Except as otherwise specifically provided, upon the termination of this Agreement, all rights conveyed by FRONTIER to JUNIPER with respect to the use of the Marks shall cease, and all such rights shall revert to FRONTIER. Upon termination of this Agreement, JUNIPER shall have no further right to market its credit card products using the FRONTIER Marks or to further utilize any promotional materials or Premiums containing the Marks.

(a) Commencing on the Effective Date and continuing through the Term of this Agreement, JUNIPER, at its own expense, shall design and develop marketing, promotion and solicitation materials to promote the Affinity Program and JUNIPER Products. JUNIPER shall submit to FRONTIER, for its prior approval, samples of all marketing, promotional or solicitation materials, printed or otherwise, including, but not limited to telephone scripts, which JUNIPER intends to utilize to market or service the Affinity Program and JUNIPER Products. FRONTIER shall review such materials and respond to JUNIPER’S requests for approval within five business days. JUNIPER may communicate to the JUNIPER Cardholders information that does not bear FRONTIER Marks, provided, however, that JUNIPER must notify FRONTIER in advance of any communication to JUNIPER Cardholders which pertains to frequent flyer or other travel-related products and services.

(b) From time to time through the Term of this Agreement, JUNIPER shall market, promote and advertise the Affinity Program and Juniper Products to FRONTIER Members and such other target markets as FRONTIER and JUNIPER may from time to time agree upon. The JUNIPER Products shall initially consist of the credit card products listed in Exhibit C. JUNIPER shall make available to FRONTIER competitive and compelling products, as such products become available, for possible designation as JUNIPER Products to be added to Exhibit C.

(c) FRONTIER may supply inserts to JUNIPER to be included in reasonable monthly mailings of billing statements to JUNIPER Cardholders subject to JUNIPER’s reasonable determination of available space, size and weight limitations. JUNIPER will pay for the normal cost of mailing statement insertions as described, excluding the cost of preparing and producing the actual insert which shall be the sole responsibility of FRONTIER. In addition, if the inserts added by FRONTIER increase the postal expense incurred by JUNIPER to mail statements with such inserts, then JUNIPER shall inform FRONTIER in advance and, provided FRONTIER agrees to reimburse JUNIPER for such incremental postage expense, JUNIPER will use reasonable efforts to include such insertion.

(d) From time to time during the Term of this Agreement, FRONTIER, at its expense, shall provide JUNIPER with the Lists, via magnetic tape, electronic file, CD ROM, or any other media that is mutually agreed upon. Each List shall be as complete as possible, but shall not include those FRONTIER Members who have notified FRONTIER that they do not wish to receive solicitations regarding the EarlyReturns Program. Subject to applicable regulatory record retention requirements and except as may be necessary to complete a marketing campaign, JUNIPER shall promptly destroy each outdated List upon receipt of an

updated List from FRONTIER. JUNIPER shall use the Lists for the sole purpose of marketing and servicing the JUNIPER Cards (or such other Affinity Program products as FRONTIER may approve in writing from time to time), and JUNIPER shall not rent, use or permit any third party handling such Lists to use them for any other purpose. JUNIPER shall not rent or otherwise make available such Lists to any third party except for the purposes of fulfilling obligations under this Agreement, subject to the execution of an appropriate confidentiality agreement by such third party. The Lists provided by FRONTIER are and shall remain the sole property of FRONTIER.

(e) Upon request by FRONTIER and with prior written approval by JUNIPER, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, JUNIPER shall permit FRONTIER, subject to reasonable restrictions set forth by JUNIPER, to conduct Added Earnings Program from time to time during the Term of this Agreement, provided, JUNIPER’S approval and restrictions will not impair FRONTIER’S ability to reach the target levels of income anticipated by the parties in Section 5(a)(iii) of this Agreement. Any marketing materials developed by FRONTIER must be approved in writing by JUNIPER prior to distribution by FRONTIER (provided that such approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), however, the text of JUNIPER Products applications and disclosures used for the Added Earnings Program must be supplied to FRONTIER by JUNIPER. Unless otherwise agreed to by JUNIPER and FRONTIER, all expenses incurred by FRONTIER and JUNIPER with respect to Added Earnings Programs shall be borne solely by FRONTIER provided that JUNIPER expenses shall be limited to those out-of-pocket expenses that are pre-approved by FRONTIER in writing. For each Account opened by FRONTIER as a result of an Added Earnings Program, JUNIPER shall pay to FRONTIER the Marketing Premium described in Section 5 hereof, net of any JUNIPER out-of-pocket expenses related to the Added Earnings Program as pre-approved in accordance with the previous sentence, in lieu of the New Account Premium described in Section 5.

