3.5.1    Changes that are not Significant Changes and do not involve Bespoke [HW Gen] Components. Continental may make any engineering and other changes to the Specifications, the Materials List or the [HW Gen] Components that are not Bespoke [HW Gen] Components, including changes to the manufacturing process or location, or handling of materials (subject to Continental’s contractual obligations with Aurora’s OEMs) of the [HW Gen] Components, or Tooling therefore, as long as (a) the change is not a Significant Change and the [HW Gen] AD Kit or the [HW Gen] Components, as applicable continue to meet the applicable Specifications and Milestones and (b) except for changes to B Level Components or C Level Components that do not constitute a Significant Change, Continental provides written notice to Aurora at least thirty (30) Business Days in advance, which shall include sample data for verification if applicable. In such thirty (30) day period, the Parties shall discuss in

good faith and mutually agree whether a buffer stock of the affected [HW Gen] Component shall be created to fulfill [HW Gen] AD Kit material call offs with the original unmodified [HW Gen] Component.

3.5.2    Significant Changes and Changes to Bespoke [HW Gen] Components. Significant Changes to the Specifications, Materials List, [HW Gen] Components or otherwise and changes to Bespoke [HW Gen] Components may not be implemented without the prior approval of Aurora. Continental shall submit in writing an Engineering Change Order (“ECO”) for Aurora’s consideration, as soon as reasonably practicable after Continental (or Aurora) learns of the need for a Significant Change or a change to a Bespoke [HW Gen] Component. The ECO must contain a description of the impact of the requested Significant Change (or change to a Bespoke [HW Gen] Component) to the Specifications, cost, quality, or schedule of the [HW Gen] Components. To the extent possible, the Parties shall endeavor to resolve any changes without any additional costs to Aurora. Aurora shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to document and transmit to Continental the approval (or rejection) within ten (10) Business Days (but, in any event, no greater than thirty (30) Business Days) after receipt by Aurora of an ECO describing the proposed Significant Change (or change to a Bespoke [HW Gen] Component). If Aurora fails to respond to Continental’s written notice of Aurora’s failure to respond in such timeframe within ten (10) Business Days from receipt of such notice, such failure will constitute approval of the Significant Change (or change to a Bespoke [HW Gen] Component). In the event that a Significant Change (or change to a Bespoke [HW Gen] Component) is rejected, the Parties shall immediately escalate the issue in accordance with the Business Review Process.

3.5.3    Regulatory Changes. Continental shall make all engineering or other changes to the Specifications, the Materials List, the [HW Gen] Components, or Tooling therefore required by a change of (or modified interpretation by any Authority of) any Applicable Law (“Regulatory Change”), provided that if the Regulatory Change would constitute a Significant Change or a change to a Bespoke [HW Gen] Component and Aurora reasonably disagrees with the proposed change or the underlying interpretation of Applicable Law, the Parties shall discuss in good faith and must mutually agree on any such Regulatory Change prior to Continental making such Regulatory Change. Prior to the implementation of any Regulatory Change that constitutes a Significant Change, Continental shall communicate detailed information regarding the Significant Change to Aurora by means of an ECO. After studying the impact of the proposed Regulatory Change that constitutes a Significant Change or change to a Bespoke [HW Gen] Component, Aurora and Continental shall jointly decide on the plan for implementation, including

confirming any effect on the cost, timing/schedule, or quality. For any Regulatory Change due to a law, regulation, or Authority of a jurisdiction in which Aurora does not operate, [***]. Subject to the foregoing, for any other Regulatory Change that impacts an [HW Gen] Component that is sold to multiple customers of Continental, [***]. Aurora shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to document and transmit to Continental any written notice of disagreement of a requested Regulatory Change within five (5) Business Days (but, in any event, no greater than thirty (30) Business Days) after completion of the applicable study and Continental’s proposal for an implementation plan. If Aurora fails to respond to Continental’s written notice of Aurora’s failure to respond in such timeframe within ten (10) Business Days from receipt of such notice, such failure will constitute approval of such Significant Change (or change to a Bespoke [HW Gen] Component). Each Party’s obligation to monitor for such Regulatory Change is defined in Section 15.

