Indication in a timely manner as such documentation becomes available. Jazz Pharmaceuticals shall also promptly provide, at its own cost and expense, commercially reasonable assistance to UCB in obtaining and maintaining regulatory approval for the Product in the Territory for each Licensed Indication, including without limitation, the provision of services set forth in Appendix D hereto. Each party shall keep the other party informed of any significant or material issue including contact with Regulatory Authorities, related to their respective regulatory filings, submissions and approvals which might reasonably be expected to affect or impact the other party’s regulatory activities in relation to the Product. Where a Regulatory Authority requires additional data or documentation or additional action that is not within Jazz Pharmaceuticals’ obligations as set out in this Section 3.2 and that neither party has or could readily produce or which cannot readily be taken by either party, the parties shall negotiate in good faith the terms upon which such data or documentation should be generated or actions taken by either party, if at all.
3.3 Other Approvals. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement and the Quality Agreement, UCB undertakes and covenants that as soon as reasonably practicable following the Execution Date it shall take all other actions to obtain and maintain during the Term all other approvals, licenses and permits necessary to import, promote, market, package, sell and distribute Products in the Licensed Indications within the Territory.
3.4 Product Changes. Jazz Pharmaceuticals shall give UCB prompt written notice of any formulation or material packaging change to the Product submitted by Jazz Pharmaceuticals to the FDA or requested or required by the FDA, or any other U.S. regulatory authority, whenever such change may affect a Registration in any country within the Territory. Jazz Pharmaceuticals may change the Product, or analytical test methods as it deems appropriate, provided Jazz Pharmaceuticals continues to supply Product conforming to the Product Specifications and in accordance with cGMP then in effect (including continuing the use of the existing analytical test methods) until such times as the Marketing Authorizations are amended to reflect such changes. In the event of such changes, UCB shall be solely responsible for additional submissions and/or regulatory updates which may be required by the Regulatory Authorities in the Territory, provided that all necessary data and information in Jazz Pharmaceuticals’ possession or control shall be furnished by Jazz Pharmaceuticals at Jazz Pharmaceuticals’ expense for such purposes, and provided; further that in no event shall UCB’s
15
[ * ] = CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT, MARKET BY BRACKETS, HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO RULE 406 OF THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED.
failure to obtain any required amendments to the Marketing Authorizations to reflect such additional submissions and/or regulatory updates, relieve Jazz Pharmaceuticals of its obligation to supply Product conforming to the Product Specifications. In the event a Regulatory Authority in any country in the Territory requires a change to the Product Specifications, Jazz Pharmaceuticals and UCB shall cooperate to develop a mutually agreeable plan to address the regulatory requirement in accordance with the change management provisions of the Quality Agreement, as applicable, and, if necessary, to include the production of separate lots, at UCB’s expense, for the Territory. In the event Jazz Pharmaceuticals and UCB mutually agree it is not commercially reasonable to meet such requirements, UCB shall cease promoting, marketing, selling and/or distributing the Product in that Licensed Indication in that country in the Territory and shall promptly terminate the Registrations in such country. If the parties are in disagreement as to whether it is commercially reasonable to meet such requirements, then they shall submit the matter to arbitration in accordance with the provisions of Section 15.2 of this Agreement.
3.5 Clinical Trials. The parties shall keep one another fully and currently informed through the Steering Committee as to all tests and trials of the Product that they intend to carry out for purposes of compliance with regulatory requirements or that might affect Marketing Authorization applications or Registrations in the Territory, provided always that if (i) Jazz Pharmaceuticals itself intends to conduct, or intends to have a Third Party conduct on its behalf, a test or trial of the Product in the Territory other than the clinical trials related to obtaining Marketing Authorization for the Product in Fibromyalgia and (ii) UCB reasonably determines that such proposed activity [ * ], UCB shall be entitled to refer such proposed activity for due consideration by the Steering Committee. The parties shall cooperate in the design of such tests and trials in order to ensure to the maximum possible extent that duplication of effort shall be avoided, and that the results shall be suitable for filing with the Regulatory Authorities in the Territory and shall otherwise be useful for purposes of meeting all applicable regulatory requirements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each party shall use its Commercially Reasonable Efforts to ensure that all clinical trials sponsored by that party which is undertaken for the Product after the Execution Date, if any, shall be designed and conducted in accordance with good clinical practices and good laboratory practices as established for both the United States and the European Union.
3.6 Compliance With Applicable Laws. UCB shall comply with all applicable laws and regulations of each country in the Territory (including, without limitation, any laws or regulations in the Territory governing the distribution of a scheduled drug, as designated under regulations promulgated by the DEA).