(a) FRONTIER will designate either VISA or MasterCard International as the issuing association for JUNIPER Products. The definitive agreement between Designated Issuer and JUNIPER will materially conform to the proposal provided to FRONTIER by the selected association and will include the payment of a Affinity Program related volume incentive (the “Volume Incentive”) that will be passed along to FRONTIER for each purchase transaction dollar on credit cards which bear the FRONTIER Marks. JUNIPER shall offset the Volume Incentive received from the Designated Issuer in the quarter in which it is received against the then un-recouped Earnings Guaranty, if any, in accordance with paragraph 5(c) below.

(b) JUNIPER may solicit FRONTIER Members regarding the Affinity Program and issue JUNIPER Cards and other JUNIPER Products in accordance with JUNIPER’S standard consumer credit card product or other issuing policies and credit practices, subject to federal, state and local law. All decisions concerning the creditworthiness of any potential FRONTIER Member shall be made at the sole discretion of JUNIPER. JUNIPER at all times shall offer competitive and compelling terms and features in connection with JUNIPER Products, which are consistent with or better than the industry norm for co-branded frequent fryer cards.

(c) JUNIPER Cardholders shall be governed by the terms of the Customer Agreements. The Customer Agreements shall specify that the laws of the State of Delaware, and as applicable, federal law, shall govern the terms and conditions of the Account and the extension of credit by JUNIPER. JUNIPER shall have the right, subject to the limitations set forth in this paragraph to (i) amend the Customer Agreements in accordance with applicable law, and (ii) alter the pricing on Accounts, in accordance with JUNIPER’S standard credit policies and the applicable Customer Agreements in the event of late payments, non-payments, payment by checks returned for insufficient funds, bankruptcy or other failure of an Account holder to abide by the terms of his or her Customer Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at all times such Customer Agreements must contain terms and conditions that are consistent with or better than the industry norm for co-branded frequent flyer cards. JUNIPER shall process all applications and customer service requests in a timely and efficient manner. JUNIPER shall provide FRONTIER with written notice of all changes to the Customer Agreements, other than individual account pricing, at least thirty (30) days prior to their effective date.

(d) JUNIPER shall be the sole creditor under the law as to all debts incurred through the use of the JUNIPER Cards, shall be the sole owner of the Accounts and may securitize Account receivables from time to time. In addition, any and all outstanding balances with respect thereto (including, without limitation, all amounts owing for the payments of goods and services, periodic finance charges, late and other charges) and all records developed and retained by JUNIPER for the sole purpose of administering the Accounts shall be the sole property of JUNIPER or its assigns and FRONTIER shall have no rights or interests therein.

(a) During the Term of this Agreement, JUNIPER shall pay to FRONTIER Fees for the acquisition, retention and use of Accounts, as follows:

(ii) Renewal Premiums: For Accounts renewed during the Term of this Agreement, a Renewal Account Premium in the amount equal ***** of the Annual fee for said Account. By way of example, based on the Annual Fee at launch the Renewal Premiums would be ***** for each ***** Account; ***** for each ***** Account.

(iii) Marketing Premiums: For each Account generated during the Term of this Agreement as a result of the Added Earnings Program, a Marketing Premium of *****, regardless of type of JUNIPER Product. FRONTIER has no obligation to maintain an Added Earnings Program hereunder and may do so in its sole discretion; however, the parties project that forty percent of the Accounts obtained hereunder shall be obtained pursuant to an Added Earnings Program.

(iv) Notwithstanding the foregoing, JUNIPER shall not be obligated to pay to FRONTIER any (y) Marketing Premiums for a No Fee JUNIPER Card until such card is used for a purchase, balance transfer, or cash advance; or (z) New Account Premiums or Marketing Premiums in the event that the Accounts on which such Fees are calculated represent replacement Accounts for lost or stolen JUNIPER Cards.