3.5.4    Software Updates. The Parties shall mutually agree on a process and the applicable terms for how updates to software within the [HW Gen] AD Kit or otherwise provided by Continental to Aurora or its Customers may or shall be made; provided that Aurora shall have the sole decision on when and how such updates are deployed (i.e., pushed) to the applicable Vehicle, including special expedited procedures applicable to certain updates. The Parties shall work together to enable software updates to the [HW Gen] Components through the Aurora Services framework. Once agreed to by the Parties, no later than Milestone C01-M2 Milestone Date, such process and terms shall be documented in Appendix Y and attached to this Agreement. In the case that the Parties cannot mutually agree on the process and terms for software updates, the matters shall be taken to the Dispute Resolution Process for a decision. In the event that Continental has provided a software update that would have prevented or reduced a claim that Continental otherwise would have been liable for, and the liability is incurred after Continental has provided the software update and before Aurora has implemented that software update, Continental shall not be liable to the extent the liability results from such failure to implement the update if Aurora has not used Commercially Reasonable Efforts to implement the update, provided that Continental followed the software update process set forth in Appendix Y.

3.5.5    Cooperation with OEMs. Continental shall reasonably cooperate with Aurora’s requests for Continental to share details and data related to requested changes to Aurora’s OEMs.

20.2    Covered Generations. The Parties intend for the following Generations of the [HW Gen] AD Kit to be covered during the Term: (a) [HW Kit 0.9], (b) [HW Kit 1.0], and (c) [HW Kit 1.1] (“Covered [HW Gen]s”). For clarity, only the individual components of the [HW Kit 0.9] explicitly identified as in scope of the [HW Gen 0.9] Development Plan shall be considered a Covered [HW Gen] (i.e., the entire [Prev Gen HW] generation of the Aurora Driver hardware kit will not be considered a Covered [HW Gen]). The Parties will negotiate in good faith to further define [HW Kit 0.9] and [HW Kit 1.1] after the Effective Date. The Parties shall agree on the definition of [HW Kit 0.9] and any necessary additional terms applicable to such Generation in a Development Plan to be executed by the Parties in writing by the Finalization Date (“[HW Kit 0.9] Development Plan”).

The [HW Kit 1.1] Development Plan shall include material technical and commercial terms, and an [HW Kit 1.1] target start of production date [***] and an [HW Kit 1.1] target end of production date of [***], unless otherwise agreed to by the Parties. Once executed, the [HW Kit 1.1] Development Plan will be attached as Appendix U.

20.3.2    In its sole discretion, Aurora may elect to extend [HW Kit 1.0] through the Term in lieu of pursuing [HW Kit 1.1] (“[HW Gen] 1.0 Extension”). If Aurora elects an [HW Gen] 1.0 Extension, the Covered [HW Gen]s shall be deemed automatically amended such that [HW Kit 1.1] is no longer included without need for a formal amendment to be executed by the Parties.

20.3.3    In the event (a) after good faith negotiations, the [HW Kit 1.1] Development Plan is not executed by [***] after approval by the Steering Committee at [***] (“[HW Kit 1.1] Definition Deadline”) and (b) Aurora does not elect to pursue an [HW Gen] 1.0 Extension on or before the [HW Kit 1.1] Definition Deadline (such event in (a) a “Non Continuance of [HW Kit 1.1]”), then as of [***], the Term shall be deemed automatically amended to expire on [***] without need for a formal amendment to be executed by the Parties. In the event of a Non Continuance of [HW Kit 1.1], the Covered [HW Gen]s shall be deemed automatically amended such that [HW Kit 1.1] is no longer included without need for a formal amendment to be executed by the Parties.

(a)    Aurora shall pay Continental [***].

