2.1Gannett Media Obligations.

2.1.1During the Term and as more particularly set forth on Schedule B, and subject to applicable Law, Gannett Media agrees to provide Tipico advertising, marketing, promotions, events and services that are crafted to promote Tipico, Tipico’s brand and the Tipico Gambling Services within the Gannett Media Group’s assets within the USA and Canada, including the following, to the extent offered or operated in the USA and Canada (collectively, the “GM Assets”): (a) the print media owned or published by Gannett Media Group in the USA and Canada, (b) the GM Sites, (c) through its subscription products, video content productions, and podcasts owned, or controlled by Gannett Media Group and (d) through events (i.e., festivals, races, events, expo and experiences, etc.) that Gannett Media Group owns or controls (collectively, the “GM Promotions”). It is understood that Gannett Media is not guaranteeing any particular results with respect to the GM Promotions. Furthermore, it is understood that notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Gannett Media shall have complete editorial independence and discretion and full control over its editorial decisions related to news, articles, opinions, news events and similar content on any platform and in any media, but specifically excluding advertising.

2.1.2Subject to Section 3.2, Tipico shall have the right to elect and control which GM Promotions are provided during the Term in accordance with Schedule B, which schedule may be updated from time to time by the Parties. In the event the Gannett Media Group grants to any other Person pricing with respect to assets and service as it provides Tipico with respect to the GM Promotions that are more favorable to such Person than those provided to Tipico, Tipico shall receive that same pricing. The Parties further acknowledge that, given the duration of the Term and changes in the Law, the GM Promotions may evolve during the Term and the Parties agree to continually discuss in good faith additions, deletions or revisions to the GM Promotions.

2.1.3To the extent Gannett Media sells, discontinues or for other reasons is no longer able to include a GM Asset upon which it will engage in the GM Promotions, then the Parties shall discuss and mutually agree upon either (a) substitute GM Assets of equal or greater value as part of the GM Promotions or (b) some other equitable adjustment to the Media Fee or any other aspect of compensation hereunder, including, if applicable, a reimbursement of amounts paid by Tipico.

2.1.4All GM Promotions are subject to prior written approval from Tipico (email to the applicable Account Manager being sufficient), not to be unreasonably withheld and, as appropriate, shall use Tipico Content and be branded or co-branded with the Tipico Mark as set forth on Schedule B. Except as expressly contemplated by Schedule B, the inclusion of any Tipico Content in any GM Promotion is subject to Gannett Media’s prior approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided however that Gannett Media shall have complete editorial independence and discretion and full control over its editorial decisions related to news, articles, opinions, news events and similar content on any platform and in any media, but specifically excluding advertising. For any material changes to the Tipico Content with respect to any GM Promotions proposed by Gannett Media, Gannett Media will submit such change to Tipico prior making such change, and Tipico will notify Gannett Media of any objection thereto within 3 days after receipt of such proposal. If no objection is received within such 3 day-period, Gannett Media may publish the GM Promotion as proposed. Tipico shall be responsible for ensuring that all GM Promotions comply with Gaming Laws or, subject to Gannett Media’s compliance with Section 2.4.2, that a “self excluded” person will not be contacted by a member of the Gannett Media Group in connection with a GM Promotion.

2.1.5With 30 days of advance written notice to the other Party, either Party shall have the right to exclude any particular GM Assets from this Agreement (each, an “Excluded GM Asset”), if in good faith such Party believes (a) such GM Asset is not appropriate for the Tipico Content, as a result of the jurisdiction(s) that is the focus of such GM Assets not permitting the Gambling Services which are the focus of the Tipico Gambling Services, provided, any GM Asset that has a multijurisdictional focus (i.e., USA TODAY) should not become an Excluded GM Asset simply because there are jurisdictions within the focus of such GM Assets that do not permit the Gambling Services which are the focus of the Tipico Gambling Services or (b) inclusion of such Tipico Content in such GM Assets will violate the Law or the Gannett Guidelines, which Gannett Guidelines shall at all timed