(b) Bonus Mile Fees and Purchase Mile Fees: During the Initial Term of this Agreement, JUNIPER shall pay a Purchase Mile Fee to FRONTIER equal to ***** for each Purchase Mile and a Bonus Mile Fee of either (1) ***** for each Bonus Mile awarded to an Account for which the New Account Premium is paid, or (2) ***** for each Bonus Mile awarded to an Account for which the Marketing Premium is paid. Purchase Miles and Bonus Miles shall be awarded as follows:

(i) FRONTIER shall award one Purchase Mile on each Account for each dollar of Net Purchases posted to such Account.

(ii) FRONTIER will from time to time award Bonus Miles to Accounts. Bonus Miles will be awarded as agreed from time to time by the parties for, by way of example and not limitation, rewards to Members when they open Accounts, rewards to JUNIPER Cardholder for engaging in certain categories of transactions as the parties may agree, including, but not limited to, the use of an Account to purchase FRONTIER tickets. The Bonus Mile Fee shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, the Purchase Mile Fee that is due for a transaction. For example:

For FRONTIER ticket purchases on the Platinum Card for which double miles are awarded for using the credit card, the first mile awarded by FRONTIER will be compensated by the Purchase Mile Fee, and the second (bonus) mile will be compensated by the Bonus Mile Fee.

(c) JUNIPER shall provide FRONTIER with a reconciliation report within ***** days following the end of the contract quarter, setting forth the amount of Fees earned by FRONTIER under this paragraph 5 during such quarter. JUNIPER shall pay all Fees net of expenses incurred by JUNIPER as a result of an Added Earnings Program under Section 3(e) to FRONTIER within ***** days following the transmittal of the reconciliation report; provided, however, that JUNIPER shall offset Fees and Volume Incentive payments due against the cumulative amount of the un-recouped Earnings Guaranty, and transmit to FRONTIER the net balance due, if any.

(d) The parties agree to create reasonable procedures to prevent JUNIPER Cardholders from circumventing limitations on mileage awards, including but not limited to, the Qualifying Balance Transfer limits.

(e) JUNIPER’S obligation to pay any of the aforementioned Fees to FRONTIER shall cease on the Termination Date or upon the expiration of the Wind-down Period, as applicable.

(a) Subject to the conditions set forth in subparagraphs (b) and (c) and below, JUNIPER shall pay the Earnings Guarantee as follows:

(i) JUNIPER shall pay the Initial Guaranty Payment to FRONTIER within ***** business days of the date this Agreement is duly executed and delivered by the parties hereto. In the event that FRONTIER fails to reasonably cooperate in the launch of the Program causing the onset of marketing of the program to occur after June 30, 2003, FRONTIER shall immediately return the Initial Guaranty Payment to JUNIPER. The parties expressly agree that any joint decision to delay the launch of the Program beyond June 30, 2003 due to Force Majeure or other events will not result in a duty for FRONTIER to return the Initial Guaranty Payment.

(ii) The balance of the Earnings Guarantee shall be paid in Quarterly Installment Payments. The first Quarterly Installment Payment shall be due on the last day of the sixth contract quarter after the Effective Date, or, in the event the Initial Guaranty Payment is returned pursuant to Sub-section (i) above, the last day of the first quarter after the effective date, and the remainder shall be payable on the last day of every contract quarter thereafter.

(i) The average Passenger Enplanements (“PE”) for the ***** most recent months for which FRONTIER has reported prior to the quarterly due date declines more than ***** from the average PE in the comparable ***** in *****;

(ii) The average number of Active Frequent Flyers for the ***** most recent months for which FRONTIER has reported prior to the quarterly due date declines more than ***** from the number of Active Frequent Flyers in the comparable ***** in *****.

