2.7 Novation of Assumed Company Liabilities.

(a) Each of GECC and the Company, at the request of the other, shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain, or to cause to be obtained, any consent, substitution, approval or amendment required to novate or assign all obligations under agreements, leases, licenses and other obligations or Liabilities of any nature whatsoever that constitute Company Liabilities, or to obtain in writing the unconditional release of all parties to such arrangements other than any member of the Company Group, so that, in any such case, the Company and its Subsidiaries will be solely responsible for such Liabilities; provided, however, that neither GECC nor the Company shall be obligated to pay any consideration therefor to any third party from whom any such consent, approval, substitution or amendment is requested.

(b) If GECC or the Company is unable to obtain, or to cause to be obtained, any such required consent, approval, release, substitution or amendment, the applicable member of the GE Group shall continue to be bound by such agreement, lease, license or other obligation and, unless not permitted by Law or the terms thereof, the Company shall, as agent or subcontractor for GECC or such other Person, as the case may be, pay, perform and discharge fully all the obligations or other Liabilities of GECC or such other Person that constitute Company Liabilities, as the case may be, thereunder from and after the Closing Date. The Company shall indemnify each GE Indemnified Party, and hold each of them harmless against any Liabilities arising in connection therewith, in accordance with the provisions of Article VI. GE shall, without further consideration, pay and remit, or cause to be paid or remitted, to the Company, promptly, all money, rights and other consideration received by it or any member of the GE Group in respect of such performance (unless any such consideration is an Excluded Asset). If and when any such consent, approval, release, substitution or amendment shall be obtained or such agreement, lease, license or other rights or obligations shall otherwise become assignable or able to be novated, GE shall thereafter assign, or cause to be assigned, all its rights, obligations and other Liabilities thereunder or any rights or obligations of any member of the GE Group to the Company without payment of further consideration and the Company shall, without the payment of any further consideration, assume such rights and obligations.

21

(b) If GE, GECC or the Company is unable to obtain, or to cause to be obtained, any such required consent, approval, release, substitution or amendment, the applicable member of the Company Group shall continue to be bound by such agreement, lease, license or other obligation and, unless not permitted by Law or the terms thereof, GECC shall cause a member of the GE Group, as agent or subcontractor for such member of the Company Group, to pay, perform and discharge fully all the obligations or other Liabilities of such member of the Company Group thereunder from and after the Closing Date.

If and when any such consent, approval, release, substitution or amendment shall be obtained or such agreement, lease, license or other rights or obligations shall otherwise become assignable or able to be novated, the Company shall promptly assign, or cause to be assigned, all its rights, obligations and other Liabilities thereunder or any rights or obligations of any member of the Company Group to GECC or to another member of the GE Group specified by GECC without payment of further consideration and GECC, without the payment of any further consideration shall, or shall cause such other member of the GE Group to, assume such rights and obligations.

No Party will destroy, or permit any of its Subsidiaries to destroy, any Information which the other Party may have the right to obtain pursuant to this Agreement prior to the fifth anniversary of the date hereof without first using its reasonable efforts to notify the other Party of the proposed destruction and giving the other Party the opportunity to take possession of such Information prior to such destruction; provided, however, that in the case of any Information relating to Taxes or employee benefits, such period shall be extended to the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations (giving effect to any extensions thereof); provided further, however, no Party will destroy, or permit any of its Subsidiaries to destroy, any Information required to be retained by applicable Law.

5.15 Liability. No Party shall have any liability to any other Party in the event that any Information exchanged or provided pursuant to this Agreement which is an estimate or forecast, or which is based on an estimate or forecast, is found to be inaccurate in the absence of willful misconduct by the Party providing such Information. No Party shall have any liability to any other Party if any Information is destroyed after reasonable best efforts by such Party to comply with the provisions of Section 5.14.

5.16 Other Agreements Providing for Exchange of Information.

(a) The rights and obligations granted under this Article V are subject to any specific limitations, qualifications or additional provisions on the sharing, exchange, retention or confidential treatment of Information set forth in any Transaction Document.

(b) When any Information provided by one Group to the other (other than Information provided pursuant to Section 5.14) is no longer needed for the purposes contemplated by this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or is no longer required to be retained by applicable Law, the receiving party will promptly after request of the other party either return to the other party all Information in a tangible form (including all copies thereof and all notes, extracts or summaries based thereon) or certify to the other party that it has destroyed such Information (and such copies thereof and such notes, extracts or summaries based thereon).

5.17 Production of Witnesses; Records; Cooperation.

(a) After the Closing Date, except in the case of an adversarial Action by one Party against another Party, each of GECC and the Company shall use its reasonable efforts to make available to each other Party, upon written request, the former, current and future directors, officers, employees, other personnel and agents of the members of its respective Group as witnesses and any books, records or other documents within its control or which it otherwise has the ability to make available, to the extent that any such person (giving consideration to business demands of such directors, officers, employees, other personnel and agents) or books, records or other documents may reasonably be required in connection with any Action or IP Application in which the requesting Party may from time to time be involved, regardless of whether such Action or IP Application is a matter with respect to which indemnification may be sought hereunder. The requesting Party shall bear all costs and expenses in connection therewith.

38

(b) If an Indemnifying Party chooses to defend or to seek to compromise or settle any Third-Party Claim, the other parties shall make available to such Indemnifying Party, upon written request, the former, current and future directors, officers, employees, other personnel and agents of the members of its respective Group as witnesses and any books, records or other documents within its control or which it otherwise has the ability to make available, to the extent that any such person (giving consideration to business demands of such directors, officers, employees, other personnel and agents) or books, records or other documents may reasonably be required in connection with such defense, settlement or compromise, or the prosecution, evaluation or pursuit thereof, as the case may be, and shall otherwise cooperate in such defense, settlement or compromise, or such prosecution, evaluation or pursuit, as the case may be.

(c) Without limiting the foregoing, GECC and the Company shall cooperate and consult to the extent reasonably necessary with respect to any Actions.

