any Disputes submitted pursuant to this Section 9.2. Such Dispute Committee members and other applicable executives shall meet in person or by teleconference or video conference within forty (40) days of the date of
the Initial Notice to seek a resolution of the Dispute. In the event that the Dispute Committee and other applicable executives are unable to agree to a format for such meeting, the meeting shall be convened in person at a mutually acceptable
location in New York, New York. 
 9.3 Arbitration. 

(a) Unless the Parties agree to continue negotiations between senior executives, any Dispute not finally resolved pursuant to
Section 9.2 within sixty (60) days from the delivery of the Initial Notice shall be finally settled under the Rules of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce (the “ICC Rules”).

  
 10 

 (b) Unless otherwise agreed by the Parties in writing, any Dispute to be decided in
arbitration hereunder shall be decided (i) before a sole arbitrator if the amount in dispute, inclusive of all claims and counterclaims, totals less than $10,000,000; or (ii) by an arbitral tribunal of three (3) arbitrators if the
amount in dispute, inclusive of all claims and counterclaims, is equal to or greater than $10,000,000. 
 (c) The language of the
arbitration shall be English. The place of arbitration shall be New York, New York. Unless the Parties agree otherwise in writing, the Parties shall conduct the arbitration as quickly as is reasonably practicable and shall use commercially
reasonable efforts to ensure that the time between the date on which the sole arbitrator is confirmed or the tribunal is constituted, as the case may be, and the date of the commencement of the evidentiary hearing does not exceed one-hundred and eighty (180) days. Failure to meet the foregoing timeline will not render the award invalid, unenforceable or subject to being vacated, but the arbitrators may impose appropriate sanctions and
draw appropriate adverse inferences against the Party primarily responsible for such failure. 
 (d) The sole arbitrator or arbitral
tribunal shall not award any relief not specifically requested by the Parties. 
 (e) In addition to the ICC Rules, the Parties agree that
the arbitration shall be conducted according to the IBA Rules of Evidence. 
 (f) The agreement to arbitrate any Dispute set forth in this
Section 9.3 shall continue in full force and effect subsequent to, and notwithstanding the completion, expiration or termination of, this Agreement. 

(g) Without prejudice to this binding arbitration agreement, each Party to this Agreement irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself
and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Delaware and the federal courts sitting within the State of Delaware in connection with any post-award proceedings or court proceedings in aid of arbitration that are
authorized by the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16). Judgment upon any awards rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The Parties waive all
objections that they may have at any time to the laying of venue of any proceedings brought in such courts, waive any claim that such proceedings have been brought in an inconvenient forum and further waive the right to object with respect to such
proceedings that any such court does not have jurisdiction over such Party. 
 (h) It is the intent of the Parties that the agreement to
arbitrate any Dispute set forth in this Section 9.3 shall be interpreted and applied broadly such that all reasonable doubts as to arbitrability of a Dispute shall be decided in favor of arbitration. 

(i) The Parties agree that any Dispute submitted to arbitration shall be governed by, and construed and interpreted in accordance with Laws of
the State of Delaware, as provided in Section 10.2 and, except as otherwise provided in this Article IX or mutually agreed to in writing by the Parties, the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§ 1 et seq.,
shall govern any arbitration between the Parties pursuant to this Section 9.3. 

  
 11 

 (j) The sole arbitrator or arbitral tribunal shall award to the prevailing Party, if any,
the costs of the arbitrator or tribunal, expert witness fees, and attorneys’ fees reasonably incurred by such prevailing Party or its Affiliates in connection with the arbitration. 

(k) The Parties undertake to keep confidential all awards in their arbitration, together with all materials in the proceedings created for the
purpose of the arbitration and all other documents produced by another Party in the proceedings not otherwise in the public domain, save and to the extent that disclosure may be required of a Party by legal duty, to protect or pursue a legal right
or to enforce or challenge an award in legal proceedings before a court or other judicial authority.

 ARTICLE VIII. 

DISPUTE RESOLUTION 
 8.1
General Provisions. 
 (a) Any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement, including with
respect to the validity, interpretation, performance, breach or termination of this Agreement, shall be resolved in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Article VIII (a “Dispute”), which shall be the sole
and exclusive procedures for the resolution of any such Dispute unless otherwise specified in this Article VIII. 

  
 6 

 (b) EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS
AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE IT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY BASED UPON, RELATING TO OR
ARISING FROM THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (I) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD
NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE SUCH WAIVER, (II) IT UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF SUCH WAIVER, (III) IT MAKES SUCH WAIVER VOLUNTARILY AND (IV) IT HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY,
AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 8.1(B). 
 (c) The specific procedures set forth in
this Article VIII, including the time limits referenced herein, may be modified by agreement of both of the Parties in writing. 

(d) Commencing with the Initial Notice contemplated by Section 8.2, all applicable statutes of limitations and
defenses based upon the passage of time shall be tolled while the procedures specified in this Article VIII are pending. The Parties shall take any necessary or appropriate action required to effectuate such tolling. 