(iii) FRONTIER fails to maintain a frequent flyer program that is as competitive in the marketplace as the EarlyReturns Program is as of Jan 1, 2003 based on domestic award levels and domestic mileage earning capability, provided that JUNIPER provides notice of the failure to maintain the frequent flyer program which will commence a ***** period during which FRONTIER may cure the deficiency;

(iv) FRONTIER becomes subject to voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, conservatorship or like proceedings, and for which JUNIPER does not terminate pursuant to Section 15(d) below;

then JUNIPER shall be relieved of the obligation to pay the Earnings Guarantee for the affected quarter, if any. If a Suspension Event under (i) or (ii) continues during the ensuing contract quarter(s), JUNIPER shall be relieved of its obligation to pay the Earnings Guarantee for such quarter(s) and the Earnings Guarantee shall be reduced by ***** for each affected quarter. Fees earned during such quarter shall be paid to FRONTIER to the extent not offset against the un-recouped Guarantee pursuant to Section 5 (c). For purposes of this Section 6(b), “PE” means the aggregate of ticketed passengers boarding a FRONTIER mainline flight as reported by

FRONTIER for each month on or before the ***** day of the following month (for avoidance of doubt, PE does not include passengers booked by or through FRONTIER’S codeshare partners) and “Active Frequent Flyer” means a FRONTIER Member who has taken at least one flight in a calendar year.

(c) At such time FRONTIER has earned and received a total of *****, (or a reduced amount pursuant to Section 6(b) above) hereunder, JUNIPER’S obligation to pay the Earnings Guaranty shall cease.

(a) Unless decreased as set forth below, JUNIPER shall fund an aggregate Account acquisition budget of ***** for the Term of the Agreement (the “Acquisition Budget”) provided that FRONTIER: (i) fulfills all its obligations hereunder, including but not limited to review and approval in a timely manner of the marketing materials and programs proposed or submitted by JUNIPER; (ii) a Suspension Event does not occur and continue; or (iii) this Agreement is not terminated for any reason (each a “Triggering Event”).

(b) The Acquisition Budget includes the Marketing Premiums paid to FRONTIER as a result of an Added Earnings Program.

(c) Except as provided in Section (d) below, the occurrence of a Triggering Event terminates JUNIPER’S obligation to fund the Acquisition Budget.

(d) If FRONTIER (i) fails to fulfill all its obligations hereunder, including but not limited to review and approval in a timely manner of the marketing materials and programs proposed or submitted by JUNIPER; or (ii) a Suspension Event pursuant to Section 6.(b) (i), (ii) or (iii) occurs during any calendar quarter, JUNIPER shall have no obligation to fund the Acquisition Budget until such time that Suspension Event is cured. Acquisition Budget deferred as a result of this section may be removed from the Acquisition Budget if, at the time of establishing subsequent Marketing Plans, continuing to expend the Acquisition Budget on marketing efforts is not commercially reasonable.

(e) Beginning April l, 2003, and every ***** thereafter, FRONTIER and JUNIPER shall meet to develop a Marketing Plan for the ensuing ***** period. Both parties shall make themselves available for discussions and consultations regarding the Marketing Plans, and shall use all reasonable resources, including the assignment of adequate personnel, as may be necessary to develop each Marketing Plan. In addition, FRONTIER and JUNIPER, upon either party’s reasonable request, shall participate in additional meetings to revise the then-current Marketing Plan based on ongoing campaign results or changes to the marketing environment. Each Marketing Plan will establish the efforts to be completed by each party in order to promote the Affinity Program, the portion of the Acquisition Budget being allocated to the period covered by the Marketing Plan, and set forth whether new Accounts originated pursuant to the Marketing Plan will be considered a new Account resulting in the payment of the New Account Premium or the Marketing Premium, or allocated between the two according to some formula. The Marketing Plans shall be developed based upon the parties’ reasonable and objective evaluations

as to the most effective and efficient means to advertise and promote the Affinity Program, in light of the following parameters:

(i) The parties recognize that the Acquisition Budget is intended to acquire ***** new Accounts through all channels including but not limited to Added Earnings Programs during the Initial Term;

(iii) The occurrence of one or more Suspension Events will result in a reasonable adjustment to the Acquisition Budget;

(iv) The parties may reduce the Acquisition Budget to allow JUNIPER to receive the economic benefit of efficient Account acquisition; and

(v) The performance of earlier marketing efforts, the cost effectiveness of the particular marketing channels and other factors effecting response rates, including but not limited to general economic trends and trends regarding frequent flyer program participation.

