amicably and without litigation or arbitration hereunder; provided, however, if a Party reasonably believes that
any threat or potential threat exists of (1) damage, harm or loss, in whole or in part, of any of its property, (2) an unauthorized
disclosure, publication or misappropriation of its Confidential Information, or (3) a material violation or breach of any obligation
contained in this Agreement or any agreement executed hereunder or pursuant to the terms hereof may cause irreparable harm to
such Party if not restrained or abated, such Party shall not be constrained or limited by the duty to negotiate during the Negotiation
Period as specified herein, but shall have the immediate right, exercisable in its sole discretion and at its option, to invoke
mandatory arbitration as provided in Section 1.02 below.


 


1.02
Mandatory Arbitration.


 


(a)
Subject to the provisions contained in Section 1.01 hereof, if the Parties are unable to resolve a Dispute during the Negotiation
Period (or to any extension thereof that may be agreed upon by the Parties in writing), then and upon expiration of such period,
the Dispute shall be finally and exclusively resolved by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association’s
International Centre for Dispute Resolution (“ICDR”) under the ICDR’s International Dispute Resolution
Procedures (English) (“ICDR Rules”).


 


(b)
In addition to the ICDR Rules, or in supplementation or as an exception thereto, as the case may be, the following rules and procedures
shall govern any arbitration of a Dispute conducted hereunder:

(1)
Unless otherwise agreed by the parties to the Dispute, the place of the arbitration shall be ___________________ and the
arbitration shall be conducted in the English language.


 


(2)
Unless otherwise agreed by the parties to the Dispute, the arbitration shall be conducted by a three (3) arbitrators (the “Arbitral
Tribunal”). One arbitrator shall be nominated by the claimant(s) and the second arbitrator shall be nominated by the
respondent(s). The two nominated arbitrators shall then jointly nominate the third arbitrator, who shall act as chairman of the
Arbitral Tribunal and shall be a licensed to practice law in ___________ and shall have expertise in the matters involved in the
Dispute. If the claimant(s) or the respondent(s) fails to nominate an arbitrator to the Arbitral Tribunal within thirty (30) calendar
days after the date on which a Notice of Arbitration has been received by the ICDR to commence the arbitration under the ICDR
Rules (the “Arbitration Commencement Date”), or the two arbitrators nominated by the claimant(s) and respondent(s),
respectively, fail to designate the third arbitrator to the Arbitral Tribunal within thirty (30) calendar days after the Arbitration
Commencement Date, the ICDR shall appoint any arbitrator or arbitrators required to complete the Arbitral Tribunal, including
the third arbitrator that is to act as the chairman of the Arbitral Tribunal.


 


(3)
The appointing authority shall be the ICDR.


 


(4)
No arbitrator selected or appointed to the Arbitral Tribunal shall be older than seventy (70) years of age at the time of his/her
appointment.


 


(c)
The decision or award of the arbitrator(s) shall be in writing and shall state its detailed reasoning for the award.
Discovery of evidence shall be conducted expeditiously by the Parties, bearing in mind the Parties’ desire to limit
discovery and to expedite the decision or award of the arbitrator(s) at the most reasonable cost and expense of the Parties.
Judgment upon an award rendered pursuant to such arbitration may be entered in any court having jurisdiction or application
may be made to such court for a judicial confirmation of the award and/or an order of enforcement, as the case may
be.


 


(d)
Any decision or award of the Arbitral Tribunal (including any assessment of the costs and expenses of the arbitration) shall be
final, conclusive and binding on the Parties, and any right of application or appeal to the U.S. courts or to the courts in any
other jurisdiction in connection with any question of law or fact arising in the arbitration or in connection with any award or
decision made by the Arbitral Tribunal or the arbitrator(s) shall, so far as lawfully possible, is and shall be waived and excluded
(except as may be necessary to enforce such award or decision).

1.03
Emergency Measures; Remedies.


 


(a)
Each Party acknowledges and agrees that any material default under any binding and enforceable provisions contained in this Agreement
may cause irreparable harm and substantial economic injury that may be difficult to ascertain or to remedy in damages. Each Party
therefore agrees that emergency relief and measures (including temporary restraining orders, temporary or permanent injunctive
relief, specific performance and other similar relief), in addition to other legal and equitable relief, are and will be appropriate
remedies for any actual or threatened breach or violation of this Agreement and may be obtained by a Party on an emergency basis
from the Arbitral Tribunal or, if one has not been formed, from a single arbitrator or neutral designated by the ICDR, or as otherwise
authorized or available under the ICDR Rules, or from any court having jurisdiction hereunder.


 


(b)
All legal and equitable relief available hereunder, or that may be available under the ICDR Rules (including permanent injunctive
relief and specific performance and similar relief) shall be available to any Party as an interim or permanent measure or remedy
to interdict and arrest any material default and to require that a defaulting Party fully comply with the binding and enforceable
terms contained in this Agreement.


 


(c)
In any arbitral action or claim submitted to the ICDR for emergency or permanent relief hereunder, or for emergency relief to
any court having jurisdiction hereunder, the Party initiating the claim or request for emergency relief shall not be required
to demonstrate that it has no adequate remedy at law in respect of the relief sought and shall not be required to post a bond
or other security.


 


1.04
Confidentiality.


 


Each
Party in any arbitration conducted hereunder shall keep any Dispute and the proceedings relating thereto confidential and shall
not publish or disclose to any person or entity, other than those persons or entities involved in the proceedings, the existence
of the arbitration, any information submitted during or in the arbitration, any pleading or other document submitted in connection
therewith, any oral submissions or testimony, transcripts, or any award, unless and to the extent that such disclosure is required
by law or is necessary for the recognition or enforcement of any order or arbitration award. In addition thereto, the parties
to any Dispute in any arbitration hereunder shall be subject to the confidentiality rules contained in the ICDR Rules.


 


1.05
Enforcement; Limitations on Remedies.


 


(a)
Any order or award issued by the Arbitral Tribunal or other arbitrator or neutral appointed by the ICDR hereunder, including any
interim measure or emergency relief granted to a Party, shall be considered an international award under the U.S. Federal Arbitration
Act and the 1958 U.N. Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards (New York Convention) and may be
confirmed and enforced in accordance therewith. Any such order or award may be enforced, and any interim measures or emergency
relief required by a Party may be obtained in aid of arbitration or to protect the status quo or the interests or property of
the Parties prior to or during the pendency of arbitration, in or from the courts located in the United States or Canada or in
any other court having jurisdiction over the subject matter hereof and of the Parties.


   


(b)
Each of the Parties hereby submits to the ICDR in __________________ as the forum for the resolution of any Dispute and to the
jurisdiction of the courts sitting in the United States for the enforcement of any order or award issued by the Arbitral Tribunal
or by any arbitrator or neutral appointed by the ICDR or the issuance of interim measures or emergency relief. Service of process
in any arbitral or judicial action or proceeding instituted hereunder may be made upon the Parties, or any of them, by delivering
a request for arbitration or other pleading or document, using the methods set forth in the “Notice” provisions contained
in this Agreement, to a Party at the address for such Party as listed therein.


 


(c)
In any arbitration (or other legal action) involving a Dispute, no Party shall be liable for or assert any claim for consequential,
incidental, special or punitive damages. Each Party shall pay its own costs and expenses incurred in any arbitration hereunder
or in any civil action to enforce arbitration, including attorneys’ fees and the fees and expenses of its experts and witnesses.
