(a) As compensation for a particular Service, the Customer Party agrees to pay to the Providing Party, for each of the first two (2) successive years during which such Service is provided (the “Initial Fee Period”), the respective amount set forth in (i) the Services Letter (or, if applicable, in a separate fee letter to be delivered by the Providing Party to the Customer Party dated as of the date hereof (the “Fee Letter”)) or (ii) with respect to any Service

performed pursuant to an SOW, in such SOW. The parties intend that any such fees reflect the market rate for comparable services. In the event the Services provided are increased or decreased during the Service Period, the fees associated therewith shall be increased or decreased, as applicable, on a pro rata basis.

(b) The fees for the Services other than Fixed Price Projects shall be adjusted in each year subsequent to the Initial Fee Period as negotiated between the parties in good faith based on prevailing market conditions and inflation.

(c) The Customer Party shall not be obligated to pay fees for (i) new Services, other than Additional Services or Services requested pursuant to a SOW, which the Providing Party performs without the authorization of the Customer Party or of any member of its Group or (ii) Services not provided due to a Force Majeure Event (as defined below).

(d) The parties will adhere to the business practices regarding invoicing and payment in place at the time of execution of this Agreement for all Services initially provided by the Providing Party for a maximum period of one year from the date of this Agreement. After one year or in the case of any SOW and unless otherwise specified in the applicable SOW, the Providing Party shall submit statements of account to the Customer Party (including any Sales Tax, as defined in Section 16) on a monthly basis with respect to all amounts payable by the Customer Party to the Providing Party hereunder (the “Invoiced Amount”), setting out the Services provided (by reference to the particular SOW, if applicable), and the amount billed in United States Dollars to the Customer Party as a result of providing such Services. The Customer Party shall pay the Invoiced Amount to the Providing Party by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts specified by the Providing Party, or in such other manner as specified by the Providing Party in writing, or otherwise reasonably agreed to by the Parties, within 30 days of the date of delivery to the Customer Party of the applicable statement of account; provided, that, in the event of any dispute as to an Invoiced Amount, the Customer Party shall pay the undisputed portion, if any, of such Invoiced Amount in accordance with the foregoing, and shall pay the remaining amount, if any, promptly upon resolution of such dispute.

(e) The Providing Party shall maintain books and records adequate for the provision of the Services. At its own expense, the Customer Party may request an audit of the books and records of the Providing Party to determine performance in accordance with Section 4(d). If such audit reveals an underpayment of fees, the Customer Party shall promptly pay the underpayment amount in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. If such audit reveals an overpayment of fees, the Providing Party shall promptly refund the overpayment amount in accordance with Section 4(d).

(f) The Providing Party may, in its discretion and without any liability, suspend any performance under this Agreement upon failure of the Customer Party to make timely any payments required under this Agreement beyond the applicable cure date specified in Section 6(b)(1) of this Agreement.

(g) In the event that the Customer Party does not make any payment required under the provisions of this Agreement (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Services

Letter and/or the Fee Letter) to the Providing Party when due in accordance with the terms hereof, the Providing Party may, at its option, charge the Customer Party interest on the unpaid amount at the rate of 2% per annum above the prime rate charged by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (or its successor). In addition, the Customer Party shall reimburse the Providing Party for all costs of collection of overdue amounts, including any reasonable attorneys’ fees.

