The Party seeking indemnification (the “Indemnified Party”) will give the other Party (the “Indemnifying<br> Party”) prompt written notice of any claim for which indemnification is sought, describing the claim in reasonable detail;<br> provided that failure to give prompt notice will not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations except to the extent it is<br> materially prejudiced thereby.

This Agreement, and any claim, controversy or dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions<br> it contemplates (including any question regarding formation, existence, validity, interpretation, performance, termination or any<br> non-contractual claim), is governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules that would<br> mandate the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction. The U.S. Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§ 1 et seq.<br> (the “FAA”) governs the interpretation and enforcement of the agreement to arbitrate in this Section. |
| 9.2 | Agreement to Arbitrate; Rules. Any dispute, claim or controversy described in Section 9.1 will be finally resolved by binding arbitration<br> administered by the International Centre for Dispute Resolution of the American Arbitration Association (“ICDR”) in accordance<br> with the ICDR International Arbitration Rules then in effect (the “ICDR Rules”), which are incorporated by reference,<br> except as modified herein. |
| 9.3 | Seat; Language; Tribunal. The seat (legal place) of arbitration is Wilmington, Delaware, U.S.A. The language of the arbitration is<br> English. The tribunal will consist of three (3) arbitrators. Each side will appoint one arbitrator, and those two arbitrators will<br> appoint the presiding arbitrator in accordance with the ICDR Rules. The arbitral tribunal has the authority to determine its own<br> jurisdiction, including any objections with respect to the existence, scope or validity of the arbitration agreement. |
| 9.4 | Emergency and Interim Measures. The parties agree to the emergency measures provisions of the ICDR Rules. The tribunal may grant any interim,<br> conservatory or injunctive relief it deems appropriate. Seeking or obtaining interim, provisional or conservatory measures from a<br> court of competent jurisdiction (including courts in Delaware and any other court with jurisdiction) is permitted and is not incompatible<br> with this Section or a waiver of arbitration. |
| 9.5 | Confidentiality.<br> The arbitration, including its existence, submissions, orders, hearings, evidence and award, is confidential and may not be disclosed<br> by any party except to the extent necessary to enforce or challenge an award, to comply with applicable Law, regulatory or stock<br> exchange requirements, or to auditors, insurers, financing sources and professional advisors who are bound to maintain confidentiality. |
|---|---|
| 9.6 | Award; Enforcement; Jurisdiction. The tribunal’s award will be final and binding, and judgment on the award may be entered in<br> any court having jurisdiction. For the limited purposes of (i) compelling arbitration, (ii) seeking interim or provisional relief,<br> or (iii) confirming, recognizing, enforcing or challenging an award, each party irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction<br> of the state and federal courts located in Delaware and waives any objection based on forum non conveniens or lack of personal jurisdiction. |
| 9.7 | Costs and Fees; Interest. The tribunal may award costs, fees and expenses (including the parties’ reasonable attorneys’<br> fees and expert fees) to the prevailing party to the extent it deems appropriate, and may award pre- and post-award interest at a<br> commercially reasonable rate. |
| 9.8 | Consolidation and Joinder. To the extent permitted by the ICDR Rules, the tribunal (or the ICDR, as applicable) may order consolidation of<br> related arbitrations and/or the joinder of additional parties whose rights or obligations arise out of or in connection with this<br> Agreement, provided that no party is prejudiced thereby. |
| 9.9 | Specific Performance. In addition to any damages or other relief, the tribunal may order specific performance or other equitable relief.<br> Nothing in this Section limits a party’s right to seek urgent injunctive or equitable relief from a court of competent jurisdiction<br> as set out in Section 9.4. |
| 9.10 | Waiver of Jury Trial. To the extent any dispute is determined by a court to be non-arbitrable, each party irrevocably waives any right<br> to a trial by jury to the fullest extent permitted by Law. |
| 9.11 | Prevailing Effect. This Section supersedes any inconsistent forum selection, governing law or jurisdiction provisions in this Agreement<br> to the extent of any inconsistency. |
| X. | TERMINATION |
| 10.1 | Termination.<br> This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing: |
| (a) | By<br> the mutual written consent of the Parties; |
| (b) | By<br> the Buyer, if there has been a material breach by the Seller of any representation, warranty, covenant, or agreement contained in<br> this Agreement, or if any representation or warranty of any Seller shall have become untrue; |
| (c) | By<br> the Seller, if there has been a material breach by the Buyer of any representation, warranty, covenant, or agreement contained in<br> this Agreement, or if any representation or warranty of the Buyer shall have become untrue; or |
| (d) | By<br> any Party if the Closing has not occurred on or before the Closing Date, unless the failure of the Closing to occur is the result<br> of a breach of this Agreement by the Party seeking to terminate this Agreement. |
| 10.2 | Effect of Termination. In the event of the termination of this Agreement in accordance with this Section, there shall be no liability<br> on the part of any Party except that nothing herein shall relieve any Party from liability for any breach of this Agreement occurring<br> prior to such termination. |

