53 connection with, this Agreement, irrespective of whether such Dispute concerns an alleged breach of this Agreement or interpretation of this Agreement, may be raised by either Party under this Section 11.12 (Dispute Resolution), except that (a) any Dispute relating to any provision of this Agreement set forth in Section 11.12.9 (Exempt Provisions) shall not be subject to this Section 11.12 (Dispute Resolution); (b) this Section 11.12 (Dispute Resolution) shall be subject to and superseded by the rights and requirements of the Secretary under 15 CFR § 231.304 – 231.307, as applicable; and (c) no Party shall have the right to raise any matter as a Dispute arbitrarily or capriciously, or concerning a question of fact or law that has previously been raised (or in relation to which a substantially similar matter has already been raised) under this Section 11.12 (Dispute Resolution). 11.12.2 General Principles. If a Dispute arises, the Parties shall attempt to resolve the Dispute by discussion and mutual agreement as soon as practicable. In no event shall a Dispute that arose more than sixty (60) days prior to the notification made under Section 11.12.3 (Dispute Notice) constitute the basis for relief under this Section 11.12 (Dispute Resolution) unless the Department, at its sole discretion, waives this requirement. For the avoidance of doubt, failure of a Party to raise a Dispute within the sixty (60) day period prior to the notification made under Section 11.12.3 (Dispute Notice) shall not prejudice any judicial remedies available to such Party. 11.12.3 Dispute Notice. Upon failure to resolve a Dispute by mutual agreement of the Parties as described under Section 11.12.2 (General Principles), the aggrieved Party may document the Dispute by notifying the other Party (the “Responding Party”) in writing (such notice, a “Dispute Notice”), documenting the relevant facts, identifying unresolved issues, specifying the clarification or remedy sought, documenting the rationale as to why the clarification/remedy is appropriate, and identifying the type of event related to such Dispute in the column headed “Relevant Event” contained in the table set forth in Schedule G (Dispute Resolution) (any such event, a “Relevant Event”). 11.12.4 Referral to Initial Decision-Maker. The aggrieved Party shall deliver the Dispute Notice (the “Referral”) to (a) the “Department Initial Decision-Maker” identified in the table in Schedule G (Dispute Resolution) corresponding to the applicable Relevant Event if the Recipient is the aggrieved Party and (b) the “Recipient Initial Decision-Maker” identified in the table in Schedule G (Dispute Resolution) corresponding to the applicable Relevant Event if the Department is the aggrieved Party. 11.12.5 Decision by Initial Decision-Maker. During the ten (10) days after providing a Dispute Notice to the Responding Party in accordance with Section 11.12.4 (Referral to Initial Decision- Maker), the aggrieved Party may provide any other new relevant facts in writing to the Initial Decision- Maker of the Responding Party. Such Initial Decision-Maker shall conduct a review of the Dispute and render a decision in writing with respect to the Dispute within thirty (30) days of receipt of the Dispute Notice. The Initial Decision-Maker may make any reasonable inquiries to aid in the preparation of its decision with respect to the matter and seek extension of any applicable time limits, by mutual agreement of the Parties. Any decision issued by the Initial Decision-Maker shall be the final and binding decision of the Responding Party, unless the aggrieved Party shall, within ten (10) days from the receipt of the written decision of the Initial Decision-Maker, request escalation as provided by Section 11.12.6 (Escalation). 11.12.6 Escalation. (a) Within ten (10) days of receipt of the written decision of the Initial Decision-Maker pursuant to Section 11.12.5 (Decision by Initial Decision-Maker) above, the aggrieved Party may submit a notice to the Responding Party (the “Escalation Notice”) requesting a formal consultation with (a) the “Department Escalation Decision-Maker” identified in the table in Schedule G

(d) The Responding Party’s Escalation Decision-Maker (or authorized designee thereof) shall submit a written decision with respect to the Dispute as soon as possible after the Escalation Decision-Maker Meeting, and in any event within one hundred eighty (180) days of the date of the Referral. (e) The decision issued by the Responding Party’s Escalation Decision- Maker shall be the final and binding decision of the Responding Party. 11.12.7 Unresolved Dispute. In the event an aggrieved Party disagrees with the decision of the Responding Party’s Escalation Decision-Maker described in Section 11.12.6 (Escalation), or in the absence of any written decision by the Responding Party’s Escalation Decision-Maker (or authorized designee thereof) within one hundred eighty (180) days of the date of the Referral, either Party may pursue any right or remedy under the Financing Documents or provided by Applicable Law, provided that neither Party may pursue any such right or remedy prior to the date that is one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of the Referral (or such earlier date as may be mutually agreed by the Parties). 11.12.8 Stay of Remedies. During the pendency of any Dispute under this Section 11.12 (Dispute Resolution), each of the Department's remedies (other than those remedies relating to a Dispute regarding an Event of Default in connection with the provisions under Section 11.12.9 (Exempt Provisions)) shall be stayed. 11.12.9 Exempt Provisions.

56 any Indemnified Party (as determined pursuant to a final, Non-Appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction).
