provided in this Section 5.4(b) and (c), the remedies set forth in any other

ARTICLE VI

DISPUTES AND ARBITRATION





SECTION 6.1. Efforts to Resolve by Mutual Agreement.



Any dispute, action, claim or controversy of any kind arising from or in connection with this
Agreement or the relationship of the parties under this Agreement (the “Dispute”) whether based on
contract, tort, common law, equity, statute, regulation, order or otherwise, shall be resolved as
follows:



(a) Upon written request of either FCE or POSCO Power, the parties shall meet and attempt to
resolve any such Dispute. Such meetings may take place via teleconference or videoconference.



(b) The parties shall meet as often as the parties reasonably deem necessary to discuss the
problem in an effort to resolve the Dispute without the necessity of any formal proceeding.


 


14









 





(c) Formal proceedings for the resolution of a Dispute may not be commenced until the earlier
of (i) the Parties concluding in good faith that amicable resolution through continued negotiation
of the matter does not appear likely; or (ii) the expiration of a sixty (60) day period immediately
following the initial request by either party to resolve the Dispute; provided,
however, that this Section 6.1 will not be construed to prevent a party from
instituting formal proceedings earlier to avoid the expiration of any applicable limitations
period, to preserve a superior position with respect to other creditors or to seek temporary or
preliminary injunctive relief.



SECTION 6.2. Arbitration. If the Parties are unable to resolve any Dispute, pursuant
to Section 6.1 above and except as otherwise specified in Section 6.4, the Dispute shall be
finally settled under the Rules of Arbitration (the “Rules”) of the International Chamber
of Commerce (“ICC”) by three (3) arbitrators designated by the parties. Each party shall
designate one arbitrator. The third arbitrator shall be designated by the two arbitrators
designated by the parties. If either party fails to designate an arbitrator within thirty (30) days
after the filing of the Dispute with the ICC, such arbitrator shall be appointed in the manner
prescribed by the Rules. An arbitration proceeding hereunder shall be conducted in London, U.K.,
and shall be conducted in the English language. The decision or award of the arbitrators shall be
in writing and is final and binding on both parties. The arbitration panel shall award the
prevailing party its attorneys’ fees and costs, arbitration administrative fees, panel member fees
and costs, and any other costs associated with the arbitration; provided, however,
that if the claims or defenses are granted in part and rejected in part, the arbitration panel
shall proportionately allocate between the parties those arbitration expenses in accordance with
the outcomes. The arbitration panel may only award damages as provided for under the terms of this
Agreement and in no event may punitive, consequential and special damages (or as otherwise
specified in this Agreement, including, without limitation, Section 6.3) be awarded. In the
event of any conflict between the Rules and any provision of this Agreement, this Agreement shall
govern.



SECTION 6.3. Limitation on Recoverable Damages. In no event shall the measure of
damages payable by either party under or in connection with this Agreement or the transactions or
arrangements contemplated hereby include, nor will either party be liable for, any amounts for loss
of income, profit or savings or indirect, incidental, consequential, exemplary, punitive or special
damages of any party, including third parties, whether or not foreseeable, even if such party has
been advised of the possibility of such damages in advance, and all such damages are expressly
disclaimed. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the parties hereto shall be
entitled to seek specific performance or injunctive relief in connection with any material breach
by another party of its obligations under this Agreement.



SECTION 6.4. Specific Performance. The parties acknowledge and agree that the FCE
Technology is unique and further acknowledge and agree that POSCO Power will suffer irreparable
harm, which is not compensable by monetary damage, in the event the FCE Technology has not been
fully transferred to POSCO Power at the time of the termination of this agreement due to a material
breach by FCE of this Agreement.
Accordingly, the parties agree that POSCO Power shall be entitled to an injunction or
injunctions to enforce specifically the transfer of the FCE Technology to POSCO Power in accordance
with Article IX of the
Technology Transfer Agreement, in addition to any other remedy to which it may be entitled under
this Agreement.

ARTICLE VII

CONFIDENTIALITY




This confidentiality provision supplements, but does not replace, the confidentiality
provisions of the other Transaction Agreements. As used in this Agreement, the term “confidential
information” means any and all trade secrets and other confidential information and know-how
related directly or indirectly to a party’s business or its products and services, which is not
covered by the confidentiality provisions of other Transaction Agreements. Each party shall hold
each other’s confidential information in confidence and shall not use or disclose any confidential
information, or permit any person to examine or copy any confidential information, regardless of
the manner in which such party gained access to it, except as necessary for the performance of its
obligations under this Agreement, including, without limitation, to such party’s legal advisors,
financial advisors and accountants. Each party’s obligation of confidentiality with respect to
confidential information supplied by the other hereunder shall not include or extend to information
which: (i) at the date such information is disclosed to the recipient is generally known by or
available to the public; (ii) after such information is disclosed to the recipient becomes
generally known or available to the public, through no fault of the recipient; (iii) becomes
available or is known to the recipient prior to the time of it being disclosed to the recipient as
evidenced by the written records of the recipient and was not received directly or indirectly from
the provider; (iv) became or becomes available to the recipient from an independent third party who
is not bound by a confidentiality agreement with the provider; or (v) is required to be disclosed
by the recipient to a third party in response to a subpoena or order of a court or an
administrative agency, provided that the recipient shall inform the provider promptly so that the
provider shall have an opportunity to seek a protective order and the recipient shall not interfere
with the provider’s lawful efforts to obtain said protective order. POSCO Power shall use best
efforts to require, as a condition precedent to any agreement with respect to the sale, lease or
such similar transaction of any FCE Product or POSCO Product, the purchaser, lessor, customer or
any such party of such transaction (x) to agree and (y) to use such party’s good faith efforts to
cause any subsequent purchaser, lessor, customer or such similar party thereof, in each case, to be
bound to confidentiality obligations substantially similar to the terms hereof.