    
    Page 2 of 31

during the Term be applied on a non-discriminatory basis to all Persons advertising or using the GM Assets. Further, Tipico may notify Gannett Media in writing to remove or limit the duration of use of any GM Promotion at any time and from time to time and Gannett Media shall promptly comply with such notice. In addition, Gannett Media may immediately suspend a GM Asset(s), GM Promotion(s) and/or GM Link(s) if it reasonably believes such GM Asset, GM Promotion or GM Link to be in violation of any Law or the Gannett Guidelines. In such case, Gannett Media will provide Tipico with as much notice as practicable, or if notice is not able to be provided before such suspension, will provide notice as promptly as possible after such suspension, including the reason for such suspension. The Parties will cooperate in good faith to determine if any such suspension needs to be made permanent or whether changes can be made to address the reason for the suspension such that the GM Asset, GM Promotion and/or GM Link may be restored. In the event of an Excluded Asset or suspension of a GM Asset, GM Promotion or GM Link, then Parties shall discuss and mutually agree upon either (a) substitute GM Assets of equal or greater value as part of the GM Promotions or (b) some other equitable adjustment to the Media Fee or any other aspect of compensation hereunder, including, if applicable, a reimbursement of amounts paid by Tipico.

Article 5

5.1Gaming Jurisdictions. Each state or other jurisdiction in the USA or Canada in which the Tipico Gambling Services operates as of any such time of determination is referred to as a “Gaming Jurisdiction.” As of the Effective Date, the Gaming Jurisdictions include: Colorado and New Jersey. It is anticipated that other Gaming Jurisdictions will be added throughout the Term as Tipico expands the Tipico Gambling Services. Tipico will notify Gannett Media in writing (email to the applicable Account Manager being sufficient) at least 60 days before the expansion of the Tipico Gambling Services into a new Gaming Jurisdiction.

5.2Gannett Media Licensure.

5.2.1Gannett Media may be required to file or obtain registrations, approvals or licenses to market and promote the Tipico Gambling Services as contemplated herein and to be entitled to the benefits under this Agreement, including the Upfront Fee, Media Fee or CPA Payment, with or from Gaming Authorities under the applicable Gaming Laws of each Gaming Jurisdictions (each such registration, approval, license or authorization, a “Vendor License”). Gannett Media shall be solely responsible, at its sole cost and expense, for obtaining and maintaining any necessary Vendor Licenses; provided, Tipico will use its commercially reasonable efforts to assist Gannett Media in obtaining any required Vendor License if requested by Gannett Media.

5.2.2Gannett Media will submit a complete filing or application for any required Vendor License for a new Gaming Jurisdiction within 30 days after being notified by Tipico of the expansion into that Gaming Jurisdiction; provided, however, with respect to the Gaming Jurisdictions as of the Effective Date, as set forth in Section 5.1, Gannett Media shall submit an application for a Vendor License to the relevant Gaming Authority, as required, within 30 days after the Effective Date.

5.2.3The Parties acknowledge that to the extent Gannett Media does not hold the necessary Vendor License in a Gaming Jurisdiction (including any interim authorization or license temporary, if applicable), Tipico shall not be obligated to pay any amounts, including the CPA Payment on any Qualified Player in such Gaming Jurisdiction if and only if making any such payments in such event is prohibited by a Gaming Authority or Gaming Laws, unless and until Gannett Media obtains such required Vendor License (including any interim authorization or license temporary, if applicable), which can happen at any time during the Term. The Parties do not, as of the Effective Date of this Agreement, believe that the burden of obtaining and maintaining a Vendor License