20.3.4    Long Lead 1.1 Investments

(a)    The Parties have intentionally set the [HW Kit 1.1] Definition Deadline later than the required kick-off date for [HW Kit 1.1] to be delivered in time to meet an SOP date for [HW Kit 1.1] of [***] to enable both Parties to have more information prior to making a binding decision on [HW Kit 1.1]. Accordingly, Continental will make certain investments in [HW Kit 1.1] mutually agreed to by the Parties prior to the [HW Kit 1.1] Definition Deadline (“Long

Lead 1.1 Investments”). The Parties will mutually agree to such Long Lead 1.1 Investments, including defining the applicable scopes of work, deliverables, and not to exceed amounts in a signed writing (“Long Lead 1.1 Investment Guidelines”), by [***]. Once executed, the Long Lead 1.1 Investment Guidelines will be attached as Appendix V.

(b)    If the Parties execute an [HW Kit 1.1] Development Plan, the Long Lead Investments will be treated as Development Costs for [HW Kit 1.1] in such [HW Kit 1.1] Development Plan.

(c)    In the event of (i) a Non Continuance of [HW Kit 1.1] or (ii) an [HW Gen] 1.0 Extension, Aurora will reimburse Continental for [***].

(d)    For the avoidance of doubt, the exercise of a Non Continuance of [HW Kit 1.1] or [HW Gen] 1.0 Extension will not impact the Support Term for Covered [HW Gen]s.

20.4    Termination for Continental Breach or Insolvency. Aurora may terminate this Agreement by providing written notice of termination to Continental if Continental:

Continental may terminate this Agreement by providing at least thirty (30) calendar days’ written notice if Aurora fails to pay an undisputed amount owed to Continental under this Agreement and such non-payment remains uncured at least [***] after Aurora receives written notice of such failure from Continental. This right of termination shall not be limited in the event that Aurora becomes the subject of any insolvency or bankruptcy proceeding.

20.6    Early Termination by Aurora Upon its Change of Control. If Aurora undergoes a Change of Control on or before [***], Aurora or its Acquiror may elect to terminate this Agreement, in exchange for [***], by providing at least ninety (90) calendar days’ written notice of termination.

Continental shall, at no additional cost to Aurora, (a) supply all information reasonably requested by Aurora regarding the provision of the [HW Gen] Components, including identification of all Suppliers, access by Aurora to Continental’s manufacturing process (including on-site inspections by Aurora), Tooling, and process detail and samples, each as reasonably necessary to transfer the supply of [HW Gen] Components to an alternative supplier identified by Aurora and (b) as requested by Aurora, either (i) secure the express contractual right for Aurora to act as an authorized purchaser under Continental’s contract(s) with Supplier(s) for the supply of [HW Gen] Component(s) that are identified by Aurora, whereby Aurora may issue purchase orders under such supply contract(s) for the provision of the applicable [HW Gen] Components that create and become separate contracts that incorporate the terms and conditions of such supply contract(s) or (ii) assign to Aurora Continental’s contract(s) with Supplier(s) for the supply of [HW Gen] Component(s) that are identified by Aurora (collectively, “Transition Assistance”). Continental shall not be obligated to violate any confidentiality obligations with third parties in order to provide such Transition Assistance involving the third party. In such an event, Continental will use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to facilitate Transition Assistance. In the event Continental reasonably believes such a violation would occur, Continental will (a) use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to secure permission from the applicable third party to permit the applicable Transition Assistance and (b) allow a third-party auditor (who has signed a reasonable non-disclosure agreement) to review the obligation to verify that it does indeed exist, and report its findings to Aurora.

20.7.2    Continuation of Supply. Continental shall at the request of Aurora continue to supply [HW Gen] Components pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including [***], during the entire period reasonably needed by Aurora to complete a transition of production (but not to exceed the shorter of [***]) including, upon Aurora’s request, providing a sufficient bank of [HW Gen] Components necessary for the orderly transition without production interruption and until Aurora directs Continental to cease production. If Continental experiences any delivery, operational or quality problems, Aurora may, but is not required to, designate one or more representatives to be present in Continental’s applicable facility to

observe Continental’s daily operations related to the production of [HW Gen] Components for Aurora until the issues giving rise to request for observation have been resolved to Aurora’s satisfaction.