(f) The parties recognize that the Acquisition Budget is intended to acquire ***** Accounts during the Initial Term of the Agreement at an average annual cost per Account (“CPA”) for JUNIPER of *****, including ***** Accounts obtained through Added Earnings Programs. During each period covered by a Marketing Plan, if JUNIPER wants to reallocate the Acquisition Budget from a particular marketing channel to other channels or suspend a channel in order to achieve the Account and CPA targets, or to reduce, the, Acquisition Budget during such period, JUNIPER will notify FRONTIER and an ad hoc meeting of the parties to revise the Marketing Plan. In the event that the parties do not agree on a Marketing Plan, including a revised Marketing Plan at the ad hoc meeting, JUNIPER may reduce the Acquisition Budget as a result of the reallocation or suspension of marketing if, in JUNIPER’S commercially reasonable judgment based on the prior performance of the marketing efforts, the Acquisition Budget for the particular year will not result in the cost effective acquisition of Accounts.

Nothing herein shall be deemed to grant to FRONTIER the right to audit internal records of JUNIPER regarding the revenues, income, or profits to JUNIPER of the Affinity Program, or generally.

(b) Upon JUNIPER’S request and upon reasonable prior notice, FRONTIER shall make pertinent records regarding the Affinity Program available to JUNIPER or its auditors, at the sole cost and expense of JUNIPER, at the business premises of FRONTIER during ordinary business hours for the sole purpose of verifying FRONTIER’S compliance with the terms of this Agreement. Nothing herein shall be deemed to grant to JUNIPER the right to audit internal records of FRONTIER regarding the revenues, income, or profits of the Affinity Program to FRONTIER, or generally.

If, however, despite the ongoing commercially reasonable efforts by the defaulting party to cure the default set forth in the notice, the default cannot be remedied within such ***** such time period shall be extended for an additional period of not more than *****, so long as the defaulting party has notified the non-defaulting party in writing and in detail of its plans to initiate substantive steps to remedy the default and diligently thereafter pursues the same to completion within such additional ***** period. In the event that any material change in any federal, state or local law, statute, operating rule or regulation, or any material change in any operating rule or regulation of the Designated Issuer makes the continued performance of this Agreement under the then current terms and conditions unduly burdensome, then JUNIPER shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon ***** advance written notice.

(a) FRONTIER. During the Term of this Agreement, JUNIPER shall have the exclusive right to perform the JUNIPER Product services contemplated by this Agreement, and FRONTIER agrees that during the Term hereof it shall not by itself or in conjunction with others, directly or indirectly, or through any parent, affiliate or subsidiary, offer or endorse, or enter into any agreement with others for the provision of credit card product or credit card product related products or services to FRONTIER Members. For the purposes of this Section 16, charge cards and related services shall be deemed to be a credit card product.

(b) JUNIPER. During the term of this Agreement JUNIPER agrees that it will not enter into a co-branded relationship with the airline that has the largest market share based on Revenue Passengers In and Out as reflected in the Total Operations and Traffic Report issued by Denver International Airport from time to time. The parties recognize that the airline with the largest market share may change, and agree that to the extent JUNIPER has an affinity relationship with an airline prior to that airline becoming airline with the largest market share at the Denver International Airport, this Paragraph will not be interpreted to require JUNIPER to terminate or otherwise discontinue that affinity relationship. In the event JUNIPER does have an affinity relationship with another airline providing service to or from Denver International Airport, JUNIPER hereby covenants that it will not discriminate in favor of such other airline in performing the marketing and support service required by the Affinity Program.

Any and all notices or other communications required or permitted under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be delivered either by personal delivery; by telex, telegram, mailgram or telecopy; by nationally recognized overnight courier service; or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, addressed as follows:

or to such other person or address as either party shall have previously designated to the other by written notice given in the manner set forth above. Notices shall be deemed given one day after sent, if sent by telex, telegram, mailgram, telecopy or by overnight courier; when delivered and receipted for, if hand delivered; or when receipted for (or upon the date of attempted delivery where delivery is refused) if sent by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested. Where notice requires a response in ***** or fewer business days, the notice should be sent by hand delivery or telecopy.