for payment of the Upfront Fee, Media Fee or CPA Payment is onerous on Gannett Media. If the Vendor License that Gannett Media would be required to obtain in order to promote the Tipico Gambling Services, receive the Upfront Fee, Media Fee or CPA Payment, and otherwise perform under this Agreement in that Gaming Jurisdiction would be a Major License, and if Gannett Media determines in its good faith but sole judgement that it cannot or does not desire to obtain or maintain a Major License in that Gaming Jurisdiction, then the Parties shall, in good faith, mutually agree upon an amendment to this Agreement reflecting an alternative economic or operational arrangement that permits Gannett Media to obtain a less restrictive Vendor License (which is not a Major License or is otherwise), with the intent of putting the Parties in the same position, as to rights, obligations and economics, in which it would have been had it been able to obtain the contemplated Vendor License. In no event shall this Section 5.2.3 modify any rights or obligations.

Article 6

FEES & ACCOUNTING

6.1Upfront Consideration.

6.1.1In consideration for entering into this Agreement, Tipico shall pay Gannett Media an amount of $10,000,000 (the “Upfront Fee”). Subject to Gannett Media’s receipt of all requisite Gaming Approvals, the Upfront Fee shall be paid within 30 days following the Effective Date. Payment shall be made via electronic or wire transfer at Gannett Media’s option elected at least three Business Days prior to such payment.

6.1.2On the Effective Date, Gannett SB, Inc., a Delaware corporation and member of the Gannett Media Group, shall be granted a warrant for a $0.00 strike price to acquire up to 4,990 shares of common stock of Tipico U.S. Group Corp, a Delaware corporation and parent company to Tipico (the “Tipico Stock”), representing a minority interest in Tipico, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein and substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 1, to be executed by the applicable parties (the “Tipico Warrant”).

6.2Media Fee. In exchange for the rights granted and services provided hereunder, Tipico shall pay to Gannett Media an aggerate amount of $80,000,000 (the “Media Fee”) over the Term as provided in Schedule B.

6.3CPA Payment. Pursuant to Schedule E, Tipico shall pay Gannett Media the CPA Payment for each Qualified Player Gannett Media generates during the Term in excess of 15,000 Qualified Players. In any event of a Chargeback, Credit or suspected underage gambler (proven or not verified to be over 21), such an Qualified Player will not be considered for the purpose of the this Agreement for a CPA, and any CPA Payment made to Gannett Media in respect of such Qualified Player shall be deducted from future payments to Gannett Media. Gannett Media will have access to a reporting portal, allowing for real time reporting of Qualified Players (24 hour delayed). Tipico shall deliver to Gannett Media a reasonably detailed written report, monthly in arrears setting forth the aggregate CPA Payments owed to Gannett Media for such month. Within 30 days of the end of such month, Tipico shall pay Gannett Media the CPA Payments due and owing for such month. Payment shall be made via electronic or wire transfer, at Gannett Media’s option elected at least three Business Days prior to such payment. For clarity, Gannett Media shall only be entitled to receive one CPA Payment for a specified end-user with regard to one Tipico Online Service and Gannett Media shall not receive an additional CPA Payment for such end-user with regard to any other Tipico Online Service. For the sake of clarity and solely as an example, in the event an end-user is an Qualified Player who registers on the Tipico Online Service in New Jersey for an online sportsbook with respect to whom Tipico owes or has paid to Gannett Media a CPA Payment, then Gannett Media shall not be eligible to receive a second CPA Payment for such end-user even in the event that he/she subsequently opens, funds, and placed a paid wager via another Tipico Online Service, including its online casino product in New Jersey or its online sportsbook in Colorado.