(h) In the event that (i) Providing Party agrees to provide services that are the same or substantially similar to the Services and Additional Services provided hereunder to a third party (“Relevant Services”), (ii) such Relevant Services are delivered and priced in a manner substantially similar to the delivery and pricing structure provided for by this Agreement, the Services Letter and the Fee Letter (if any) and are of a similar volume, (iii) the fees to be received by Providing Party from each of Customer Party and such third party are reasonably expected to exceed $1,000,000 per year, (iv) the fee rates in the aggregate to be charged by the Providing Party for any particular Relevant Service (a “Reduced Cost Service”) are less than the fee rates in the aggregate for the corresponding Service or Additional Service charged under this Agreement, the Services Letter and the Fee Letter (if any), and (v) after giving good faith consideration to any higher fee rates charged by Providing Party for any other Relevant Services other than the Reduced Cost Service being provided to such third party, the aggregate economic benefit received by Providing Party for providing all such Relevant Services is less than the aggregate economic benefit received by Providing Party for providing the Services and Additional Services, then within thirty Business Days of entering into a binding agreement to provide the Relevant Services to such third party, Providing Party shall offer to provide to Customer Party the Service and/or Additional Service corresponding to the Reduced Cost Service at the same rate as Providing Party provides the Reduced Cost Service to such third party. The fees provided for under this Agreement, the Services Letter and the Fee Letter (if any) shall be reduced to an amount equal to the fees charged for the Reduced Cost Service effective as of the later of (x) the first day of the immediately succeeding calendar quarter after the date on which Providing Party notifies Customer Party of the Reduced Cost Service or (y) thirty days after the date on which Providing Party notifies Customer Party of the Reduced Cost Service. For purposes of clarification only, this Section 4(h) shall not apply to situations where Providing Party agrees to provide test or trial services to a third party.

5. Term.

(a) Initial Term. This Agreement shall commence on the Distribution Date and shall continue in full force and effect, subject to Section 5(b), until the date that is eight (8) years from the Distribution Date (the “Initial Term”), or the earlier date upon which this Agreement has been otherwise terminated in accordance with the terms hereof.

The Customer Party shall not be obligated to pay for any changed Services performed without its prior approval.

(d) The Customer Party may, in an emergency, request additional Services to be performed as promptly as practicable, and the Providing Party shall use its reasonable best efforts to perform such Services as promptly as practicable.

In such a case, the Customer Party and Providing Party may agree for the one-time increase in payment for the emergency. Such emergency request shall last no longer than 30 Business Days, and the Providing Party shall have no obligation to continue performing such Services unless the Customer Party follows the procedures in Section 7(a) hereof for permanent change order procedures.

8. Right of First Opportunity.

(a) If the Customer Party or any member of its Group elects to receive any Additional Service (as defined below), it shall first request a proposal for the provision of such Additional Service from the Providing Party. The Providing Party shall have 30 Business Days (the “Exclusive Tender Period”) to respond to such request for Additional Service and to provide a proposed SOW to the Customer Party. During the Exclusive Tender Period, the Customer Party shall not solicit proposals or negotiate with any other third party with respect to such request for Additional Service. Upon receipt of the Providing Party’s proposal for the Additional Service, the Customer Party shall consider such proposal and shall negotiate with the Providing Party in good faith with respect to the possible provision by the Providing Party of such Additional Services.

(b) If, at the end of the Exclusive Tender Period, the Providing Party and the Customer Party do not agree on the proposed SOW, the Customer Party may solicit proposals from third parties with respect to the Additional Service; provided, however, that the Customer Party shall not disclose any information received from the Providing Party, whether verbal or written, in the proposed SOW or during the Exclusive Tender Period negotiations, and such information shall be subject to the terms of Section 12 (Confidentiality) hereof.

(c) As an alternative to the procedures set forth in Sections 8(a) and 8(b), Customer Party may solicit proposals or negotiate with third parties with respect to an Additional Service (such third parties, “Third Party Additional Service Providers”) during the Exclusive Tender Period so long as:

	i)		at least fifteen Business Days prior to engaging any Third Party Additional Service Provider, Customer Party shall disclose to Providing Party a description of the Additional Services to be provided by such Third Party Additional Service Provider and all fees, costs and other expenses to be charged by such Third Party Additional Service Provider (such description, a “Third Party Additional Service Offer”),

	ii)		within ten Business Days of receipt of any Third Party Additional Service Offer, Providing Party shall have the right to make an offer (a “Matching Offer”) to provide the same or substantially the same Additional Services as set forth in the Third Party Additional Service Offer, and

	iii)		if the fees set forth in the Matching Offer do not exceed the fees set forth in the Third Party Additional Services Offer, Customer Party may not accept the Third Party Additional Services Offer. Conversely, if the fees set forth in the Matching Offer exceed the fees set forth in the Third Party Additional Services Offer, Customer Party may accept the Third Party Additional Services Offer.

