breach of Sections 5 (Ownership), or 7 (Confidentiality and Privacy), any claim, controversy or dispute between Individual Independent Contractor and TiVo or TiVo’s agents, employees, officers, or directors will be resolved by
arbitration in Santa Clara County, California. A single arbitrator engaged in the practice of law will conduct the arbitration under the then current rules of the American Arbitration Association. The Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1, et
seq., not state law, governs the arbitrability of all claims. Unless otherwise required to render this Section 12.1 (Dispute Resolution) enforceable, the arbitrator has authority to award compensatory damages only. The arbitrator’s
award will be final and binding and may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Unless otherwise required to render this Section 12.1 (Dispute Resolution) enforceable, each Party will bear its own costs and attorneys’
fees. Any arbitration proceedings will be governed by California law without regard to conflict of laws provisions. 
 12.2
Governing Law and Venue. This Agreement will be construed and interpreted according to the laws of the State of California without regard to conflict of laws provisions. Each Party must comply, at its own expense, with the provisions of all
federal, state and local laws, regulations, ordinances, requirements and codes that are applicable to the performance of the Services hereunder. Any non-arbitrable disputes under this Agreement will be brought in the state courts and the Federal
courts located in Santa Clara County, California, and the Parties hereby consent to the personal jurisdiction and venue of these courts. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 12 (General), TiVo may seek injunctive
relief from any court of competent jurisdiction to prevent a breach of this Agreement. 
 12.3 Assignment. Individual
Independent Contractor will not assign her/his rights nor delegate her/his obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of TiVo and any purported assignment without such consent must be deemed null and void. This Agreement is
binding upon and inures to the benefit of each Party’s respective permitted successors and assigns. 
 12.4 Notices.
For purposes of communication, approval, or authorization concerning any matter pursuant to this Agreement, all communications will be in writing, or if oral will be reduced to writing, and made by overnight courier, first class U.S. Mail, or
personal service; if to TiVo, then to the attention of “General Counsel” at TiVo’s address first written above, and if to Individual Independent Contractor, to their address first written above. Either Party may change its address by
giving written notice to the other Party. 
 12.5 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of
which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same original until such time as two fully executed originals of this Agreement bearing the Parties’ signatures are produced, at which time the
counterpart executions shall cease to have any effect. 
 12.6 Waiver. The failure of any Party to require performance by
the other Party of any provision hereof shall not affect the full right to require such performance at any time thereafter; nor shall the waiver by a Party of a breach of any provision hereof be taken or held to be a waiver of the provision itself.

 12.7 Severability. In the event that any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof becomes or is
declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement will continue in full force and effect and the application of such provision to other persons or circumstances will be interpreted so
as reasonably to effect the intent of the Parties. The Parties further agree to replace such void or unenforceable provision of this Agreement with a valid and enforceable provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business
and other purposes of such void or unenforceable provision. 
 12.8 Entire Agreement. This Agreement sets forth the
entire agreement and supersedes any and all prior agreements, written or oral, between the Parties with respect to the Services set forth herein. In the event of a conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and any exhibits, the terms of this
Agreement will prevail. Neither Party is bound by, and each Party specifically objects to, any term, condition or other provision that is different from or in addition to the provisions of this Agreement (whether or not it would materially alter
this Agreement) and which is proffered by the other Party in any correspondence or other document, unless the Party to be bound thereby specifically agrees to such provision in writing.

Services confidential and shall not use such TiVo Confidential Information on behalf of Discovery Communications or any other third party. Mr. Zaslav shall advise TiVo immediately upon becoming aware of any such conflict of interest between his