6.4Withholding; Taxation. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent Tipico has any withholding obligation with respect to any payment made pursuant to this Agreement, it shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the payments to be made pursuant to this Agreement any taxes required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payments under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), regulations promulgated thereunder or any other provision of applicable Law and to request any reasonably necessary tax forms including IRS Form W-9 or the appropriate series of IRS Form W-8, as

    
    Page 9 of 31

applicable, or any similar information for the purpose of determining whether such withholding is required. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and deducted pursuant to this Section 6.4 and paid to the proper Governmental Entity, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to Gannett Media in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made. Tipico will agree to provide to Gannett Media whatever certificates or forms are required to be provided to Gannett Media under applicable Law and, to the extent that Tipico is required to withhold and remit amounts to a third party under applicable Law and fails to do so, then Tipico shall be liable for any fees, charges, penalties, costs, levies, assessments and the interest due as a result of such failure. To the extent a withholding obligation arises with respect to other than a cash payment, Gannett Media shall make arrangements satisfactory to Tipico for payment of any taxes required to be withheld in excess of any future cash payment due to Gannett Media. Tipico shall give Gannett Media sufficient notice of such obligations in order that such Party can provide any applicable forms to Gannett Media. Gannett Media represents that it uses the accrual method of accounting for tax purposes; therefore, pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(f)(1), the compensatory arrangements pursuant to this Agreement are not subject to requirements of the statutory provisions of Section 409A of the Code and any Treasury Regulations and other interpretive guidance issued thereunder. Gannett Media is solely responsible for all tax liabilities imposed on Gannett Media under the Code or any other applicable Law, and no provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted or construed to transfer any such liability from Gannett Media or any of its subsidiaries, affiliates or successors to Tipico or any of its subsidiaries, affiliates or successors.

6.5Right to Audit. Both Parties will keep and maintain accurate books of account and records in accordance with their normal procedures covering all transactions relating to this Agreement. Each Party is entitled, at its sole cost and expense, to: (a) audit such books and records up to one time each calendar year, upon at least 30 days’ prior written notice to the other Party or by either Party or its internal or external auditors based upon a reasonable belief that there may have been a violation of Law or breach of this Agreement, by sending an authorized representative, agent, attorney or accountant to the then current business address of the other Party where records are maintained; and (b) make or cause such authorized representative, agent, attorney or accountant to make copies and summaries of such books and records for use in auditing only (such books and records, and copies and summaries, will be deemed Confidential Information). The Parties agree to reasonably cooperate, answer reasonable questions, and provide reasonably requested information by the other Party’s auditors. All such information provided by a Party to the other Party pursuant to Article 8 shall constitute Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party. Any such audit shall be at the auditing Party’s expense; provided however that if discrepancy is found, the Party receiving the benefit of the error shall promptly pay to the other Party the amount in question and if such discrepancy is an underpayment in excess of 5% of the amount owed to the auditing Party for the period being examined, the audited Party shall pay the auditing Party’s reasonable costs of such audit (provided such audit shall not be done on a contingency fee basis). The acceptance of any report or amounts hereunder shall not prejudice or restrict the rights of a Party to conduct an audit hereunder.

Article 12

TERM & TERMINATION

12.1Term. Unless terminated earlier pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the term of this Agreement will begin as of the Effective Date and continue until the fifth anniversary of the Co-Branding Date (the “Term”). The Parties agree to enter into an exclusive good faith negotiation period commencing on the date that is 6 months prior to expiration of the Term and continuing for ninety (90) days, or such other time agreed to by the Parties in writing, thereafter (the “Exclusive Extension Negotiation Period”) regarding the possible extension or renewal of this Agreement. If the Parties are unable to reach an agreement regarding an extension or renewal during such Exclusive Extension Negotiation Period, the Parties agree that Gannett Media can enter into an agreement to provide exclusive advertising and promotional rights consistent to what is provided in this Agreement to a Person operating in the Exclusivity Category following the expiration of the Term (a “Third Party Agreement”) provided such Third Party Agreement is, in Gannett Media’s good faith opinion, more beneficial, in the aggregate taking into consideration the entire economic package to Gannett Media than Tipico’s last written offer to Gannett Media during such Exclusive Extension Negotiation Period. If such Third Party Agreement is, in Gannett Media’s good faith opinion, less beneficial, in the aggregate taking into consideration the entire economic package to Gannett Media than Tipico’s last written offer to Gannett Media during such Exclusive Extension Negotiation Period, then Gannett Media shall have promptly provide written notice to Tipico, including reasonable detail of the material, including financial, terms of such Third Party Operating Agreement (the “Matching Extension Notice”). Tipico shall have thirty (30) days of receiving such Matching Extension Notice to provide Gannett Media with written notice of its intent to match such Third Party Agreement offer. If Tipico fails to provide such written notice to match such Third Party Agreement, then Gannett Media can execute a Third Party Agreement, which shall not be effective until expiration of the Term.

