The Parties’ agreement to negotiate and the requirement to provide a Dispute Notice each as described in Section 7.1 shall not prevent either Party from commencing arbitration (according to the procedures set forth in Section 7.3) or court proceedings (for the purposes specified in Section 7.3(e)) in order to seek injunctive or other urgent relief, including but not limited to conservatory measures to maintain the status quo or prevent dissipation of assets or injury to property.

7.3

Arbitration.

(a)

If (i) the Dispute has not been resolved for any reason by the Disagreement Deadline and no Notice of Disagreement is delivered by the Disagreement Deadline, or (ii) a timely Notice of Disagreement is delivered and the Dispute has not been resolved for any reason by the Negotiation Deadline, then, in each case of clause (i) and (ii) such Dispute shall, at the request of any relevant Party, be exclusively and finally determined by binding arbitration (as provided for in this Section 7.3) administered by JAMS in accordance with its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules & Procedures effective June 1, 2021, unless the Parties agree in writing to another arbitration service provider and/or rules of arbitration, except, in any event, the applicable rules of arbitration (the “Rules”) shall be modified as set out herein; provided that any relevant Party may commence arbitration or court proceedings seeking urgent relief (as described in Section 7.2) at any time. Any question of the arbitrability of any Dispute or the existence, scope, validity or enforceability of this Section 7.3 shall be referred to and resolved by the arbitrators.

(b)

The seat of arbitration shall be Atlanta, Georgia, unless the Parties agree in writing to another seat of arbitration.

(c)

For any Dispute asserting claims exceeding $1 million (or equivalent value) or seeking injunctive relief, the arbitration shall be conducted by a panel of three arbitrators. All other Disputes shall be conducted by a sole arbitrator. In the event any party challenges whether the dispute belongs above or below this monetary threshold for these purposes, the issue shall be resolved exclusively by the administrator of JAMS (or such other arbitration service provider as may be agreed upon in writing by the Parties), and shall be treated as an administrative matter only. In the case of a panel of three arbitrators, each Party shall appoint an arbitrator within twenty (20) days of a Party’s receipt of a Party’s demand for arbitration. The two Party-appointed arbitrators shall appoint the third and presiding arbitrator within twenty (20) days of the appointment of the second arbitrator. In the case of a sole arbitrator, the arbitrator shall be appointed in accordance with the applicable Rules. If any appointed arbitrator declines, resigns, becomes

incapacitated, or otherwise refuses or fails to serve or to continue to serve as an arbitrator, the Party or arbitrators entitled to appoint such arbitrator shall appoint a successor within twenty (20) days. In the event an arbitrator is not appointed by a Party or the arbitrators within the time periods specified herein, JAMS (or such other arbitration service provider as may be agreed upon in writing by the Parties) shall be authorized to appoint such arbitrator in accordance with the applicable Rules. In all cases, all arbitrators must be a licensed attorney or judge with at least ten years of experience in commercial litigation and/or arbitration. With respect to any Dispute involving one or more claims for which intellectual property is a material aspect of such claim(s), the arbitrator(s) shall possess experience and expertise in the applicable field of intellectual property law.

(d)

In the event a Party is in need of urgent relief prior to the appointment of the arbitrator(s), the Parties consent to the procedures and powers provided in the Rules for the appointment of an emergency arbitrator to consider such relief. Notwithstanding any rule to the contrary, the arbitrator(s), once appointed, will have full authority to modify, vacate or supplement any temporary or provisional relief issued by an emergency arbitrator on such grounds as the arbitrator(s) consider appropriate.

(e)

Subject to Section 7.3(f), nothing contained herein is intended to or shall be construed to deprive any court of its jurisdiction to issue pre- or post-arbitral injunctions, pre- or post-arbitral attachments, or other orders in aid of arbitration proceedings, or to enforce arbitration judgments and awards rendered hereunder, including by issuing orders confirming such judgments and awards. Without prejudice to such equitable remedies as may be granted by a court of competent jurisdiction, the arbitrators shall have full authority to grant provisional remedies and to direct the parties to request that a court modify or vacate any temporary or preliminary relief issued by such court, and to award damages for the failure of any party to respect the arbitrators’ orders to that effect. The Parties agree to accept and honor all orders relating to interim or provisional remedies that are issued by the arbitrators and agree that any such orders may be enforced, as necessary, in any court of competent jurisdiction.

(f)

The Parties consent and submit to the jurisdiction of any federal court in the Northern District of Georgia or, where such court does not have jurisdiction, any Georgia state court in Fulton County, Georgia (“Georgia Courts”) with respect to any Dispute related to, arising out of or resulting from this Agreement (including for urgent relief as set forth in Section 7.2); provided that the Parties irrevocably and unconditionally submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of Georgia Courts in any Proceeding to compel or contest the imposition of arbitration with respect to any Dispute related to, arising out of or resulting from this Agreement and the Parties shall not bring any such Proceedings in any court other than Georgia Courts.