(d) Without limiting any provision of this Section 5.17, each of GECC and the Company agrees to cooperate, and to cause each member of its respective Group to cooperate, with each other in the defense of any infringement or similar claim with respect any intellectual property and shall not claim to acknowledge, or permit any member of its respective Group to claim to acknowledge, the validity or infringing use of any intellectual property of a third Person in a manner that would hamper or undermine the defense of such infringement or similar claim except as required by Law.

(e) The obligation of GECC and the Company to provide witnesses pursuant to this Section 5.17 is intended to be interpreted in a manner so as to facilitate cooperation and shall include the obligation to provide as witnesses inventors and other officers without regard to whether the witness or the employer of the witness could assert a possible business conflict (subject to the exception set forth in the first sentence of Section 5.17(a)).

(f) In connection with any matter contemplated by this Section 5.17, GECC and the Company will enter into a mutually acceptable joint defense agreement so as to maintain to the extent practicable any applicable attorney-client privilege, work product immunity or other applicable privileges or immunities of any member of any Group.

5.18 Privilege. The provision of any information pursuant to this Article V shall not be deemed a waiver of any privilege, including privileges arising under or related to the attorney-client privilege or any other applicable privilege (a “Privilege”). Following the Closing Date, neither the Company or any member of the Company Group nor GECC or any member of the GE Group will be required to provide any information pursuant to this Article V if the provision of such information would serve as a waiver of any Privilege afforded such information.

5.19 Reasonable. For the purposes of this Article V, any request for information shall be deemed reasonable in content or timing if such request is consistent with past practices.

39

40

(c) Nothing contained in Section 6.1(a) or Section 6.1(b) shall impair any right of any Person to enforce this Agreement, any Transaction Document or any agreements, arrangements, commitments or understandings that are specified in Section 2.4(b) or the applicable Schedules thereto not to terminate as of the Closing Date, in each case in accordance with its terms. Nothing contained in Section 6.1(a) or Section 6.1(b) shall release any Person from:

(i) any Liability provided in or resulting from any agreement among any members of the GE Group or the Company Group that is specified in Section 2.4(b) or the applicable Schedules thereto not to terminate as of the Closing Date, or any other Liability specified in such Section 2.4(b) not to terminate as of the Closing Date;

(iv) any Liability for unpaid amounts for services or refunds owing on services due on a value-received basis for work done by a member of one Group at the request or on behalf of a member of the other Group; or

(v) any Liability that GECC and the Company may have with respect to indemnification or contribution pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise, including for claims brought against GECC and the Company by third Persons (which third person claims shall be governed by the provisions of this Article VI and, if applicable, the appropriate provisions of the Transaction Documents).

In addition, nothing contained in Section 6.1(a) shall release GECC and any member of the GE Group from indemnifying and advancing expenses to any director, officer or employee of the Company who was a director, officer or employee of any member of the GE Group or any of their Affiliates on or prior to the Closing Date (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any indemnification or advancement of expenses obligations in respect of the Initial Public Offering), to the extent such director, officer or employee is or becomes a named defendant in any Action with respect to which he or she was entitled to such indemnification or advancement of expenses pursuant to then existing obligations.

(d) The Company shall not make, and shall not permit any member of the Company Group to make, any claim or demand, or commence any Action asserting any claim or demand, including any claim of contribution or any indemnification, against GECC or any member of the GE Group, or any other Person released pursuant to Section 6.1(a), with respect to any Liabilities released pursuant to Section 6.1(a). GECC shall not, and shall not permit any member of the GE Group, to make any claim or demand, or commence any Action asserting any claim or demand, including any claim of contribution or any indemnification against the Company or any member of the Company Group, or any other Person released pursuant to Section 6.1(b), with respect to any Liabilities released pursuant to Section 6.1(b).

41

(e) It is the intent of each of GE, GECC and the Company, by virtue of the provisions of this Section 6.1, to provide for a full and complete release and discharge of all Liabilities existing or arising from all acts and events occurring or failing to occur or alleged to have occurred or to have failed to occur and all conditions existing or alleged to have existed on or before the Closing Date, between or among the Company or any member of the Company Group, on the one hand, and GE, GECC or any member of the GE Group, on the other hand (including any contractual agreements or arrangements existing or alleged to exist between or among any such members on or before the Closing Date), except as expressly set forth in Sections 6.1(a), (b) and (c). At any time, at the request of any other Party, each Party shall cause each member of its respective Group to execute and deliver releases reflecting the provisions hereof.

6.2 General Indemnification by the Company. Except (i) as provided in Section 6.5 or (ii) as required by applicable Law, the Company shall, and shall cause the other members of the Company Group to, indemnify, defend and hold harmless on an After-Tax Basis each member of the GE Group and each of their respective directors, officers and employees, and each of the heirs, executors, successors and assigns of any of the foregoing (collectively, the “GE Indemnified Parties”), from and against any and all Liabilities of the GE Indemnified Parties relating to, arising out of or resulting from any of the following items (without duplication):

(a) the failure of the Company or any other member of the Company Group or any other Person to pay, perform or otherwise promptly discharge any Company Liabilities or Company Contract in accordance with its respective terms, whether prior to or after the Closing Date;

(b) any Company Liability or any Company Contract;

(c) the Guarantees and, except to the extent it relates to an Excluded Liability, any other guarantee, indemnification obligation, surety bond or other credit support agreement, arrangement, commitment or understanding by any member of the GE Group for the benefit of any member of the Company Group that survives the Closing;

(d) any breach by any member of the Company Group of this Agreement or any of the Transaction Documents (other than the Transaction Documents set forth on Schedule 6.2(d)) or any action by the Company in contravention of its Charter or Amended and Restated Bylaws; and

(e) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any GE Public Filing or any other document filed with the SEC by any member of the GE Group pursuant to the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that those Liabilities are caused by any such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission based upon information that is either furnished to any of the GE Indemnified Parties by any member of the Company Group or incorporated by reference by any GE Indemnified Party from any filings made by any member of the Company Group with the SEC pursuant to the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, and then only if that statement or omission was made or occurred after the Closing Date.