12.2Early Termination.

12.2.1Either Party may terminate this Agreement if the other Party (a) fails to cure any material breach of this Agreement within 30 days (or 5 days for payment breaches), after written notice; provided, if such cure cannot be reasonably accomplished with such 30-day period and the breaching Party shall in good faith have commenced such cure within such 30-day period and shall thereafter proceed diligently to completion, then such 30-day period shall be 180-days; or (b) seeks protection under any bankruptcy, receivership, trust deed, creditors’ arrangement, composition, or comparable proceeding, or if any such proceeding is instituted against that Party (and not dismissed within 60 days thereafter).

12.2.2Either Party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement immediately upon notice to the other Party in the event the terminating Party determines in its reasonable judgment that: (a) any Law relating to wagering or other games, make it impossible, illegal, or otherwise materially affect Tipico’s ability to continue operating Tipico Gambling Services within the USA or Canada; (b) the other Party or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, designees, or representatives is or might be engaged in, or about to be engaged in, any activity, or is or has been involved in, any relationship which does or could jeopardize the terminating Party or any of its Affiliates Gaming Approvals that it holds or will be obtaining, could subject the terminating Party or any of its Affiliates to any significant fines, penalties or other damages with respect to any Gaming Approval; (c) the existence of this Agreement jeopardizes or may jeopardize businesses or licenses of a member of the terminating Party or any of its Affiliates, could subject any member of the terminating Party or any of its Affiliates to any fines, penalties or other damages or could materially negatively affect the terminating Party or any of its Affiliates Gaming Approvals; (d) any of members of the terminating Party or any of its Affiliates Gaming Approvals are threatened to be, or are denied, curtailed, suspended, or revoked as a result of the terminating Party’s relationship with the other Party under this Agreement; or (e) pursuant Section 2.1.1 or Section 13.2.

12.3Effect of Termination. Upon termination or expiration of this Agreement: (a) all licenses and grants of right under this Agreement will terminate unless otherwise specified; and (b) each Party must immediately

    
    Page 20 of 31

destroy (or return to the other if requested by such other Party) all Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party (except to the extent such information is archived in such Party’s computer system in accordance with its company retention policy, provided that such Party shall not access, use, or otherwise refer to such retained information); (c) Tipico will not be obligated to make any further payments to Gannett Media with the exception that Tipico will continue to pay CPA Payment, if any, and to the extent applicable, for Qualified Players acquired prior to the termination of this Agreement and other outstanding payments and payments accrued to date; and (d) this Section 12.3 (Effect of Termination), Article 7 (Intellectual Property), Article 8 (Confidentiality), Article 11 (Indemnification) and Article 15 (Miscellaneous), will survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement, as well as any other section expressly stated herein to survive termination or expiration of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if this Agreement is terminated early by Tipico pursuant to Section 12.2.1 or Section 12.2.2, then Gannett Media shall refund any Upfront Fee or Media Fees, adjusted proportionally prorated for benefits not received as of the effective date of termination for the annual period in which the termination date occurs. The right of termination as a result of Sections 12.2.1 does not prejudice or limit the rights of the aggrieved Party to exercise its rights under the Warrant Agreement or to claim damages it may have suffered as a result thereof.