Notwithstanding anything in the preceding sentence to the contrary, any court of competent jurisdiction (whether Georgia Courts or otherwise) shall be entitled to issue pre- or post-arbitral attachments, other orders in aid of arbitration proceedings (including for interim or provisional remedies in aid of arbitration) or orders to enforce arbitration judgments and awards rendered hereunder, including by issuing orders confirming such judgments and awards. In furtherance of the foregoing, (i) irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent it may effectively do so, any objection, including any objection to the laying of venue or based on the grounds of forum non conveniens or any right of objection to jurisdiction on account of its place of incorporation or domicile, which it may now or hereafter have to the bringing of any such action or proceeding in any Georgia Court; (ii) irrevocably consents to service of process sent by a national courier service (with written confirmation of receipt) to its address identified in Section 8.1; and (iii) irrevocably waives any right to trial by jury in any court as set forth in Section 7.4.

(g)

Discovery shall be limited to only: (i) documents directly related to the issues in dispute; (ii) no more than three (3) depositions per Party for any Dispute asserting claims exceeding $1 million (or equivalent value) or seeking injunctive relief, or two (2) depositions per Party for all other Disputes; and (iii) ten (10) interrogatories per Party. The arbitration procedures shall include provision for production of documents relevant to the Dispute; provided that the parties shall make good faith efforts to conduct the arbitration such that all documentary and deposition discovery is completed within ninety (90) days of the appointment of the arbitrator(s) or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter. All discovery, if any, shall be completed within ninety (90) days of the appointment of the arbitrator(s) or as soon as practicable thereafter. The Parties agree that, without derogating from any other provisions of the Rules allowing for summary disposition, the arbitrator(s) shall permit applications for summary disposition to be filed at least thirty (30) days prior to any scheduled evidentiary hearing, and shall be empowered to grant such applications where justice and efficiency warrant such relief, in which case there shall be no need for a full evidentiary hearing. Adherence to formal rules of evidence in any hearing on the matter shall not be required and the arbitrators shall consider any evidence and testimony that the arbitrators determine to be relevant, in accordance with the Rules and procedures that the arbitrators determine to be appropriate.

(h)

The parties shall make good faith efforts to conduct the arbitration such that all written submissions are submitted and any hearing to be conducted is held no later than one hundred and eighty (180) days following appointment of the arbitrators or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter; provided, however, that the failure to meet such deadline shall not invalidate the arbitration or any award of the arbitrators.

(i)

For any Dispute asserting claims exceeding $1 million (or equivalent value) or seeking injunctive relief, the panel of arbitrators shall render a reasoned award. For all other Disputes, the sole arbitrator shall not be required to render a reasoned award, provided, however, that such omission of written reasoning shall not invalidate the arbitration or any award of the sole arbitrator. In all cases, the arbitrator(s) shall make good faith efforts to render an award within thirty (30) days of the close of the hearing on the merits or the final written submission (whichever occurs later) or a soon as practicable thereafter; provided, however, that the failure to meet such deadline shall not invalidate the arbitration or any award of the arbitrator(s). The arbitrator(s) shall be entitled, if appropriate, to award any remedy that is permitted under this Agreement and applicable Law and Rules, including monetary damages, specific performance and other forms of legal and equitable relief. The Parties hereby waive any claim to attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses of arbitration, except as may be expressly required by statute, and the arbitrators are not empowered to and shall not award such damages.

(j)

The Parties intend that the provisions to arbitrate set forth herein be valid, enforceable and irrevocable, and any award rendered by the arbitrator(s) shall be final and binding on the Parties and shall be the sole and exclusive remedy between the Parties regarding any Dispute presented to the arbitrator(s). The Parties agree to comply and cause the members of their applicable Group to comply with any award made in any such arbitration and agree to the enforcement of or entry of confirming judgment upon such award in any court of competent jurisdiction.

(k)

Without limiting the provisions of the Rules, unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Parties, or as may be required by Law or any Governmental Authority, the relevant Parties shall keep, and shall cause the members of their applicable Group to keep, confidential all matters relating to any arbitration hereunder. The Parties agree not to disclose to any third party (i) the existence or status of the arbitration, (ii) all information made known and documents produced in the arbitration not otherwise in the public domain, and (iii) any award arising from the arbitration; provided, however, that such information and awards may be disclosed (x) to the extent reasonably necessary to enforce this Agreement or give effect to this Section 7.3, (y) to enter judgment upon any arbitral award rendered hereunder or as is required to protect or pursue any other legal right, and (z) to the extent otherwise required by Law or a Governmental Authority (including any public disclosure required by securities Laws).

7.4

Continuity of Service and Performance. During the course of resolving a Dispute pursuant to the provisions of this Article VII, the Parties will continue to provide all other services and honor all other commitments under this Agreement with respect to all matters not the subject of the Dispute.

7.5

Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY DISPUTE. EACH OF THE PARTIES HEREBY (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF THE OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF A PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO A DISPUTE, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND THAT NO PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY ASSIGNEE, SUCCESSOR, OR REPRESENTATIVE OF ANY PARTY SHALL REQUEST A JURY TRIAL IN ANY SUCH PROCEEDING NOR SEEK TO CONSOLIDATE ANY SUCH PROCEEDING WITH ANY OTHER PROCEEDING IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL CANNOT BE OR HAS NOT BEEN WAIVED AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT, AS APPLICABLE, BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 7.5.