42

6.3 General Indemnification by GECC. Except (i) as provided in Section 6.5 or (ii) as required by applicable Law, GECC shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless on an After-Tax Basis each member of the Company Group and each of their respective directors, officers and employees, and each of the heirs, executors, successors and assigns of any of the foregoing (collectively, the “Company Indemnified Parties”), from and against any and all Liabilities of the Company Indemnified Parties relating to, arising out of or resulting from any of the following items (without duplication):

(a) the failure of any member of the GE Group or any other Person to pay, perform or otherwise promptly discharge any Liabilities of the GE Group other than the Company Liabilities, whether prior to or after the Closing Date or the date hereof;

(b) any Excluded Liability or any Liability of a member of the GE Group other than the Company Liabilities;

(c) any breach by any member of the GE Group of this Agreement or any of the Transaction Documents (other than the Transaction Documents set forth on Schedule 6.3(c)); and

(d) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any document filed with the SEC by any member of the Company Group pursuant to the Securities Act or the Exchange Act other than the Registration Statements, or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that those Liabilities are caused by any such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission based upon information that is either furnished to any member of the Company Indemnified Parties by any member of the GE Group or incorporated by reference by any Company Indemnified Party from any GE Public Filings or any other document filed with the SEC by any member of the GE Group pursuant to the Securities Act or the Exchange Act.

6.4 Registration Statement Indemnification.

(a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless on an After-Tax Basis the GE Indemnified Parties and each Person, if any, who controls any member of the GE Group within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (collectively, the “Registration Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all Liabilities arising out of or based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement or Prospectus, or arising out of or based upon any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as such Liabilities arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission which has been made therein or omitted therefrom in reliance upon and in conformity with (i) the information set forth in the IPO Registration Statement, that GECC agrees in writing

43

was furnished by a member of the GE Group, (ii) the information set forth in any other Registration Statement that GECC agrees in writing was furnished by a member of the GE Group and (iii) information relating to any underwriter furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of such underwriter expressly for use in the Registration Statement or Prospectus.

(b) Each Registration Indemnified Party agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless on an After-Tax Basis the Company and its Subsidiaries and any of their respective directors or officers who sign any Registration Statement, and any person who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company to each Registration Indemnified Party, but only with respect to the information set forth in a Registration Statement, that GECC agrees in writing was furnished by a member of the GE Group, or as agreed in writing by GECC as provided by Section 6.4(a)(ii). For purposes of this Section 6.4(b), any information relating to any underwriter that is contained in a Registration Statement or Prospectus shall not be deemed to be information relating to a Registration Indemnified Party. If any Action shall be brought against the Company or its Subsidiaries, any of their respective directors or officers, or any such controlling person based on any Registration Statement or Prospectus and in respect of which indemnity may be sought against a Registration Indemnified Party pursuant to this paragraph (b), such Registration Indemnified Party shall have the rights and duties given to the Company by Section 6.5 hereof (except that if the Company shall have assumed the defense thereof, such Registration Indemnified Party shall not be required to, but may, employ separate counsel therein and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at such Registration Indemnified Party’s expense), and the Company, its directors or officers and any such controlling person shall have the rights and duties given to such Registration Indemnified Party by Section 6.5 hereof.

6.5 Contribution.

(a) If the indemnification provided for in this Article VI is unavailable to, or insufficient to hold harmless on an After-Tax Basis, an indemnified party under Section 6.2(e), Section 6.3(d) or Section 6.4 hereof in respect of any Liabilities referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such Liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party in connection with the actions which resulted in Liabilities as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such indemnifying party and indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by such indemnifying party or indemnified party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. For the purposes of this Section 6.5(a), the information set forth in the IPO Registration Statement or any other Registration Statement that is described by GECC in writing pursuant to Section 6.4(a)(i) or as agreed in writing as provided by Section 6.4(a)(ii), as applicable, shall be the only “information supplied by” such Registration Indemnified Parties.

(b) GECC and the Company agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 6.5 were determined by a pro rata allocation or by any other

44

method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in paragraph (a) above. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the Liabilities referred to in paragraph (a) above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating any claim or defending any Action. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 6.5, a Registration Indemnified Party shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the proceeds to such Registration Indemnified Party exceeds the amount of any damages which such Registration Indemnified Party has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

6.6 Indemnification Obligations Net of Insurance Proceeds and Other Amounts, On an After-Tax Basis.

(a) Any Liability subject to indemnification or contribution pursuant to this Article VI will be net of Insurance Proceeds that actually reduce the amount of the Liability and will be determined on an After-Tax Basis. Accordingly, the amount which any party (an “Indemnifying Party”) is required to pay to any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder (an “Indemnified Party”) will be reduced by any Insurance Proceeds theretofore actually recovered by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party in respect of the related Liability. If an Indemnified Party receives a payment (an “Indemnity Payment”) required by this Agreement from an Indemnifying Party in respect of any Liability and subsequently receives Insurance Proceeds, then the Indemnified Party will pay to the Indemnifying Party an amount equal to the excess of the Indemnity Payment received over the amount of the Indemnity Payment that would have been due if the Insurance Proceeds had been received, realized or recovered before the Indemnity Payment was made.

(b) An insurer who would otherwise be obligated to pay any claim shall not be relieved of the responsibility with respect thereto or, solely by virtue of the indemnification provisions hereof, have any subrogation rights with respect thereto. The Indemnified Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to seek to collect or recover any third-party Insurance Proceeds to which the Indemnified Party is entitled in connection with any Liability for which the Indemnified Party seeks indemnification pursuant to this Article VI; provided that the Indemnified Party’s inability to collect or recover any such Insurance Proceeds shall not limit the Indemnifying Party’s obligations hereunder.

(c) The term “After-Tax Basis” as used in this Article VI shall have the meaning set forth in the Tax Sharing and Separation Agreement.