Article 13

INVESTIGATION AND GOVERNMENT APPROVALS

13.1Investigation. As a holder of privileged gaming licenses, Tipico is required to adhere to strict laws and regulations regarding vendor, supplier, provider, operator, licensee and other business relationships, including its relationship with Gannett Media. Tipico may, in its sole discretion, require Gannett Media to submit to Tipico certain information in conjunction with a diligence investigation of Gannett Media, to be conducted at Tipico’s sole expense (a “Diligence Investigation”) and Gannett Media shall promptly comply with any such reasonable requests.

13.2Gaming Approval. The Agreement is subject to all applicable Gaming Laws. Gannett Media acknowledges that Tipico, Tipico’s Affiliates and certain of their respective affiliates are license holders or applicants for licensure by, and subject to the authority of, the applicable Gaming Authorities. Gannett Media understands that Tipico will submit this Agreement to each applicable Gaming Authority as necessary or advisable in Tipico’s sole discretion for review and approval. If (a) any Gaming Authority disapproves the Agreement or its terms and conditions and (b) notwithstanding Gannett Media’s compliance with Section 5.2.2, Gannett Media does not obtain necessary approval from the applicable Gaming Authority in a Gaming Jurisdiction within 45 days of Tipico launching its Tipico Gambling Service in such Gaming Jurisdiction (or 45 days of the Effective Date with respect to the Gaming Jurisdictions as of the Effective Date, as set forth in Section 5.1), as a result of (a) or (b), Gannett Media cannot engage in the GM Promotions as contemplated herein in such Gaming Jurisdiction, then this Agreement shall be deemed terminated as it relates to the applicable Gaming Jurisdiction and the Parties (i) shall discuss in good faith equitable adjustments to Media Fee taking into various factors, including the demographics of such Gaming Jurisdiction as compared to the other Gaming Jurisdictions, and (ii) agree Tipico shall not have any further liability or financial obligation to Gannett Media with respect to such Gaming Jurisdiction, including payment of the CPA Payment for Qualified Players on Tipico Online Services within such Gaming Jurisdiction. If the Parties are unable to agree on such equitable adjustment to the Media Fee, then Tipico can terminate this Agreement.

13.3Laws.

13.3.1Each Party shall perform its respective obligations in compliance with all applicable Laws. Without limiting the foregoing, Gannett Media agrees to comply with its Vendor Licenses or other requirements, as applicable, to process and timely provide all information requested by Tipico either in conjunction with a Diligence Investigation or in order for Tipico to successfully complete and file any required disclosure or registration or notice with any Gaming Authority and any other forms or reports and maintain all licenses required to be filed or maintained pursuant to the Gaming Laws or to any rules, regulations, resolutions or orders promulgated by the Gaming Authority, as the same may be modified, amended or supplemented from time to time. In addition, Gannett Media agrees to provide Tipico with any information which it, in its reasonable discretion, deems necessary to (a) enable Tipico to file any required reports, (b) maintain any licenses of Tipico required to be filed or maintained pursuant to the Gaming Laws, or (c) comply with any regulatory compliance policy (as now in effect or hereafter adopted and as amended from time to time) and with the request of any Gaming Authority.

    
    Page 21 of 31

13.3.2The Parties agree that if Tipico is notified by any Gaming Authority that Gannett Media has not cooperated with the Gaming Authority’s requests in any material respect, and if the compliance committee of Tipico’s board of directors (or other comparable governing body having ultimate responsibility for overseeing Tipico’s compliance with Gaming Laws) determines, in its reasonable judgment, that Tipico’s continued business association with Gannett Media could result in a material adverse regulatory action taken against Tipico or its business interests, then Tipico shall be entitled to immediately terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 12.2.2.

Article 14

DISPUTE RESOLUTION

14.1Negotiation. In the event of any controversy or claim arising from or relating to this Agreement, the Parties will use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve the matter. To this end, all matters will initially be brought before the Steering Committee. To the extent that the Steering Committee is unable to resolve the issue, representatives of the Parties having an interest in the matter (collectively, the “Participating Parties”), will consult and negotiate with each other in good faith and, recognizing their mutual interests, attempt to reach a just and equitable solution satisfactory to all Participating Parties. If they do not reach such solution within a period of 10 Business Days from the date of their first meeting, then either Participating Party may commence. Any controversy or claim relating to a Party’s Intellectual Property is not subject to this Section 14.1 and may be filed in accordance with Section 14.2.2.