Each Party acknowledges that monetary damages would be inadequate to remedy breaches of this Agreement and that<br> the Parties are entitled to seek specific performance and other equitable relief to enforce this Agreement, in addition to any other<br> remedies available at law. |

Seller<br> will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the consents listed on Schedule 3, and<br> failure to obtain any consent will not be a breach of this Agreement. To the extent any consent<br> is not obtained as of Closing, the affected Assigned Contract will be held by Seller in trust<br> for the benefit of Buyer, with Seller enforcing rights and performing obligations thereunder<br> for Buyer’s account (at Buyer’s expense) to the extent permitted, and the Parties<br> will implement reasonable alternative arrangements (including subcontracting or back-to-back<br> agreements) to provide Buyer the economic benefit and burden thereof until consent is obtained.<br> Upon receipt of consent, the applicable Contract will be deemed assigned effective as of<br> the Closing Date as between the Parties for economic purposes. |

| 2.10 | Set-Off Mechanics; No Double Payment. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the payment structure<br> contemplated by the Financing Documents permits satisfaction of Seller’s loan obligations<br> through transfer of specified assets, including the Acquired Assets.

The tribunal may grant any interim, conservatory or injunctive relief it deems appropriate.<br> Seeking or obtaining interim, provisional or conservatory measures from a court of competent<br> jurisdiction (including courts in Delaware and any other court with jurisdiction) is permitted<br> and is not incompatible with this Section or a waiver of arbitration. |

| 10 |
| --- |
| 12.6 | Award; Enforcement; Jurisdiction. The tribunal’s award will be final and binding, and<br> judgment on the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. For the limited purposes<br> of (i) compelling arbitration, (ii) seeking interim or provisional relief, or (iii) confirming,<br> recognizing, enforcing or challenging an award, each party irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive<br> jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Delaware and waives any objection<br> based on forum non conveniens or lack of personal jurisdiction. |
|---|---|
| 12.7 | Costs and Fees; Interest. The tribunal may award costs, fees and expenses (including the parties’<br> reasonable attorneys’ fees and expert fees) to the prevailing party to the extent it<br> deems appropriate, and may award pre- and post-award interest at a commercially reasonable<br> rate. |
| 12.8 | Consolidation and Joinder. To the extent permitted by the ICDR Rules, the tribunal (or the ICDR, as<br> applicable) may order consolidation of related arbitrations and/or the joinder of additional<br> parties whose rights or obligations arise out of or in connection with this Agreement, provided<br> that no party is prejudiced thereby. |
| 12.9 | Specific Performance. In addition to any damages or other relief, the tribunal may order specific<br> performance or other equitable relief. Nothing in this Section limits a party’s right<br> to seek urgent injunctive or equitable relief from a court of competent jurisdiction as set<br> out in Section 12.4. |
| 12.10 | Waiver of Jury Trial. To the extent any dispute is determined by a court to be non-arbitrable,<br> each party irrevocably waives any right to a trial by jury to the fullest extent permitted<br> by Law. |
| 12.11 | Prevailing Effect. This Section supersedes any inconsistent forum selection, governing law or jurisdiction<br> provisions in this Agreement to the extent of any inconsistency. |