6.7 Procedures for Indemnification of Third-Party Claims.

(a) If an Indemnified Party shall receive notice or otherwise learn of the assertion by a Person (including any Governmental Authority) who is not a member of the GE Group or the Company Group of any claim or of the commencement by any such Person of any Action (collectively, a “Third-Party Claim”) with respect to which an Indemnifying Party may be

45

obligated to provide indemnification to such Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 6.2, Section 6.3 or Section 6.4, or any other Section of this Agreement or any Transaction Document, such Indemnified Party shall give such Indemnifying Party written notice thereof within twenty (20) days after becoming aware of such Third-Party Claim. Any such notice shall describe the Third-Party Claim in reasonable detail. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the failure of any Indemnified Party or other Person to give notice as provided in this Section 6.7(a) shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Article VI, except to the extent that such Indemnifying Party is actually and materially prejudiced by such failure to give notice.

(b) An Indemnifying Party may elect to defend (and to seek to settle or compromise), at such Indemnifying Party’s own expense and by such Indemnifying Party’s own counsel, any Third-Party Claim. Within thirty (30) days after the receipt of notice from an Indemnified Party in accordance with Section 6.7(a) (or sooner, if the nature of such Third-Party Claim so requires), the Indemnifying Party shall notify the Indemnified Party of its election whether the Indemnifying Party will assume responsibility for defending such Third-Party Claim, which election shall specify any reservations or exceptions. After notice from an Indemnifying Party to an Indemnified Party of its election to assume the defense of a Third-Party Claim, such Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in (but not control) the defense, compromise, or settlement thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be the expense of such Indemnified Party except as set forth in the next sentence. If the Indemnifying Party has elected to assume the defense of the Third-Party Claim but has specified, and continues to assert, any reservations or exceptions in such notice, then, in any such case, the reasonable fees and expenses of one separate counsel for all Indemnified Parties shall be borne by the Indemnifying Party, but the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to reimbursement by the Indemnified Party for payment of any such fees and expenses to the extent that it establishes that such reservations and exceptions were proper.

(c) If an Indemnifying Party elects not to assume responsibility for defending a Third-Party Claim, or fails to notify an Indemnified Party of its election as provided in Section 6.7(b), such Indemnified Party may defend such Third-Party Claim at the cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party.

(d) Unless the Indemnifying Party has failed to assume the defense of the Third-Party Claim in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, no Indemnified Party may settle or compromise any Third-Party Claim without the consent of the Indemnifying Party. No Indemnifying Party shall consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement of any pending or threatened Third-Party Claim in respect of which any Indemnified Party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party without the consent of the Indemnified Party if (i) the effect thereof is to permit any injunction, declaratory judgment, other order or other nonmonetary relief to be entered, directly or indirectly against such Indemnified Party and (ii) such settlement does not include an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such Third-Party Claim.

(e) The provisions of this Section 6.7 shall not apply to Taxes (which are covered by the Tax Sharing and Separation Agreement).

46

6.8 Additional Matters.

(a) Indemnification or contribution payments in respect of any Liabilities for which an Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification or contribution under this Article VI shall be paid by the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party as such Liabilities are incurred upon demand by the Indemnified Party, including an obligation to provide reasonably satisfactory documentation setting forth the basis for the amount of such indemnification or contribution payment, including documentation with respect to calculations made on an After-Tax Basis and consideration of any Insurance Proceeds that actually reduce the amount of such Liabilities. The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Article VI shall remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of (i) any investigation made by or on behalf of any Indemnified Party; (ii) the knowledge by the Indemnified Party of Liabilities for which it might be entitled to indemnification or contribution hereunder; and (iii) any termination of this Agreement.

(b) Any claim on account of a Liability which does not result from a Third-Party Claim shall be asserted by written notice given by the Indemnified Party to the applicable Indemnifying Party. Such Indemnifying Party shall have a period of 30 days after the receipt of such notice within which to respond thereto. If such Indemnifying Party does not respond within such 30-day period, such Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have refused to accept responsibility to make payment. If such Indemnifying Party does not respond within such 30-day period or rejects such claim in whole or in part, such Indemnified Party shall be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to such party as contemplated by this Agreement and the Transaction Documents without prejudice to its continuing rights to pursue indemnification or contribution hereunder.

(c) If payment is made by or on behalf of any Indemnifying Party to any Indemnified Party in connection with any Third-Party Claim, such Indemnifying Party shall be subrogated to and shall stand in the place of such Indemnified Party as to any events or circumstances in respect of which such Indemnified Party may have any right, defense or claim relating to such Third-Party Claim against any claimant or plaintiff asserting such Third-Party Claim or against any other Person. Such Indemnified Party shall cooperate with such Indemnifying Party in a reasonable manner, and at the cost and expense of such Indemnifying Party, in prosecuting any subrogated right, defense or claim.

(d) In an Action in which the Indemnifying Party is not a named defendant, if either the Indemnified Party or Indemnifying Party shall so request, the parties shall endeavor to substitute the Indemnifying Party for the named defendant if they conclude that substitution is desirable and practical. If such substitution or addition cannot be achieved for any reason or is not requested, the named defendant shall allow the Indemnifying Party to manage the Action as set forth in this section, and the Indemnifying Party shall fully indemnify the named defendant against all costs of defending the Action (including court costs, sanctions imposed by a court, attorneys’ fees, experts fees and all other external expenses), the costs of any judgment or settlement, and the cost of any interest or penalties relating to any judgment or settlement.

(e) The provisions of this Section 6.8 shall not apply to Taxes and related matters covered under the Tax Sharing and Separation Agreement.

47

6.9 Remedies Cumulative; Limitations of Liability. The rights provided in this Article VI shall be cumulative and, subject to the provisions of Article IX, shall not preclude assertion by any Indemnified Party of any other rights or the seeking of any and all other remedies against any Indemnifying Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Company or its Affiliates, on the one hand, nor GECC or its Affiliates, on the other hand, shall be liable to the other for any special, indirect, incidental, punitive, consequential, exemplary, statutorily-enhanced or similar damages in excess of compensatory damages (provided that any such liability with respect to a Third-Party Claim shall be considered direct damages) of the other arising in connection with the Transactions or any of the other Transaction Documents.

6.10 Survival of Indemnities. The rights and obligations of each of GECC and the Company and their respective Indemnified Parties under this Article VI shall survive the sale or other transfer by any party of any Assets or businesses or the assignment by it of any Liabilities.