14.2Formal Arbitration.

14.2.1If a matter is not resolved by the conclusion of the negotiation period referred to in Section 14.1, then the Parties shall resolve the dispute by binding arbitration administered by American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under the AAA Commercial Arbitration Rules then in effect before a panel of three arbitrators. The Party seeking arbitration shall deliver a written request for arbitration to the other Party (the “Arbitration Notice”). The Arbitration Notice shall include the name and contact information of one arbitrator who is acceptable to such Party, but which shall have experience in the media and/or gambling/Sports Betting industry, who may not be affiliated with such Party. Within 10 days after receipt of the Arbitration Notice, the other Party shall provide the Party that triggered the arbitration with the name and contact information of one arbitrator who is acceptable to such Party, who may not be affiliated with such Party but which shall have experience in the media and/or gambling/Sports Betting industry. Within ten (10) days after receipt of the notice for the second arbitrator, the two arbitrators shall jointly select a third arbitrator who may not be affiliated with either Party but shall have experience in the sports and sports betting industry. If the arbitrators cannot agree on the third arbitrator, then the third arbitrator shall be selected by the AAA. The Parties and arbitrators shall use good faith efforts to commence the arbitration within 60 days after the arbitration panel has been selected, at a time and place mutually agreed upon by the Parties. If the disputing Parties cannot agree upon the time and place for the Arbitration, the arbitration panel shall make such determinations. The decision rendered by the panel shall determine the rights and obligations of the Parties according to and consistent with the terms of this Agreement and the arbitrators shall have the authority to award damages and provide for other remedies as are available at law or in equity, provided, that the arbitrators may not order this Agreement, as applicable, terminated unless (a) the terms of such agreement permit termination as a remedy or (b) no other remedy would be just and equitable. All expenses, fees and administrative costs of the arbitrators and the Arbitration shall be borne half by each Party unless agreed otherwise in writing; provided, however, each Party shall pay its own legal fees and expenses related to its expert witnesses and consultants.

14.2.2A Party may only institute proceedings in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware and only for one or more of the following reasons: (a) to enforce any arbitral award issued by the Arbitrators; (b) to the extent not available in a timely fashion under the AAA Rules of Arbitration, to seek a temporary restraining order, immediate injunctive relief or specific performance without the posting of a bond or other security or proof of irreparable harm; (c) to bring an action because a third party necessary to the resolution of the dispute cannot or will not be joined in the proceedings described in this Section 14.2; (d) to resolve a dispute relating to the Party’s Intellectual Property or (e) to compel arbitration pursuant to this Section 14.2. Notwithstanding the foregoing, relief pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section 14.2.2) shall (i) be permitted if, and only if a Party makes a determination that the other Party has breached or is about to breach this Agreement, and (ii)

    
    Page 22 of 31

not extend beyond such time as is necessary for the Arbitrators to issue a decision as to the propriety of such provisional relief (at which point, the relief granted by such court shall no longer apply to the dispute between the Parties). If the conditions set forth in this Section 14.2.2 have been met, the Parties consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue in such courts to the greatest extent allowed by Law. If a Party files a pleading with a court as set forth in this Section 14.2.2 seeking immediate injunctive relief and this pleading is challenged by the other Party, and the injunctive relief sought is not awarded, or if the Third Party claimed to be necessary for resolution of the alleged dispute is found not to be necessary, the Party that filed the pleading shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) incurred by the other Party in connection with that other Party’s successful challenge. Any provisional relief obtained pursuant to this Section 14.2.2 shall be limited as appropriate to preserve the jurisdiction of the AAA to resolve the dispute between the Parties.

Article 15