20.7.3    Continued Production of OTS Components. For Continental’s off-the-shelf components used in the [HW Gen] AD Kit (such as [***]), upon request by Aurora, Continental shall continue to provide those components to Aurora or its designee [***].

20.7.4    Continued Production of Quasi-Custom Components. For completed quasi-custom components, such as [***], upon request by Aurora, Continental shall provide those components to Aurora or its designee [***].

20.7.5    License of Necessary IP. Granted as of the Effective Date, Continental hereby grants to Aurora, solely exploitable upon a Trigger Event or Aurora’s termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 20.4, a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-fee and fully paid (except as explicitly set forth in this Section 20.7.5) license to all Continental Background IP, Continental Sensitive Technology and Continental Developed Technology as strictly necessary to continue the production and support of the [HW Gen] Components after such Trigger Event or termination. This license: (a) would continue for as long as reasonably needed by Aurora to continue producing and supporting [HW Gen] AD Kits; and (b) is sublicensable as Aurora may elect in order to continue such production and support for Aurora’s and its Customers’ use of [HW Gen] Components. For avoidance of doubt, such license shall only be used to support a Covered [HW Gen] covered under this Agreement.

20.7.6    Continental Resuming Production After Trigger Event. After Aurora has declared a Trigger Event and exercised its right pursuant to Section 20.7.1 to source some or all of the [HW Gen] Components outside of this Agreement, Aurora may subsequently require Continental to resume some or all of its production and supply under this Agreement upon commercially reasonable prior notice. In such an event, the Parties shall negotiate reasonably and in good faith a detailed plan for Continental to resume its duties.

20.8    No Withholding of Performance. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, and even if a dispute arises between the Parties so long as the Parties are working in good faith, in accordance with this Agreement to resolve such a dispute, Continental shall not withhold the provision and support of [HW Gen] AD Kits or [HW Gen] Components or its performance of Services, or perform any other action that materially prevents, impedes, or reduces in any way the provision of [HW Gen] AD Kits or [HW Gen] Components, unless authority to do so is granted by Aurora or conferred by a court or arbitrator. For avoidance

of doubt, the following shall not be considered withholding of performance: (a) Continental halting development activities post termination in accordance with this Agreement, subject to Continental’s obligations under Section 20.7 and subject to Continental completing PPAP for [HW Gen] Components that were within three (3) months of PPAP completion at the time of termination; (b) Continental failing to deliver Aurora’s full order of any [HW Gen] AD Kits or [HW Gen] Components where such orders are subject to supply shortages due to a Force Majeure Event and Continental delivers to Aurora partial quantities based on Continental’s reasonable allocation process used to supply Continental’s OEM customers as defined in Appendix R; (c) Continental cannot perform due to a Force Majeure Event and Continental has followed the procedures of Appendix P; or (d) Continental withholds performance due to Aurora’s non-payment for which Continental would otherwise have a termination right pursuant to Section 20.5.

20.9    Effects of Termination.

20.9.1    Upon Aurora’s termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 20.4.1 or 20.4.2, or payment of amounts due in Section 20.6, Aurora’s obligation to reimburse Continental for Development Costs will terminate. In the event of Aurora’s termination pursuant to Section 20.4.3, Aurora shall pay [***].

20.9.2    The termination of this Agreement will not release either Party from any outstanding obligations under this Agreement accruing prior to such termination, except as stated in Section 20.9.1, and will not limit a Party from pursuing any other remedies available to it.

20.9.3    The rights and obligations of the Parties that would by their nature continue beyond the expiration or earlier termination will survive any termination or expiration of this Agreement, including:

20.9.4    The exclusivity obligations of Section 11 shall survive termination of the Agreement pursuant to Section 20.4 solely as set forth in Section 11.

