        WHEREAS, each of the Parties and their respective affiliates are currently owners of, and in possession of, certain Intellectual Property Rights (as defined herein), which Intellectual Property Rights may have been
          developed or acquired by such Party independently, or jointly with either or both the other Parties, or assigned to it by either or both of the other Parties prior to the date hereof;

         

        WHEREAS, a result of the corporate relationship between each of the Parties, and not necessarily pursuant to a written agreement, prior to the date hereof, each Party has had access to, and the right to use certain
          Intellectual Property Rights of one or both of the other Parties as required for its business;

         

        WHEREAS, in connection with the transactions contemplated by the SDA, the Parties wish to confirm their respective ownership of certain Intellectual Property Rights (as defined herein), and with respect to certain

          Party agrees that to the extent such Party is the beneficiary of a Future Affiliate Provision, such Party hereby waives and disclaims, and will not seek to enforce or claim the benefit of, such Future Affiliate Provision, such waiver, disclaimer
          and covenant being for the sole benefit of the other Parties, their Party Groups, and their future Affiliates.

          Party Group will:  (a) hold all Confidential Information in confidence, using the same degree of care such receiving member uses to protect its own confidential information of a similar nature, but in no event less than a reasonable degree of
          care, including sharing Confidential Information internally only on a “need to know” basis, (b) not disclose Confidential Information to any third party, other than as permitted with respect to Licensed Intellectual Property Rights pursuant to Section

          United Technologies Companies, dated July 26, 2012 (the “UTC NDA”), will terminate as among UTC and the other members of the UTC Group, Otis and the other members of the Otis Group, and Carrier and the other members of the Carrier Group,

        7.2         No Additional Obligations.  Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, this Agreement does not create any obligation
          on the part of any of the Parties to provide or create any of the following with respect to the Intellectual Property Rights owned, transferred, granted or licensed under this Agreement:  (a) explanations, corrections, revisions, improvements,
          upgrades, technical assistance, maintenance, installation, debugging, or any other support; or (b) tangible embodiments, documents, information, software, data or any other items, deliverables or services.

         

        7.3         DISCLAIMER.  EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THIS AGREEMENT, THE SDA OR ANY OTHER ANCILLARY AGREEMENT, (A) EACH OF THE
          PARTIES CONVEYS INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT SOLELY ON AN “AS IS,” “WHERE IS” AND “WITH ALL FAULTS” BASIS, AND (B) NONE OF THE PARTIES MAKES, AND EACH HEREBY EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS, ANY REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND
          WITH RESPECT TO SUCH INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY WITH RESPECT TO MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, COMPLETENESS OR SUFFICIENCY, OR EXPORTABILITY, OR WITH

          in no event shall any Party or its Affiliates, under any circumstances, be liable or obligated in any manner to another Party or its Affiliates for any consequential, special, incidental, exemplary, indirect, punitive or similar damages, or for
          any loss of future revenue, profits or income, or for any diminution in value damages measured as a multiple of earnings, revenue or any other performance metric arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated in
          this Agreement, even if such Party or its Affiliate is informed in advance of the possibility of such damages occurring and regardless of whether or not the damages were foreseeable and regardless of the theory or cause of action upon which any
          damages might be based.  This limitation is separate and independent of any other remedy limitations and shall not fail if any such other limitation fails.  The foregoing shall not be deemed to modify or limit any rights or remedies to the extent
          arising under the SDA, any other Ancillary Agreement or any Excluded Agreement.

        ARTICLE VIII

         

        

        GOVERNING LAW AND DISPUTE RESOLUTION

         

        

        8.1          Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State
          of Delaware, without regard to any conflict or choice-of-law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware.

         

        8.2          Alternative Dispute Resolution.  Any dispute, controversy or claim between or among the Parties (whether sounding in
          contract, tort, or otherwise) arising out of or resulting from this Agreement, including the meaning of its provisions or the performance of any such provisions by a Party, its breach, termination, invalidity or otherwise (each, a “Dispute”)
          will be resolved in accordance with the procedures specified in this Article VIII, which will be the sole and exclusive procedure for the resolution of any such Dispute.

         

        8.2.1       Negotiations.  The Parties will attempt in good faith to resolve any Dispute promptly by
            negotiations among executives of the Parties who have authority to settle the Dispute.  The disputing Party will give the other Party or Parties, as applicable, written notice of the Dispute.  Within twenty (20) days after receipt of said
            notice, the receiving Party or Parties will submit to the other a written response.  The notice and response will include:  (a) a statement of each Party’s position and a summary of the evidence and arguments supporting that position, and (b)
            the name and title of the executive who will represent that Party.  The executives will meet at a mutually acceptable time and place within thirty (30) days of the date of the disputing Party’s notice and thereafter as often as they reasonably
            deem necessary to exchange relevant information and to attempt to resolve the Dispute.

         

        8.2.2       Arbitration.  If a Dispute has not been resolved within sixty (60) days of the date of the
            disputing Party’s notice, any Party desiring a non-negotiated resolution shall refer the Dispute to binding arbitration pursuant to the then-current commercial arbitration rules and supplementary procedures of commercial arbitration of the
            American Arbitration Association (the “AAA Rules”).  The arbitral tribunal shall be composed of a single arbitrator appointed in accordance with the AAA Rules in
            any matter in which an injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief is not requested and the value of the relief any Party seeks (whether by claim or counterclaim) does not exceed three million United States dollars (US
            $3,000,000).  In all other matters, including any matter in which an injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief is requested, the arbitral tribunal shall be composed of a panel of three (3) arbitrators appointed in accordance
            with the AAA Rules.  The arbitration shall take place in New York, New York.  Each Party will bear its own expenses (including attorneys’ fees), and the Parties will share equally the compensation and expenses of the arbitrators and the
            arbitration.  Any arbitration award will be final and shall be enforceable in any court of competent jurisdiction.