(d) For purposes of this Agreement, “Additional Service” means: a service that (i) is reasonably similar to the Services provided hereunder or under any SOW, (ii) reasonably could be performed in facilities located in India, the United States, Canada, Uruguay or other facilities similar to the Providing Party’s facilities in these locations; (iii) reasonably would be expected to involve a purchase volume greater than $200,000 on an annual basis; and (iv) is not an Applicable Service.

(e) For the avoidance of doubt, the Providing Party shall not be restricted from providing services to a third party that are similar or identical to the Services.

Any requirements for the securing or posting of any bond with such remedy are waived.

(k) No provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed waived, amended, supplemented or modified by any Party hereto, unless such waiver, amendment, supplement or modification is in writing and signed by the authorized representative of the party against whom it is sought to enforce such waiver, amendment, supplement or modification.

(l) Words in the singular shall be held to include the plural and vice versa and words of one gender shall be held to include the other genders as the context requires. The terms “hereof,” “herein, “and “herewith” and words of similar import, unless otherwise stated, shall be construed to refer to this Agreement as a whole (including all of the schedules hereto) and not to any particular provision of this Agreement. Article, Section, Exhibit, Schedule and Appendix references are to the articles, sections, exhibits, schedules and appendices of or to this Agreement unless otherwise specified. Any reference herein to this Agreement, unless otherwise stated, shall be construed to refer to this Agreement as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, as permitted by Section 9(k). The word “including” and words of similar import when used in this Agreement shall mean “including, without limitation,” unless the context otherwise requires or unless otherwise specified. The word “or” shall not be exclusive. There shall be no presumption of interpreting this Agreement or any provision hereof against the draftsperson of this Agreement or any such provision.

(m) Any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be brought in the courts of the State of New York located in the County of New York or in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (if any Party to such action or proceeding has or can acquire jurisdiction), and each of the parties hereto irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of each such court in any such action or proceeding, waives any objection it may now or hereafter have to venue or to convenience of forum, agrees that all claims in respect of the action or proceeding shall be heard and determined only in any such court and agrees not to bring any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any other court. The parties to this Agreement agree that any of them may file a copy of this paragraph with any court as written evidence of the knowing, voluntary and bargained agreement between the parties hereto and thereto irrevocably to waive any objections to venue or to convenience of forum. Process in any action or proceeding referred to in the first sentence of this Section 9(m) may be served on any Party to this Agreement anywhere in the world.

10. Intellectual Property. The Providing Party or a member of its Group shall retain all rights to all technology and intellectual property owned or licensed by the Providing Party or a member of its Group prior to the provision of Services hereunder or developed by the Providing Party and any member of its Group during the course of and in association with the provision of Services under this Agreement by the Providing Party and any member of its Group, including all derivative works. The Customer Party and any member of its Group shall retain all rights to all intellectual property owned or licensed by the Customer Party or a member of its Group prior to the provision of Services hereunder or developed by the Customer Party or a member of its Group during the course of and in association with the provision of Services by the Providing Party under this Agreement, including all derivative works. To the extent any technology or intellectual property is jointly developed by the Providing Party or a member of its Group on the one hand and the Customer Party or a member of its Group on the other, it shall be deemed OCWEN IP, if it relates to the OCWEN Business, or ALTISOURCE Licensed

Intellectual Property, if it relates to the ALTISOURCE Business, as these terms are defined in the Intellectual Property Agreement. Any intellectual property not already part of the ALTISOURCE IP, the ALTISOURCE Licensed Intellectual Property, or the OCWEN IP, as those terms are defined in the Intellectual Property Agreement, shall become ALTISOURCE Licensed Intellectual Property, if owned by ALTISOURCE, or OCWEN IP, if owned by OCWEN. All intellectual property that is involved in the provision of Services hereunder, therefore, shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the Intellectual Property Agreement.