ARTICLE VII

OTHER AGREEMENTS

7.1 Further Assurances.

(a) In addition to the actions specifically provided for elsewhere in this Agreement, each of GE, GECC and the Company will cooperate with each other and use (and will cause their respective Subsidiaries and Affiliates to use) reasonable best efforts, prior to, on and after the Closing Date, to take, or to cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or to cause to be done, all things reasonably necessary on its part under applicable Law or contractual obligations to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Transaction Documents.

(b) Without limiting the foregoing, prior to, on and after the Closing Date, each of GE, GECC and the Company shall cooperate with the other Party, and without any further consideration, but at the expense of the requesting Party from and after the Closing Date, to execute and deliver, or use its reasonable best efforts to cause to be executed and delivered, all instruments, including instruments of conveyance, assignment and transfer, and to make all filings with, and to obtain all consents, approvals or authorizations of, any Governmental Authority or any other Person under any permit, license, agreement, indenture or other instrument (including any Consents or Governmental Approvals), and to take all such other actions as such Party may reasonably be requested to take by any other Party hereto from time to time, consistent with the terms of this Agreement and the Transaction Documents, in order to effectuate the provisions and purposes of this Agreement and the Transaction Documents and the transfers of the Company Assets and the assignment and assumption of the Company Liabilities and the other transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. Without limiting the foregoing, each Party will, at the reasonable request, cost and expense of any other Party, take such other actions as may be reasonably necessary to vest in such other Party good and marketable title to the Assets allocated to such Party under this Agreement or any of the Transaction Documents, free and clear of any Security Interest, if and to the extent it is practicable to do so.

48

(c) On or prior to the Closing Date, GE, GECC and the Company in their respective capacities as direct and indirect stockholders of their respective Subsidiaries, shall each ratify any actions that are reasonably necessary or desirable to be taken by GE, GECC, the Company or any other Subsidiary of GE, GECC or the Company, as the case may be, to effectuate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Members of the Company Group will pay premiums and other costs under each such GE Insurance Arrangement in accordance with GE’s allocation methodologies (consistently applied) for its other Subsidiaries, as the same may be in effect from time to time.

(b) From and after the Trigger Date, members of the Company Group shall cease to be insured by, have access or availability to, be entitled to make claims on, be entitled to claim benefits from or seek coverage under any GE Insurance Arrangement, other than with respect to any claim, act, omission, event, circumstance, occurrence or loss that occurred or existed prior to the Trigger Date (and then only to the extent that such claim, act, omission, event, circumstance, occurrence or loss occurred or existed on or prior to the Trigger Date) (a “Pre-Trigger Date Event”) and was reported to the applicable insurer in accordance with the provisions of the applicable GE Insurance Arrangement prior to the Trigger Date, subject in each case to the terms and conditions of the applicable GE Insurance Arrangement and the requirements of subparagraph (d) below. Upon receipt of a written request from the Company, GE shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to reduce or cancel the Company Group’s coverage under any GE Insurance Arrangement, effective no earlier than sixty (60) days after GE’s receipt of such request, provided, however that (i) any costs associated with or incurred in connection with such reduction or cancellation shall be borne exclusively by the Company Group, (ii) the Company Group understands that there may be no premium refund or credit provided by the relevant insurers as a result of such reduction or cancellation, and (iii) if and to the extent that GE actually receives a premium refund or credit from the relevant insurers for the term of the coverage so reduced or cancelled as a direct result of such reduction or cancellation, GE shall only be obligated to credit or pay over to the Company Group the lesser of (x) the amount of any such credit or refund or (y) the amount last charged to the Company Group by GE for such coverage during such term.

(c) Notwithstanding subparagraph (b) above, with respect to any Pre-Trigger Date Event relating to Company Assets, Company Liabilities or the members of the Company Group that would be covered by GE’s occurrence-based insurance policies (for avoidance of doubt, such policies shall not include any of GE’s claims-made or occurrence-reported liability policies, GE’s transit and construction all risk insurance policies, and/or GE’s aviation liability policies), the members of the Company Group may directly access, make direct claims on, claim benefits directly from or under such policies for a one-year period concluding on first anniversary of the Trigger Date, subject in each case to the terms and conditions of such policies and the requirements of subparagraph (d) below. For purposes of this Section 7.3, the term “GE” shall include, where appropriate to the context, GE’s Subsidiaries and/or Affiliates.

51

(i) the Company shall as promptly as reasonably practicable notify GE’s Corporate Insurance department of all such claims and/or efforts to seek benefits or coverage and GE and the Company shall reasonably cooperate with one another in pursuing all such claims, provided that the Company shall be solely responsible for notifying the relevant insurance companies of such claims and complying with all conditions for such claims. In addition, the applicable member of the Company Group shall (A) pursue or (B) to the extent assignable and permitted under the applicable GE Insurance Arrangement, assign to GE or the applicable insurer, any rights of recovery against third parties with respect to Pre-Trigger Date Events for which a claim is made and shall cooperate with GE with respect to pursuit of such rights. The order of priority of any such recoveries shall inure first to GE to reimburse any and all costs incurred by GE directly or indirectly as a result of such claims or losses, second to pay or satisfy any applicable deductibles and retentions under the relevant GE Insurance Arrangements and third to the relevant member of the Company Group;

(ii) GE shall have the right but not the duty to monitor and/or provide input with respect to coverage claims or requests for benefits asserted by the members of the Company Group under the relevant GE Insurance Arrangements, including the coverage positions and arguments asserted therein, provided that the Company (A) shall be liable for any fees, costs and expenses incurred by GE relating to any unsuccessful coverage claim, (B) shall provide the notice contemplated in Section 7.3(d)(i), (C) shall not, without the written consent of GE, erode, settle, release, commute or otherwise resolve disputes with respect to the relevant GE Insurance Arrangements nor amend, modify or waive any rights thereunder, and (D) shall not assign any GE Insurance Arrangements or any rights or claims thereunder; and

(iii) the Company shall exclusively bear and be liable (and GE shall have no obligation to repay or reimburse the applicable member of the Company Group) for all deductibles and retentions and uninsured, uncovered, unavailable or uncollectible amounts relating to or associated with such claims, whether made by any member of the Company Group, its employees or third parties.

