and enforcement, shall be executed, governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to
contracts made and to be fully performed within the State of New York, without regard to choice of law or conflict of law principles.
For the avoidance of doubt, this Agreement’s execution shall be governed by New York law, without regard to choice of law

by the provisions of this Subsection (c) (Arbitration), and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in
any court having jurisdiction thereof. An arbitration conducted pursuant to this Subsection (c) (Arbitration) shall be before a
single arbitrator agreed upon by the Parties within thirty (30) days after initiation of the arbitration or, failing agreement,

		ii.	In any arbitration conducted pursuant to this Subsection (c) (Arbitration), Iusacell, on the one
hand, and the ET Parties (collectively), on the other hand, shall be entitled to take the following discovery: (1) six (6) depositions
of the adverse party and/or non-party witnesses; (2) service of up to twenty (20) interrogatories to be answered under oath by
the adverse Party; and (3) document requests directed to the adverse Party. The arbitrators may, for good cause shown, enlarge
the extent of discovery but shall not reduce the foregoing limits.



 


		iii.	The Parties hereby agree: that an award rendered by the arbitrator(s) pursuant to this Subsection (c)
(Arbitration) (an “Underlying Award”) may be appealed pursuant to the AAA’s Optional Appellate Arbitration
Rules (“Appellate Rules”); that the Underlying Award rendered by the arbitrator(s) shall, at a minimum, be a
reasoned award; and that the Underlying Award shall not be considered final until after the time for filing the notice of appeal
pursuant to the Appellate Rules has expired. Appeals must be initiated within thirty (30) days of receipt of an Underlying Award,
as defined by Rule A-3 of the Appellate Rules, by filing a Notice of Appeal with any AAA office. Following the appeal process,
the decision rendered by the appeal tribunal may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The appellate panel shall
grant oral argument if requested by any Party or if the panel deems it appropriate. Oral arguments shall be conducted in New York
City, and the language of such oral arguments and the appeals process and decision described in this Subsection (iii) shall be
English. Members of the appellate panel shall have the same qualifications as required for an arbitrator above.



 


		iv.	The prevailing Party or Parties shall be entitled to recover from the non-prevailing Party or Parties

		b.	If the last day of any time period stated in this Agreement shall fall on a Saturday, Sunday or
legal holiday, then the duration of such time period shall be extended so that it shall end on the next succeeding day which is
not a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday. The word “day” shall mean a calendar day.



 


		16.	Enforcement of this Agreement



 


In the event of any dispute,
claim, or litigation based upon, arising out of, or relating to, the breach, enforcement, or interpretation of any of the provisions
of this Agreement or where any provision of this Agreement is validly asserted as a defense, the prevailing Party or Parties in
such dispute, claim, or litigation, shall be entitled to recover its or their fees and costs which are reasonably incurred from
the non-prevailing Party or Parties. In addition to the fees and costs recoverable under the preceding sentence, the Parties agree

		19.	Severability



 


If any provision of this Agreement
is determined to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the Parties agree the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain
in full force if both the economic and legal substance of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are not affected in any
manner that is materially adverse to any Party by severing the provision determined to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable.


 


		20.	Transmission of Original Signatures and Executing Multiple Counterparts



 


Original signatures transmitted
and received via facsimile or other electronic transmission of a scanned document (e.g., pdf or similar format) are true and valid

may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to constitute an original but all of which together shall
constitute only one document.