11. Cooperation; Access; Steering Committee.

(a) The Customer Party shall, and shall cause its Group to, permit the Providing Party and its employees and representatives access, on Business Days during hours that constitute regular business hours for the Customer Party and upon reasonable prior request, to the premises of the Customer Party and its Group and such data, books, records and personnel designated by the Customer Party and its Group as involved in receiving or overseeing the Services as the Providing Party may reasonably request for the purposes of providing the Services. The Providing Party shall provide the Customer Party, upon reasonable prior written notice, such documentation relating to the provision of the Services as the Customer Party may reasonably request for the purposes of confirming any Invoiced Amount pursuant to this Agreement. Any documentation so provided to the Providing Party pursuant to this Section 11 will be subject to the confidentiality obligations set forth in Section 12 of this Agreement.

(b) Each party hereto shall designate a relationship manager (each, a “Relationship Executive”) to report and discuss issues with respect to the provision of the Services and successor relationship executives in the event that a designated Relationship Executive is not available to perform such role hereunder. The initial Relationship Executive designated by OCWEN shall be Xxxxxx X. Xxxxx and the initial Relationship Executive designated by ALTISOURCE shall be Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxxx. Either party may replace its Relationship Executive at any time by providing written notice thereof to the other party hereto.

12. Confidentiality.

(a) Subject to Section 12(b), each of OCWEN and ALTISOURCE, on behalf of itself and each other member of its Group, agrees to hold, and to cause its directors, officers, employees, agents, accountants, counsel and other advisors and representatives to hold, in strict confidence, with at least the same degree of care that applies to confidential and proprietary information of OCWEN pursuant to policies in effect as of the Distribution Date, all Information concerning the other Group that is either in its possession (including Information in its possession prior to the Distribution Date) or furnished by the other Group or its directors, officers, employees, agents, accountants, counsel and other advisors and representatives at any time pursuant to this Agreement, and shall not use any such Information other than for such purposes as shall be expressly permitted hereunder, except to the extent that such Information has been (i) in the public domain through no fault of such party or any other member of such Group or any of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, accountants, counsel and other advisors and representatives, (ii) later lawfully acquired from other sources by such party (or any other member of such party’s Group), which sources are not known by such party to be

themselves bound by a confidentiality obligation, or (iii) independently generated without reference to any proprietary or confidential Information of any member of the other Group.

(b) Each party agrees not to release or disclose, or permit to be released or disclosed, any such Information (excluding Information described in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of Section 12(a)) to any other Person, except its directors, officers, employees, agents, accountants, counsel and other advisors and representatives who need to know such Information (who shall be advised of their obligations hereunder with respect to such Information), except in compliance with Section 12(c). Without limiting the foregoing, when any Information is no longer needed for the purposes contemplated by this Agreement, each party will promptly, after request of the other party, either return the Information to the other party in a tangible form (including all copies thereof and all notes, extracts or summaries based thereon) or certify to the other party that any Information not returned in a tangible form (including any such Information that exists in an electronic form) has been destroyed (and such copies thereof and such notes, extracts or summaries based thereon).

(c) In the event that either party or any other member of its Group either determines on the advice of its counsel that it is required to disclose any Information pursuant to applicable law or receives any demand under lawful process or from any Governmental Authority to disclose or provide Information of the other party (or any other member of the other party’s Group) that is subject to the confidentiality provisions hereof, such party shall, to the extent permitted by law, notify the other party prior to disclosing or providing such Information and shall cooperate, at the expense of the requesting Party, in seeking any reasonable protective arrangements requested by such other party. Subject to the foregoing, the Person that received such request may thereafter disclose or provide Information to the extent required by such law (as so advised by counsel) or by lawful process or such Governmental Authority.

13. Dispute Resolution.

(a) It is the intent of the parties to use reasonable best efforts to resolve expeditiously any dispute, controversy or claim between or among them with respect to the matters covered hereby that may arise from time to time on a mutually acceptable negotiated basis. In furtherance of the foregoing, a Party involved in a dispute, controversy or claim may deliver a notice (an “Escalation Notice”) demanding an in-person meeting involving representatives of the parties at a senior level of management (or if the parties agree, of the appropriate strategic business unit or division within such entity). A copy of any such Escalation Notice shall be given to the General Counsel, or like officer or official, of the party involved in the dispute, controversy or claim (which copy shall state that it is an Escalation Notice pursuant to this Agreement). Any agenda, location or procedures for such discussions or negotiations between the parties may be established by the parties from time to time; provided, however, that the parties shall use reasonable best efforts to meet within 30 days of the Escalation Notice.