(e) Notwithstanding anything contained herein, GE shall retain exclusive right to control all of its insurance policies and programs, including the GE Insurance Arrangements referenced in subparagraphs (a) through (c) above, and the benefits and amounts payable thereunder, including the right to exhaust, settle, release, commute, buy-back or otherwise resolve disputes with respect to any of its insurance policies and programs and to amend, modify or waive any rights under any such insurance policies and programs, notwithstanding whether any such policies or programs apply to any Liabilities and/or claims any member of the Company Group has made or could make in the future, including coverage claims with respect to Pre-Trigger Date Events. The Company Group shall cooperate with GE and share such information as is reasonably necessary in order to permit GE to manage and conduct its insurance matters as GE deems appropriate and that the Company, on behalf of itself and each member of the Company Group, hereby gives consent for GE to inform any affected insurer of this agreement and to provide such insurer with a copy hereof.

52

(f) With respect to all open, closed and re-opened claims covered under GE’s workers’ compensation, international employers’ liability insurance policies and/or comparable workers’ compensation self-insurance, state or country programs relating to employees (whether present or former, active or inactive) of any member of the Company Group arising from occurrences prior to the Trigger Date, the Company shall promptly reimburse GE for all claim payments, costs and expenses relating to such claims, as well as any, catastrophic coverage charges, overhead, claim handling and administrative costs, taxes, surcharges, state assessments, other related costs, whether such claims are made by any member of the Company Group, its employees or third parties.

(g) This Agreement shall not be considered as an attempted assignment of any policy of insurance or as a contract of insurance, and nothing in this Agreement is intended to waive or abrogate in any way GE’s or the Company’s own rights to insurance coverage for any liability, whether relating to GE or any of its Affiliates or the Company Group or otherwise.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of GECC (which it may withhold in its sole and absolute discretion), take any action, or recommend to its stockholders any action, which would among other things, limit the legal rights of, or deny any benefit to, GECC or its Affiliates as a Company stockholder in a manner not applicable to Company stockholders generally.

As of the date hereof, the contracts and agreements described in clause (i) above are set forth or generally described on Schedule 7.5(c). GE hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Company has made available to GE copies of each contract or agreement (or the relevant portion thereof) described on Schedule 7.5(c). The Company shall not, and shall cause the other members of the Company Group not to, without GECC’s prior written consent (which may be provided by electronic mail to the electronic mail address set forth in Section 10.5), enter into any agreement or arrangement that, directly or

(iv) if GE or GECC proposes to implement a new policy or a change to an existing policy, in either event that is intended to apply to the Company or its Subsidiaries and that (A) would create a new requirement that would not otherwise have applied to the Company or its Subsidiaries or (B) is inconsistent with an existing Company Policy or GECRB policy, then the following process shall be followed: (1) GECC shall advise the Company of the proposed new or modified policy, and (2) GECC and the Company shall discuss in good faith whether application of such policy to the Company and its Subsidiaries is appropriate, taking into consideration relevant factors including the significance of the policy requirement, the burden of compliance on the Company, applicability to the Company’s business, and comparable policies existing at the Company. After the discussion described in the foregoing clause (2), GECC and the Company shall either (x) agree on whether the GE or GECC policy shall apply to the Company and its Subsidiaries and, if so, any exceptions applicable to the Company and its Subsidiaries, or (y) if GECC and the Company cannot reach agreement on any matter described in the foregoing clause (x), such matter shall be referred to the Company Board for its decision on such matter.

(d) Until Deregistration, each of GECC and the Company will designate a Chief Compliance Officer, and each such Chief Compliance Officer or his or her designee, on behalf of GECC or the Company, respectively, will regularly consult with and notify the other Party of any significant compliance matters impacting the Company Business, from time to time.

(b) GE and the Company will cooperate to replace the Guarantees and the Company will use reasonable best efforts to attempt to release or replace any liability of GE and the members of the GE Group under any Guarantees and, without limiting the foregoing, prior to the date which is the six-month anniversary of the date hereof, the Company shall, subject to any applicable regulatory approval or non-objection, cause to be terminated and released all of GECC’s obligations under the Mizuho Guarantee and Sumitomo Guarantee.

With respect to each lease, the Company will be liable to GECC for (i) all costs borne by GECC or any member of the GE Group of maintaining such obligations, (ii) fees, as may be agreed between the Parties, to GECC

59

for maintaining such obligations, and (iii) indemnification and reimbursement obligations with respect to the leases. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company and its Subsidiaries shall be prohibited from modifying, extending, or exercising any option under any such lease without the prior written consent of GECC.

7.15 Non-Compete.

(a) Except as permitted by this Section 7.15 for a period of two years from Deregistration, none of GE or its Subsidiaries shall engage in a Competing Business in the United States of America and its Territories or Canada (the “Covered Business”). This Section 7.15 shall cease to be applicable to any Person at such time as it is no longer a Subsidiary of GE and shall not apply to any Person that purchases assets, operations or a business from a member of the GE Group, if such Person is not a Subsidiary of GE after such transaction is consummated. This Section 7.15 does not apply to any Subsidiary of GE in which a Person who is not an Affiliate of GE holds equity interests and with respect to whom a member of the GE Group has existing contractual or legal obligations (including fiduciary duties of representatives on the board of directors or similar body of such Subsidiary) limiting GE’s ability to impose on the subject Subsidiary a non-competition obligation such as that in this Section 7.15.

(b) If GECC or any of its Subsidiaries desires to enter into a strategic alliance or joint venture relationship with a third party where the third party in such strategic alliance or the joint venture conducts a Covered Business and GECC receives monetary compensation tied to the volume or profitability to the third party in such strategic alliance or the joint venture of the extension of consumer credit component of such strategic alliance (other than referral fees, incentives tied to origination volume or similar origination-related economics reasonably expected to equal less than $750,000 in the aggregate, per annum), GECC may only proceed with such strategic alliance or joint venture with respect to the Covered Business if such opportunity has been offered to the Company and the Company has (i) declined to accept such opportunity or (ii) the terms on which the Company desires to participate are less favorable in the aggregate to GECC or its Subsidiaries, as applicable, than those offered by a third party.