Any assignment by either party of that party’s rights and/or obligations pursuant to the Agreement shall be subject to the prior written consent of the other party to this Agreement, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, provided, the assigning party will be responsible for all legal costs and expenses of the non-assigning party relating to the completion of due diligence and documentation required, whether the assignment requires consent or is permitted pursuant to this Section 18 as set forth below. In addition, and notwithstanding the foregoing, JUNIPER may, with the prior written consent of FRONTIER (which may not be unreasonably withheld), (i) assign this Agreement and any of JUNIPER’S rights and obligations, to any federally regulated financial institution upon the condition that the assignee shall assume, either expressly or by operation of law, all of JUNIPER’S rights and obligations, to any federally regulated financial institution upon the condition that the assignee shall assume, either expressly or by operation of law, all of JUNIPER’S obligations hereunder, upon the delivery of prior written notice thereof to FRONTIER; or (ii) assign this Agreement to a corporate affiliate with the necessary resources to undertake JUNIPER’S obligations hereunder or to an entity that merges with JUNIPER or acquires all or substantially all the assets and obligations of JUNIPER, provided in each case that FRONTIER is reimbursed any expense associated with systems changes, if any, necessitated by said assignment. FRONTIER, without prior written notice or consent to JUNIPER, may assign its rights to receive Fees pursuant to this Agreement to a commercial lending institution which provides a credit facility to FRONTIER as collateral security for such credit facility, or to an entity that merges with FRONTIER or acquires all or substantially all of the assets of FRONTIER.

This Agreement, including exhibits, constitutes the entire understanding between the parties with respect to the subject matter, and supersedes all prior written and oral proposals,

understandings, agreements and representations, all of which are merged herein. No amendment or modification of this agreement shall be effective unless it is in writing and executed by all of the parties hereto.

The failure of either party to insist, in any one or more instances, on the performance of any terms or conditions of this Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver or relinquishment of any rights granted hereunder or of the future performance of any such term or condition, and the obligations of the non-performing party with respect thereto shall continue in full force and effect.

In the event that any provision of this Agreement shall, for any reason, be deemed to be invalid and unenforceable, the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

FRONTIER and JUNIPER hereby waive their rights to resolve disputes through any court proceeding or litigation and acknowledge that all disputes shall be resolved pursuant to this Section, except that equitable relief may be sought pursuant to Section 10 from any court of competent jurisdiction. Both parties represent to the other that this waiver is made knowingly and voluntarily after consultation with and upon the advice of counsel and is a material part of this Agreement.

Any controversy or claim between the parties arising from or in connection with this Agreement or the relationship of the parties under this Agreement whether based on contract, tort, common law, equity, statute, regulation, order or otherwise (“Dispute”), except claims for equitable relief is sought pursuant Section 10, shall be resolved as follows:

(a) Upon written request a duly appointed representative(s) of each party will meet for the purpose of attempting to resolve such Dispute. Should they be unable to resolve the Dispute, the President or a Vice President of FRONTIER will meet with JUNIPER’S Director of Partnership Marketing (the “Executives”) in an effort to resolve the Dispute. Said meeting shall be in person or by telephone.

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

(i) the parties concluding in good faith that amicable resolution through the procedures set forth in subsections (a)-(b) hereof does not appear likely; or

(ii) the expiration of the ***** period immediately following the initial request to negotiate the Dispute;

provided, however, that this Section will not be construed to prevent a party from instituting formal proceedings earlier to avoid the expiration of any applicable limitations period, to preserve a superior position with respect to other creditors or to seek temporary or preliminary injunctive relief. The commencement of a proceeding pursuant to this provision does not relieve a party from the executive consultation requirement contained in this Section.

(a) If the parties are unable to resolve any Dispute as contemplated above, such Dispute shall be submitted to mandatory and binding arbitration at the election of either FRONTIER, on the one hand, and JUNIPER on the other hand (the “Disputing Party”). Except as otherwise provided in this Section, the arbitration shall be pursuant to the Code of Procedure of the National Arbitration Forum (“NAF”), P.O. Box 50191, Minneapolis, MN 55405, (800) 474-2371.