(e) Commencing with the Initial Notice contemplated by Section 8.2, any communications between the Parties or their
Representatives in connection with the attempted negotiation of any Dispute shall be deemed to have been delivered in furtherance of a Dispute settlement and shall be exempt from disclosure and production, and shall not be admissible into evidence
for any reason (whether as an admission or otherwise), in any arbitral or other proceeding for the adjudication of any Dispute; provided, that evidence that is otherwise subject to disclosure or admissible shall not be rendered outside the
scope of disclosure or inadmissible as a result of its use in the negotiation. 
 8.2 Negotiation by Steering Committee and Senior
Executives. The Parties shall seek to settle amicably all Disputes by negotiation. The Parties shall first attempt in good faith to resolve the Dispute by negotiation among the members of the Steering Committee within thirty (30) days
after written notice is received by either Party regarding the existence of a Dispute (the “Initial Notice”). If the Steering Committee is unable to resolve the Dispute within such thirty
(30)-day period, the Parties shall then attempt in good faith to resolve the Dispute by negotiation between executives designated by the Parties who hold, at a minimum, the office of Senior Vice President
and/or General Counsel (such designated executives, the “Dispute Committee”). The Parties agree that the members of the Dispute Committee shall have full and complete authority on behalf of their respective Parties to resolve
any Disputes submitted pursuant to this Section 8.2. Such Dispute Committee members and other applicable executives shall meet in person or by teleconference or video conference within forty (40) days of the date of
the Initial Notice to seek a resolution of the Dispute. In the event that the Dispute Committee and other applicable executives are unable to agree to a format for such meeting, the meeting shall be convened in person at a mutually acceptable
location in New York, New York. 

  
 7 

 8.3 Arbitration. 

(a) Unless the Parties agree to continue negotiations between senior executives, any Dispute not finally resolved pursuant to
Section 8.2 within sixty (60) days from the delivery of the Initial Notice shall be finally settled under the Rules of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce (the “ICC Rules”).

 (b) Unless otherwise agreed by the Parties in writing, any Dispute to be decided in arbitration hereunder shall be decided
(i) before a sole arbitrator if the amount in dispute, inclusive of all claims and counterclaims, totals less than $10,000,000; or (ii) by an arbitral tribunal of three (3) arbitrators if the amount in dispute, inclusive of all claims
and counterclaims, is equal to or greater than $10,000,000. 
 (c) The language of the arbitration shall be English. The place of
arbitration shall be New York, New York. Unless the Parties agree otherwise in writing, the Parties shall conduct the arbitration as quickly as is reasonably practicable and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the time between
the date on which the sole arbitrator is confirmed or the tribunal is constituted, as the case may be, and the date of the commencement of the evidentiary hearing does not exceed one-hundred and eighty
(180) days. Failure to meet the foregoing timeline will not render the award invalid, unenforceable or subject to being vacated, but the arbitrators may impose appropriate sanctions and draw appropriate adverse inferences against the Party
primarily responsible for such failure. 
 (d) The sole arbitrator or arbitral tribunal shall not award any relief not specifically
requested by the Parties. 
 (e) In addition to the ICC Rules, the Parties agree that the arbitration shall be conducted according to the
IBA Rules of Evidence. 
 (f) The agreement to arbitrate any Dispute set forth in this Section 8.3 shall continue
in full force and effect subsequent to, and notwithstanding the completion, expiration or termination of, this Agreement. 
 (g) Without
prejudice to this binding arbitration agreement, each Party to this Agreement irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Delaware and the federal courts
sitting within the State of Delaware in connection with any post-award proceedings or court proceedings in aid of arbitration that are authorized by the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16).
Judgment upon any awards rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The Parties waive all objections that they may have at any time to the laying of venue of any proceedings brought in such courts, waive any
claim that such proceedings have been brought in an inconvenient forum and further waive the right to object with respect to such proceedings that any such court does not have jurisdiction over such Party. 

(h) It is the intent of the Parties that the agreement to arbitrate any Dispute set forth in this Section 8.3 shall
be interpreted and applied broadly such that all reasonable doubts as to arbitrability of a Dispute shall be decided in favor of arbitration. 

  
 8 

 (i) The Parties agree that any Dispute submitted to arbitration shall be governed by, and
construed and interpreted in accordance with Laws of the State of Delaware, as provided in Section 9.2 and, except as otherwise provided in this Article VIII or mutually agreed to in writing by the Parties, the
Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§ 1 et seq., shall govern any arbitration between the Parties pursuant to this Section 8.3. 

(j) The sole arbitrator or arbitral tribunal shall award to the prevailing Party, if any, the costs of the arbitrator or tribunal, expert
witness fees, and attorneys’ fees reasonably incurred by such prevailing Party or its Affiliates in connection with the arbitration. 

(k) The Parties undertake to keep confidential all awards in their arbitration, together with all materials in the proceedings created for the
purpose of the arbitration and all other documents produced by another Party in the proceedings not otherwise in the public domain, save and to the extent that disclosure may be required of a Party by legal duty, to protect or pursue a legal right
or to enforce or challenge an award in legal proceedings before a court or other judicial authority.

rights hereunder shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by (and against) the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.