(c) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 7.15(a) or (b), and without implicitly agreeing that the following activities would be subject to the provisions of Section 7.15(a) or (b), nothing in this Agreement shall preclude, prohibit or restrict any member of the GE Group from engaging in any manner in any (i) Financial Services Business, (ii) Existing Business Activities, (iii) De Minimis Business, or (iv) business activity that would otherwise violate Section 7.15(a) or (b) that is acquired from any Person (an “After-Acquired Business”) or is carried on by any Person that is acquired by or combined with a member of the GE Group in each case after the date of the Initial Public Offering (an “After-Acquired Company”); provided, that with respect to clause (iv), so long as within 24 months after the purchase or other acquisition of the Acquired Business or the Acquired Company, such member of the GE Group signs a definitive agreement to dispose, and subsequently disposes of the relevant portion of the business or securities of the Acquired Business or the Acquired Company or at the expiration of such 24-month period the business of the After-Acquired Business or the After-Acquired Company complies with this Section 7.15.

(iv) directly or indirectly sell, convey, transfer, lease, pledge, grant a Security Interest in, or otherwise dispose of any of their respective assets (including Stock and Stock Equivalents) or any interest therein to any Person, or permit or suffer any other Person to acquire any interest in any of their respective assets, in each case in a single transaction, or series of related transactions, involving consideration (whether in

(v) directly or indirectly create, incur, assume, guarantee or otherwise be or become liable with respect to Indebtedness (including Indebtedness of any entity acquired by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, whether or not such Indebtedness is expressly assumed or guaranteed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries) which would reasonably be expected to result in a downgrade of the Company Group’s publicly issued debt from any of the ratings agencies from whom ratings were solicited and received by the Company at the time of the Initial Public Offering;

(vi) until such time when the GE Group beneficially owns less than twenty percent (20%) of the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock, issue any Stock or any Stock Equivalents, except (A) the issuance of shares of Stock of a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary to the Company or another Wholly-Owned Subsidiary, or (B) pursuant to the Transactions;

(vii) dissolve, liquidate or wind up;

(xii) enter into a new principal line of business or enter into business in a new geographical area, provided, however, that at any time when the GE Group shall beneficially own less than ten percent (10%) of the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock, the Company shall not need the prior written approval of GECC to enter into a new principal line of business or enter into business in a new geographical area where such business is not reasonably expected to exceed $200 million in average receivables or annual purchase volume;

(xiii) until such time when the GE Group beneficially owns less than twenty percent (20%) of the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock, change the size of the Company Board from nine (9) directors; or

(xiv) establish an executive committee of the Company Board (or a committee having the powers customarily delegated to an executive committee).

(b) For the avoidance of doubt, (i) nothing in this Section 8.1 shall be construed in a manner inconsistent with Section 5.10(d)(ii) and (ii) GECC shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to waive any and all of the rights granted to it under this Section 8.1, by delivery of written notice to the Company in accordance with Section 10.5.

(ii) at any time when the GE Group shall beneficially own at least thirty-three percent (33%) but not more than fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock, GECC shall have the right to designate for nomination four (4) GE Designees;

(v) at any time when the GE Group shall beneficially own less than ten percent (10%) of the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock and prior to Deregistration, GECC shall have the right to designate for nomination one (1) GE Designee.

If the size of the Company Board shall, with GECC’s prior written approval, be changed, GECC shall have the right to designate a proportional number of persons for nomination to the Company Board (rounded up to the nearest whole number).

(b) The Company Board and/or the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Company Board shall in good faith consider each GE Designee, applying the same standards as shall be applied for the consideration of other proposed nominees of the Company Board.

(c) The Company shall cause each GE Designee whose nomination has been approved to be included in the slate of nominees recommended by the Company Board and/or the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Company Board to holders of Company Common Stock for election (including at any special meeting of stockholders held for the election of directors) and shall use its best efforts to cause the election of each such GE Designee, including soliciting proxies in favor of the election of such persons.

64

(b) Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.

(b) To the extent that GECC is entitled to designate a GE Appointee under Section 8.5(a), then the Company shall provide GECC at least twenty (20) Business Days’ advance written notice of any annual or special meeting of the stockholders of GECRB at which directors shall be elected. Prior to such annual or special meeting, GECC shall provide written notice to the Company stating the name of such GE Appointee and the Company shall take all necessary action to cause such GE Appointee to be elected to the Bank Board.

(c) In the event that any GE Appointee elected to the Bank Board shall cease to serve as a director for any reason, the Company shall cause the vacancy resulting therefrom to be filled by the Bank Board with a substitute GE Appointee, as designated by GECC.

For the avoidance of doubt, GECC shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to waive any and all of the rights granted to it under this Section 8.5, pursuant to a written notice delivered to the Company in accordance with Section 10.5.

ARTICLE IX

DISPUTE RESOLUTION

9.1 General Provisions.

(a) Any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Transaction Documents (other than the Transaction Documents set forth on Schedule 9.1) or to the extent explicitly set forth in another Transaction Document, or the validity, interpretation, breach or termination thereof (a “Dispute”), shall be resolved in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Article IX, which shall be the sole and exclusive procedures for the resolution of any such Dispute unless otherwise specified below.

(b) Commencing with a request contemplated by Section 9.2 set forth below, all communications between the Parties or their representatives in connection with the attempted resolution of any Dispute, including any mediator’s evaluation referred to in Section 9.3 set forth below, shall be deemed to have been delivered in furtherance of a Dispute settlement and shall be exempt from discovery and production, and shall not be admissible in evidence for any reason (whether as an admission or otherwise), in any arbitral or other proceeding for the resolution of the Dispute.