14. Warranties; Limitation of Liability; Indemnity.

(a) Other than the statements expressly made by the Providing Party in this Agreement or in any SOW, the Providing Party makes no representation or warranty, express or implied, with respect to the Services and, except as provided in Section 14(b) hereof, the

Customer Party hereby waives, releases and renounces all other representations, warranties, obligations and liabilities of the Providing Party, and any other rights, claims and remedies of the Customer Party against the Providing Party, express or implied, arising by law or otherwise, with respect to any nonconformance, durability, error, omission or defect in any of the Services, including (i) any implied warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose or non-infringement, (ii) any implied warranty arising from course of performance, course of dealing or usage of trade and (iii) any obligation, liability, right, claim or remedy in tort, whether or not arising from the negligence of the Providing Party.

(b) None of the Providing Party or any of its Affiliates or any of its or their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact, contractors or other representatives shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Providing Party or such person under or in connection with this Agreement, except that the Providing Party shall be liable for direct damages or losses incurred by the Customer Party or the Customer Party’s Group arising out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Providing Party or any of its Affiliates or any of its or their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact, contractors or other representatives in the performance or nonperformance of the Services or Ancillary Services.

(c) In no event shall (i) the amount of damages or losses for which the Providing Party and the Customer Party may be liable under this Agreement exceed the fees due to the Providing Party for the most recent 6 month period under the applicable Service or SOW(s), provided that if Services have been performed for less than 6 months, then the damages or losses will be limited to the value of the actual Services performed during such period; or (ii) the aggregate amount of all such damages or losses for which the Providing Party may be liable under this Agreement exceed $1,000,000; provided, that, no such cap shall apply to liability for damages or losses arising from or relating to breaches of Section 12 (relating to confidentiality), infringement of Intellectual Property or fraud or criminal acts. Except as provided in Section 14(b) hereof, none of the Providing Party or any of its Affiliates or any of its or their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact, contractors or other representatives shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by, or the negligence, gross negligence or willful misconduct of, any third party.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, none of the Providing Party or any of its Affiliates or any of its or their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact, contractors or other representatives shall be liable for damages or losses incurred by the Customer Party or any of the Customer Party’s Affiliates for any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Providing Party or such other person under or in connection with this Agreement to the extent such action or omission arises from actions taken or omitted to be taken by, or the negligence, gross negligence or willful misconduct of, the Customer Party or any of the Customer Party’s Affiliates.

(e) Without limiting Section 14(b) hereof, no Party hereto or any of its Affiliates or any of its or their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact, contractors or other representatives shall in any event have any obligation or liability to the other party hereto or any such other person whether arising in contract (including warranty), tort (including active, passive or imputed negligence) or otherwise for consequential, incidental,

indirect, special or punitive damages, whether foreseeable or not, arising out of the performance of the Services or this Agreement, including any loss of revenue or profits, even if a Party hereto has been notified about the possibility of such damages; provided, however, that the provisions of this Section 14(e) shall not limit the indemnification obligations hereunder of either party hereto with respect to any liability that the other party hereto may have to any third party not affiliated with any member of the Providing Party’s Group or the Customer Party’s Group for any incidental, consequential, indirect, special or punitive damages.

(f) The Customer Party shall indemnify and hold the Providing Party and its Affiliates and any of its or their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact, contractors or other representatives harmless from and against any and all damages, claims or losses that the Providing Party or any such other person may at any time suffer or incur, or become subject to, as a result of or in connection with this Agreement or the Services provided hereunder, except those damages, claims or losses incurred by the Providing Party or such other person arising out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct by the Providing Party or such other person.