ARTICLE VIII


INDEMNIFICATION



SECTION 8.1. Claims. This indemnification provision supplements, but does not
replace, the indemnification provisions of the other Transaction Agreements. For purposes of this
Agreement, “Claim” shall mean any liability, claim, suit, demand, loss, damage, judgment, and
expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs and the cost of settlement), that is not
covered by the indemnification provisions of other Transaction Agreements.



SECTION 8.2. Indemnification by POSCO. POSCO Power shall indemnify, defend, and hold
harmless FCE and its representatives, successors and permitted assigns from and against any and all
Claims made or threatened by any third party and all related losses, expenses,
damages, costs and liabilities, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred in
investigation or defense of such claims (“Damages”), to the extent such Damages relate to or arise
out of (i) any breach of or any inaccuracy in any representation or warranty made by POSCO Power in
this Agreement or (ii) any breach of or failure by POSCO Power to perform or comply with any of its
covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement.


 


16









 





SECTION 8.3. Indemnification by FCE. FCE shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless
POSCO Power and its representatives, successors and permitted assigns from and against any and all
Claims made or threatened by any third party and all related Damages, to the extent such Damages
relate to or arise out of (i) any breach of or any inaccuracy in any representation or warranty
made by FCE in this Agreement or (ii) any breach of or failure by FCE to perform or comply with any
of its covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement.



SECTION 8.4. Indemnification Procedure. In the event a Claim by a third party for
which indemnification may be available under this Agreement is made or filed against a party, the
party against which the claim, suit or proceeding is made (the “Indemnified Party”), shall
promptly notify the other party (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing of the claim, suit or
proceeding. The Indemnifying Party, within thirty (30) days, or such shorter period as is required
to avoid any prejudice in the claim, suit or proceeding, after the notice, may elect to defend,
compromise, or settle the third party claim, suit or proceeding at its expense. In any third party
claim, suit or proceeding which the Indemnifying Party has elected to defend, compromise or settle,
the Indemnifying Party shall not after the election be responsible for the expenses, including
counsel fees, of the Indemnified Party but the Indemnified Party may participate therein and retain
counsel at its own expense. In any third party claim, suit or proceeding the defense of which the
Indemnifying Party shall have assumed, the Indemnified Party will not consent to the entry of any
judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the matter without the consent of the
Indemnifying Party and the Indemnifying Party will not consent to the entry of any judgment or
enter into any settlement affecting the Indemnified Party to the extent that the judgment or
settlement involves more than the payment of money without the written consent of the Indemnified
Party. The Indemnified Party shall provide to the Indemnifying Party all information, assistance
and authority reasonably requested in order to evaluate any third party claim, suit or proceeding
and effect any defense, compromise or settlement.



ARTICLE IX


MISCELLANEOUS



SECTION 9.1. Certain Expenses. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, each
party shall bear and pay its own costs and expenses incurred in connection with the performance by
such party of its obligations hereunder.



SECTION 9.2. Independent Contractors. The parties are independent contractors, and
nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as (a) giving either party the
power to direct and control the day-to-day activities of the other, (b) constituting either
party as a partner, a joint venture, a co-owner or a fiduciary of the other or (c) creating any
other form of legal association that would impose liability on one party for the act or failure to
act of the other or as providing either party with the right, power or authority (express or
implied) to create any duty
or obligation of the other.


 


17









 





SECTION 9.3. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Technology Transfer Agreement and

are not fully expressed in this Agreement other than those representations, understandings or
agreements contained in the other Transaction Agreements.



SECTION 9.4. Amendments; Waiver. Any changes or modifications to this Agreement may
not be made orally, but only by a written amendment executed and delivered by both parties. Any
terms and conditions varying from this Agreement on any notification from either party are not
binding on the other unless specifically accepted in writing by the other. A delay or omission by
either party to exercise any right or power under this Agreement will not be construed to be a
waiver thereof. No waiver of any breach of any provision of this Agreement will constitute a waiver
of any prior, concurrent or subsequent breach of the same or any other provision hereof.



SECTION 9.5. Binding Nature; Assignment. This Agreement will be binding upon and inure
to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Neither party
may, nor will it have the power to, assign this Agreement, or any part hereof, without the prior
written consent of the other party, except that the parties acknowledge and agree that POSCO Power
may, without assuming any obligations set forth in this Agreement and the other Transaction
Agreements, assign its rights and obligations to NewCo without consent of FCE. In the event of any
other assignment of this Agreement by either party, the assignee shall assume, in writing (in form
and substance reasonably satisfactory to the other party), the rights and obligations of the
assigning party under this Agreement.



SECTION 9.6. No Third Party Beneficiaries. Except as expressly contemplated herein,
this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each party hereto and
nothing in this Agreement is intended to confer upon any other person or entity any rights or
remedies of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.



SECTION 9.7. Notices. All notices pursuant to this Agreement shall be in writing and