         

        8.3         Confidentiality.  All negotiations, and all statements made and documents provided or exchanged in connection with an
          arbitration under Section 8.2.2 will be confidential.  Except with the prior written consent of the other Party or Parties in the Dispute, as applicable, none of the Parties will disclose the existence or content of the Dispute, or the
          results of any

         

        
          15

          
            


        

        dispute resolution process, to third parties other than (a) as may be required by law or legal process after having provided the other Party or Parties with notice thereof and the opportunity to seek a protective order over such information,
          or (b) to outside counsel and tax, financial, and accounting professionals in connection with the Dispute.

         

        8.4         Equitable Relief.  The Parties acknowledge and agree that monetary damages (even if available) may not be an adequate
          remedy in the event that a Party does not perform the provisions of this Agreement in accordance with their specified terms or otherwise breaches any provisions of this Agreement.  Accordingly, and notwithstanding any other provision of this
          Agreement, any Party will be entitled to seek from the arbitrator or arbitration tribunal, and the arbitrator or arbitration tribunal will be empowered to grant, an injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief (whether preliminary,
          permanent, temporary, conservatory or otherwise, and including temporary restraining orders) to prevent such breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms hereof, in addition to any other remedy to which such Party is entitled
          at law or in equity.  The Party alleging the breach shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such award, but the Parties reserve all rights to otherwise contest the propriety of any award of injunctive
          relief.  In addition, and notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, any Party will be entitled to seek in a court of competent jurisdiction an injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this
          Agreement pending an arbitration under Section 8.2.2.

         

        ARTICLE IX

         

        

        GENERAL PROVISIONS

         

        

        9.1          Entire Agreement; Conflict Among Agreements.  This Agreement, together with the SDA, the other Ancillary Agreements and
          the Exhibits and Schedules hereto and thereto, constitute the entire agreement among the Parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and supersede any prior discussion, correspondence, negotiation, proposed term sheet, agreement,
          understanding or arrangement with respect to such subject matter, and there are no agreements, understandings, representations or warranties among the Parties other than those set forth or referred to in this Agreement with respect to such
          subject matter.  In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and the provisions of the SDA or any other Ancillary Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall control, provided, however, that (a) in
          the event of a conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and the provisions of the Transition Services Agreement, the conflicting provisions of the Transition Services Agreement shall control over the conflicting provisions of this
          Agreement, and (b) nothing in this Agreement limits any of the representations, warranties or indemnity obligations under the SDA or any other Ancillary Agreement.  In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and any
          agreement that was entered into at any time prior to the Effective Time between or among members of different Party Groups that is not an Excluded Agreement, the conflicting provisions of this Agreement shall control.

         

        9.2          Assignment and Change of Control; Successor and Assigns

         

        9.2.1       No Party may directly or indirectly sell, assign or otherwise transfer (whether by asset or stock sale, merger, reorganization or
            otherwise) any or all of its rights or

         

        
          16

          
            


        

        delegate any or all of its obligations under this Agreement without the express prior written consent of the other Parties, except as follows:

         

        (a)          Otis or Carrier may (i) freely sell, assign or otherwise transfer, in whole or from time to time in part, Assigned Intellectual Property
            Rights assigned to it hereunder; and (ii) sell, assign or otherwise transfer, in whole or from time to time in part, its rights and obligations under this Agreement (A) to any Affiliate of Otis or Carrier, respectively, (B) to any financing
            entity, in connection with the grant of a revocable security interest necessary for financing, or (C) to a Person acquiring (whether by asset or stock sale, merger, reorganization or otherwise) all or substantially all of the relevant business
            of Otis or Carrier, respectively, that agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement; but any such transfer or assignment will not relieve Otis or Carrier, respectively, of any of its obligations hereunder.

         

        (b)          UTC may (i) freely sell, assign or otherwise transfer, in whole or from time to time in part, Assigned Intellectual Property Rights
            assigned to it hereunder; and (ii) sell, assign or otherwise transfer, in whole or from time to time in part, its rights under this Agreement (A) to any member of the UTC Group, (B) to any financing entity, in connection with the grant of a
            revocable security interest necessary for financing, or (C) to a Person acquiring (whether by asset or stock sale, merger, reorganization or otherwise) all or substantially all of the relevant business of UTC that agrees to be bound by the
            terms and conditions of this Agreement; but any such transfer or assignment will not relieve UTC of any of its obligations hereunder.

         

        9.2.2       Any purported sale, assignment or other transfer in contravention of this Section 9.2 shall be null and void.

         

        9.2.3       Subject to Section 9.2.1 and Section 9.2.2, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors, assigns and transferees.

         

        9.3          Bankruptcy.  All licenses granted under this Agreement will be deemed licenses of rights to intellectual property for
          purposes of Section 365(n) of the United States Bankruptcy Code and a licensee under this Agreement will retain and may fully exercise all of its rights and elections under the United States Bankruptcy Code.

         

        9.4         Amendments and Waivers.  This Agreement may not be modified or amended, except by an instrument or instruments in writing
          signed by the Party against whom enforcement of any such modification or amendment is sought.  Any Party to this Agreement may, only by an instrument in writing, waive compliance by the other Parties with any term or provision of this Agreement
          on the part of such other Parties to this Agreement to be performed or complied with.  The waiver by any Party to this Agreement of a breach of any term or provision of this Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach. 
          No failure or delay by any Party in exercising any right or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right,
          power or privilege.  Subject to Section 3.3, the rights and remedies herein provided shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.