15. Additional Agreements. The Providing Party shall:

(a) maintain data backup and document storage and retrieval systems adequate for the provision of the Services;

(b) maintain a business continuity plan adequate for the provision of the Services and shall provide a copy of such plan upon the Customer Party’s request;

(c) provide the Services under this Agreement and any SOW in compliance with (i) all obligations and applicable laws, including, but not limited to, privacy and data protection laws, labor and overtime laws, tax laws, the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and environmental protection laws and (ii) all requirements from any Governmental Authority to maintain necessary licenses and permits;

16. Taxes. Unless otherwise provided herein or in an applicable SOW, each party hereto shall be responsible for the cost of any sales, use, privilege and other transfer or similar taxes imposed upon that Party as a result of the transactions contemplated hereby. Any amounts payable under this Agreement are exclusive of any goods and services taxes, value added taxes, sales taxes or similar taxes (“Sales Taxes”) now or hereinafter imposed on the performance or delivery of Services, and an amount equal to such taxes so chargeable shall, subject to receipt of a valid receipt or invoice as required below in this Section 16, be paid by the Customer Party to the Providing Party in addition to the amounts otherwise payable under this Agreement. In each case where an amount in respect of Sales Tax is payable by the Customer Party in respect of a Service provided by the Providing Party, the Providing Party shall furnish in a timely manner a valid Sales Tax receipt or invoice to the Customer Party in the form and manner required by applicable law to allow the Customer Party to recover such tax to the extent allowable under such law.

17. Public Announcements. No Party to this Agreement shall make, or cause to be made, any press release or public announcement or otherwise communicate with any news

media in respect of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other party hereto unless otherwise required by law, in which case the party making the press release, public announcement or communication shall give the other party reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such and the parties shall cooperate as to the timing and contents of any such press release, public announcement or communication.

18. Assignment. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. No Party hereto may assign either this Agreement or any of its rights, interests or obligations hereunder without the prior written approval of the other party hereto; provided, however, that either party may assign this Agreement without the consent of the other party to any third party that acquires, by any means, including by merger or consolidation, all or substantially all the consolidated assets of such party. Any purported assignment in violation of this Section 18 shall be void and shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement.

19. Relationship of the Parties. The parties hereto are independent contractors and none of the parties hereto is an employee, partner or joint venturer of the other. Under no circumstances shall any of the employees of a Party hereto be deemed to be employees of the other party hereto for any purpose. Except as expressly provided herein, none of the parties hereto shall have the right to bind the others to any agreement with a third party or to represent itself as a partner or joint venturer of the other by reason of this Agreement.

20. Force Majeure. Neither party hereto shall be in default of this Agreement by reason of its delay in the performance of, or failure to perform, any of its obligations hereunder if such delay or failure is caused by strikes, acts of God, acts of the public enemy, acts of terrorism, riots or other events that arise from circumstances beyond the reasonable control of that Party (each, a “Force Majeure Event”). During the pendency of such Force Majeure Event, each of the parties hereto shall take all reasonable steps to fulfill its obligations hereunder by other means and, in any event, shall upon termination of such intervening event, promptly resume its obligations under this Agreement.

21. Non-Solicitation. The Customer Party acknowledges that the value to the Providing Party of its business and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement would be substantially diminished if such Customer Party or any of its Affiliates were to solicit the employment of or hire any employee of the Providing Party or any member of its Group performing Services or who has performed Services hereunder. Accordingly, the Customer Party agrees that neither it nor any of its Affiliates shall, directly or indirectly and without the prior consent of the other party, solicit the employment of, or hire, employ or retain, or otherwise encourage or cause to leave employment with the Providing Party, or cause any other Person to hire, employ or retain, or otherwise encourage or cause to leave employment with the Providing Party or any of its Affiliates, any Person who is or was employed by the Providing Party or any of its Affiliates with respect to the provision of Services at any time within twelve (12) months preceding the time of such solicitation or hiring, employment, retention or encouragement.

22. Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY, WAIVES (TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE

LAW) ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY DISPUTE ARISING UNDER OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT AND AGREES THAT ANY SUCH DISPUTE SHALL BE TRIED BEFORE A JUDGE SITTING WITHOUT A JURY.