(c) Except as provided in Section 9.1(f) in connection with any Dispute, the Parties expressly waive and forego any right to (i) special, indirect, incidental, punitive, consequential, exemplary, statutorily-enhanced or similar damages in excess of compensatory damages (provided that liability for any such damages with respect to a Third-Party Claim shall be considered direct damages) and (ii) trial by jury.

(d) The specific procedures set forth below, including but not limited to the time limits referenced therein, may be modified by agreement of the Parties in writing.

(e) All applicable statutes of limitations and defenses based upon the passage of time shall be tolled while the procedures specified in this Article IX are pending. The Parties will take such action, if any, required to effectuate such tolling.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article IX, any Dispute relating to a member of the GE Group’s rights as a stockholder of the Company pursuant to applicable Law, the Company’s Charter or the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws, including a member of the GE Group’s rights as the holder of Company Common Stock, will not be governed by or subject to the procedures set forth in this Article IX. The Parties hereto hereby irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or, if such court lacks subject matter jurisdiction, any other state court or federal court having subject matter jurisdiction located within the State of Delaware in connection with any such Dispute and each Party hereby irrevocably agrees that all claims in respect of any such Dispute or any suit, action proceeding related thereto may be heard and determined in such

66

courts. The Parties hereby irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, any objection that they may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such Dispute brought in such courts or any defense of inconvenient forum for the maintenance of such dispute. Each of the Parties hereto agrees that a judgment in any such Dispute may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law.

9.2 Consideration by Senior Executives. If a Dispute is not resolved in the normal course of business at the operational level, the Parties shall attempt in good faith to resolve such Dispute by negotiation between executives who hold, at a minimum, the office of President and CEO of the respective business entities involved in such Dispute or their respective senior level designees. Either Party may initiate the executive negotiation process by providing a written notice to the other (the “Initial Notice”). Fifteen (15) days after delivery of the Initial Notice, the receiving Party shall submit to the other a written response (the “Response”). The Initial Notice and the Response shall include (i) a statement of the Dispute and of each Party’s position, and (ii) the name and title of the executive who will represent that Party and of any other person who will accompany the executive. Such executives will meet in person or by telephone within ten (10) Business Days of the date of the Response to seek a resolution of the Dispute.

9.3 Mediation. If a Dispute is not resolved by negotiation as provided in Section 9.2 within thirty (30) days from the delivery of the Response, then either Party may submit the Dispute for resolution by mediation pursuant to the CPR Institute for Dispute Resolution (the “CPR”) Model Mediation Procedure as then in effect. The Parties will select a mediator from the CPR Panels of Distinguished Neutrals. If the Parties are unable to select a mutually agreeable mediator within twenty (20) days following the submission of the Dispute to the CPR, the CPR shall select the mediator from the CPR Panels of Distinguished Neutrals. Either Party at commencement of the mediation may ask the mediator to provide an evaluation of the Dispute and the Parties’ relative positions.

9.4 Arbitration.

(a) If a Dispute is not resolved by mediation as provided in Section 9.3 within thirty (30) days of the selection of a mediator (unless the mediator chooses to withdraw sooner), either Party may submit the Dispute to be finally resolved by arbitration pursuant to the CPR Rules for Non-Administered Arbitration as then in effect (the “CPR Arbitration Rules”). The Parties consent to a single, consolidated arbitration for all known Disputes existing at the time of the arbitration and for which arbitration is permitted.

(b) The neutral organization for purposes of the CPR Arbitration Rules will be the CPR. The arbitral tribunal shall be composed of three arbitrators, of whom each Party shall appoint one in accordance with the “screened” appointment procedure provided in Rule 5.4 of the CPR Arbitration Rules. The arbitration shall be conducted in New York City. Each Party shall be permitted to present its case, witnesses and evidence, if any, in the presence of the other Party. A written transcript of the proceedings shall be made and furnished to the Parties. The arbitrators shall determine the Dispute in accordance with the law of the State of New York, without giving effect to any conflict of law rules or other rules that might render such law inapplicable or unavailable, and shall apply this Agreement and the Transaction Documents according to their respective terms; provided, however, that any Dispute in respect of a

67

Transaction Document which by its terms is governed by the law of a jurisdiction other than the State of New York shall be determined by the law of such other jurisdiction and; provided, further, however, that the provisions of this Agreement relating to arbitration shall in any event be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§ 1 et seq.

(c) The Parties agree to be bound by any award or order resulting from any arbitration conducted in accordance with this Section 9.4 and further agree that judgment on any award or order resulting from an arbitration conducted under this Section 9.4 may be entered and enforced in any court having jurisdiction thereof.

(d) Except as expressly permitted by this Agreement, no Party will commence or voluntarily participate in any court action or proceeding concerning a Dispute, except (i) for enforcement as contemplated by Section 9.4(c) above, (ii) to restrict or vacate an arbitral decision based on the grounds specified under applicable law, or (iii) for interim relief as provided in paragraph (e) below. For purposes of the foregoing, the Parties hereto submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York.

(e) In addition to the authority otherwise conferred on the arbitral tribunal, the tribunal shall have the authority to make such orders for interim relief, including injunctive relief, as it may deem just and equitable. Notwithstanding Section 9.4(d) above, each Party acknowledges that in the event of any actual or threatened breach of the provisions of (i) Section 7.2, Section 7.10, Section 7.15 or Article VIII, (ii) the Employee Matters Agreement, (iii) the Intellectual Property Cross License Agreement, (iv) the Transitional Trademark License Agreement or (v) the Registration Rights Agreement, the remedy at law would not be adequate, and therefore injunctive or other interim relief may be sought immediately to restrain such breach. If the tribunal shall not have been appointed, either Party may seek interim relief from a court having jurisdiction if the award to which the applicant may be entitled may be rendered ineffectual without such interim relief. Upon appointment of the tribunal following any grant of interim relief by a court, the tribunal may affirm or disaffirm such relief, and the Parties will seek modification or rescission of the court action as necessary to accord with the tribunal’s decision.

(f) Each Party will bear its own attorneys’ fees and costs incurred in connection with the resolution of any Dispute in accordance with this Article IX.