(b) To initiate arbitration, the Disputing Party shall notify the other party in writing (the “Arbitration Demand”) with a copy to the NAF, which shall (i) describe in reasonable detail the nature of the Dispute, (ii) state the amount of the claim, and, (iii) specify the requested relief. Within ***** after the other party’s receipt of the Arbitration Demand, such other party shall file, and serve on the Disputing Party, a written statement (i) answering the claims set forth in the Arbitration Demand and including any affirmative defenses of such party; (ii) asserting any counterclaim, which shall (A) describe in reasonable detail the nature of the Dispute relating to the counterclaim, (B) state the amount of the counterclaim, and (C) specify the requested relief.

(c) If the amount of the controversy set forth in either the claim or counterclaim is less than *****, then the matter shall be resolved by a single arbitrator selected pursuant to the rules of the NAF.

(d) If the amount of the controversy set forth in either the claim or counterclaim is equal to or exceeds *****, then the matter shall be resolved by a panel of three arbitrators (the “Arbitration Panel”) selected pursuant to the rules of the NAF. Decisions of a majority of the members of the Arbitration Panel shall be determinative.

(e) The arbitration hearing shall be held in Chicago, Illinois. The Arbitrator or Arbitration Panel is specifically authorized in proceeding pursuant to Section (d) to render partial or full summary judgment as provided for in the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Unless otherwise agreed by the parties, partial or full summary judgment shall not be available in proceedings pursuant to subsection (c) above. In the event summary judgment or partial summary judgment is granted, the non-prevailing party may not raise as a basis for a motion to vacate an award that the Arbitrator or Arbitration Panel failed or refused to consider evidence

bearing on the dismissed claim(s) or issue(s). The Federal Rules of Evidence shall apply to the arbitration hearing. The party bringing a particular claim or asserting an affirmative defense will have the burden of proof with respect thereto. The arbitration proceedings and all testimony, filings, documents and information relating to or presented during the arbitration proceedings shall be deemed to be information subject to the confidentiality provisions of this Agreement. The Arbitration Panel will have no power or authority, under the Code of Procedure of the NAF or otherwise, to relieve the parties from their agreement hereunder to arbitrate or otherwise to amend or disregard any provision of this Agreement, including, without limitation, the provisions of this Paragraph.

(f) Should an arbitrator refuse or be unable to proceed with arbitration proceedings as called for by this Section, the arbitrator shall be replaced pursuant to the rules of the NAF. If an arbitrator is replaced after the arbitration hearing has commenced, then a rehearing shall take place in accordance with this Section and the Code of Procedure of the NAF.

(g) At the time of granting or denying a motion of summary judgment as provided for in (e) and within ***** after the closing of the arbitration hearing, the arbitrator or Arbitration Panel will prepare and distribute to the parties a writing setting forth the arbitrator’s or Arbitration Panel’s finding of facts and conclusions of law relating to the Dispute, including the reasons for the giving or denial of any award. The findings and conclusions and the award, if any, shall be deemed to be information subject to the confidentiality provisions of this Agreement.

(h) The arbitrator or Arbitration Panel is instructed to schedule promptly all discovery and other procedural steps and otherwise to assume case management initiative and control to effect an efficient and expeditious resolution of the Dispute. The arbitrator or Arbitration Panel is authorized to issue monetary sanctions against either party if, upon a showing of good cause, such party is unreasonably delaying the proceeding.

(i) Any award rendered by the arbitrator or Arbitration Panel will be final, conclusive and binding upon the parties and any judgment hereon may be entered and enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction.

(j) Each party will bear a pro rata share of all fees, costs and expenses of the arbitrators, and notwithstanding any law to the contrary, each party will bear all the fees, costs and expenses of its own attorneys, experts and witnesses; provided, however, that in connection with any judicial proceeding to compel arbitration pursuant to this Agreement or to confirm, vacate or enforce any award rendered by the arbitrator or Arbitration Panel, the prevailing party in such a proceeding shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses incurred in connection with such proceedings, in addition to any other relief to which it may be entitled.

This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have duly executed this Agreement as of the day and year first above written.