approvals issued in respect of the Product outside the Territory and/or for Indications other than Licensed Indications where, in the case of Jazz Pharmaceuticals, non-compliance could have a material adverse impact on the Product in the Territory.
3.7 Approved Product Packaging and Labeling; Relevant Testing. After Product in a particular Licensed Indication receives a Marketing Authorization in any country of the Territory, UCB shall, at its own expense, package and label such Product and shall include all required labeling for such Product sold in such country(ies). For all orders submitted by UCB after Registration is received in a particular country, Jazz Pharmaceuticals shall supply to UCB in bulk (manufactured in accordance with the cGMP requirements as set out in the Quality Agreement), and final labeling and packaging of Product for such country(ies) shall be completed by UCB. After Product receives Marketing Authorization in a country in the Territory for a particular Licensed Indication, UCB shall be solely responsible for all final release testing in such country(ies) and for ensuring in such country(ies) that the Product labeling and packaging complies with the relevant Marketing Authorizations and all other applicable laws of each such country in the Territory. UCB shall provide Jazz Pharmaceuticals with approved copies of all foreign language labels. To the extent permitted by applicable laws and regulations in each country in the Territory, where that Product has been manufactured by Jazz Pharmaceuticals all labels shall identify Jazz Pharmaceuticals as the manufacturer of the Product for UCB.
3.8 Steering Committee. Under the Prior Agreement, the parties have formed a Steering Committee made up of commercial and technical employees from both companies that has certain decision-making authority, and provide oversight for the administration of this Agreement. Each party shall maintain two (2) members on the Steering Committee with other members added as needed. The parties shall each select one of its representatives to serve as a co-chairperson of the Steering Committee. The Steering Committee shall have the authority to conduct the following activities and such other activities as may be agreed to in writing by the parties: (a) review ongoing regulatory issues, (b) review the medical aspects of standards of care in the Territory, (c) review clinical developments across territories to the extent permitted by Jazz Pharmaceuticals’ agreements with Third Parties, (d) review marketing campaigns and new marketing plans, (e) review sales activities and results, (f) review aspects of Product manufacturing campaigns and Product forecasts, inventory stocks and ordering, and (g) establish a manufacturing sub-committee which shall review matters relating to the manufacture of Product. In the event and to the extent that the Steering Committee is unable to come to a consensus on any matter relating to the development (except to the extent that such development involves clinical trials that would occur solely in the Territory) or manufacture of the Product, Registration (including pre-Registration activities), packaging, labeling, promoting, marketing, sale or distribution of the Product outside the Territory, the views of the Jazz Pharmaceuticals Steering Committee members shall prevail. In the event and to the extent that the Steering
17
[ * ] = CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT, MARKET BY BRACKETS, HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO RULE 406 OF THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED.
Committee is unable to come to a consensus on any matter relating to clinical trial activity that would occur solely in the Territory, Registration (including pre-Registration activities), packaging, labeling, promoting, marketing, sale or distribution of the Product within the Territory, and, if UCB has exercised its manufacturing option under Section 2.2, on any matter relating to the manufacture of the Product for sale within the Territory, the views of the UCB Steering Committee members shall prevail. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event a particular matter for which there is no consensus of the Steering Committee could, in the good faith judgment of the party who does not have the ultimate decision making authority as to such matter (as provided in the previous two sentences), materially affect the rights or obligations under this Agreement of such party, Jazz Pharmaceuticals and UCB shall attempt to resolve the matter in a manner which will minimize the impact on such rights or obligations of such party, but in default of agreement may be referred by either party to arbitration under Section 15.2. During each Contract Year, the parties shall hold at least four (4) regular meetings of the Steering Committee. Members of the Steering Committee may participate in meetings of the Steering Committee in person or by conference telephone call. At least one (1) of the four (4) Steering Committee meetings shall be conducted in-person. Employees of each party who are not members of the Steering Committee may attend meetings of the Steering Committee as required. In-person Steering Committee meetings shall alternate between Jazz Pharmaceuticals’ designated facility and a facility designated by UCB. The co-chairpersons of the Steering Committee shall alternate responsibility for the preparation of minutes setting forth discussions made at each committee meeting, with the Jazz Pharmaceuticals Chairperson preparing minutes for the first Steering Committee meeting; provided, however, that such minutes shall not become official until agreed upon by both co-chairpersons.

15.2 Arbitration. Except as provided in Sections 7.11, 15.1 and subject to Section 15.3, all disputes arising between the parties in connection with this Agreement shall be settled as follows:
(a) initially, through discussion between the parties;
(b) if no resolution can be reached through such discussions, then either party may request that the matter be referred to the parties’ respective Chief Executive Officers for resolution by same; and

Such decision shall be conclusive determination of the matter and binding on the parties, shall have the effect of an arbitration award, and shall not (to the extent permitted by applicable law) be contested by any of them. The fees and expenses of an arbitrator selected by a party shall be borne by such party. The fees and expenses of the third independent arbitrator shall initially be borne equally by the parties, and shall be allocated between the parties in accordance with the final decision of the Panel, which decision shall allocate such fees between the parties as determined by the Panel.