21.1    Dispute Resolution. Upon a dispute between the Parties relating to this Agreement (including their failure to agree on matters requiring mutual approval), except for disputes subject to Appendix M and subject to the provisions of the Business Review Process set forth in Appendix K if applicable, the Parties shall implement the following escalation procedure before either Party initiates arbitration or pursues other available remedies, except that either Party may: (a) seek injunctive relief from a court where appropriate (including in order to maintain the status quo) while this escalation procedure is being followed; or (b) initiate arbitration if the expiration of the statute of limitations for a cause of action is imminent (the “Dispute Resolution Process”):

21.1.1    A Party (the “Requesting Party”) may invoke this Section 21.1 by submitting a notice to the other Party (the “Responding Party”) and describing the matter in dispute (the “Disputed Matter”) in such notice.

The Responding Party shall respond to this notice within five (5) Business Days after receipt and the Parties shall attempt to resolve the Disputed Matter in good faith.

21.1.2    If the Parties are unable to resolve the Disputed Matter within five (5) Business Days after the Responding Party’s response, then the Requesting Party shall arrange a first meeting to be held at a mutually convenient time and place (in-person or via telephone or video conference) but in no event later than ten (10) Business Days after the end of this five (5) Business Day period. The Parties, including their respective Steering Committee members, shall participate in this first meeting and shall attempt to resolve the Disputed Matter in good faith.

21.1.3    If the Parties are unable to resolve the Disputed Matter within five (5) Business Days after the first meeting, then the Requesting Party shall arrange a second meeting to be held at a mutually convenient time and place (in-person or via telephone or video conference) but in no event later than thirty (30) Business Days after the end of this five (5) Business Day period, and the Chief Executive Officer and Steering Committee members of each Party shall attend this second meeting.

21.1.4    If the Parties are unable to resolve the Disputed Matter within five (5) Business Days after this second meeting, then either Party may commence confidential and binding arbitration in accordance with Section 21.2.

21.2    Arbitration. If no mutually acceptable settlement of such dispute is reached through the Dispute Resolution Process in Section 21.1, then the Parties agree that any dispute arising out of or in relation to this Agreement or the rights and obligations hereunder must be arbitrated in the English language before three arbitrators under the administration of Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services, Inc. (JAMS) under its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures and pursuant to the Expedited Procedures thereunder (“Rules”). Each Party shall appoint one arbitrator within fifteen (15) calendar days of receipt of the notice of the Party requesting arbitration and the arbitrators so selected shall, within fifteen (15) calendar days of their appointment, then select the third arbitrator. Upon failure of a Party (or the Parties) to appoint an arbitrator (or of the arbitrators selected to appoint a third arbitrator) as contemplated in the foregoing sentence, JAMS shall appoint the arbitrator. The seat of and location for the arbitration will be in Delaware. A Party may seek interim injunctive relief under these Rules and before any court having jurisdiction, and each Party hereby submits to the personal jurisdiction of any court reasonably chosen by the initiating Party for such purposes. The initiating Party shall reimburse the other Party’s costs if the court declines jurisdiction. The arbitral panel will be empowered to grant injunctive relief upon application. Awards of the arbitral panel will be enforceable in any court having jurisdiction, and each Party hereby submits to the personal

jurisdiction of any court reasonably chosen by the enforcing Party for such purposes. The enforcing Party shall reimburse the other Party’s costs if the court declines jurisdiction.

22.1    Governing Law; Venue. This Agreement and the rights and obligations of the Parties under this Agreement are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to the principles thereof relating to the conflicts of laws, and excluding the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. All disputes hereunder must be resolved by the binding arbitration provisions stated in Section 21.2 to the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Law, except that either Party may elect to seek injunctive or similar relief in any court having jurisdiction over the other Party.

22.2    Anti-Bribery. Each Party shall comply with all applicable commercial and public anti-bribery Applicable Laws in connection with this Agreement, including the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, the UK Bribery Act of 2010, all of which in general prohibit corrupt offers of anything of value, either directly or indirectly to anyone, including Government Officials, to obtain or keep business or to secure any other improper commercial advantage. “Government Officials” include any government employee; candidate for public office; and employee of government-owned or government-controlled companies, public international organizations, and political parties. Furthermore, neither Party will make any facilitation payments, which are payments to induce officials to perform routine functions they are otherwise obligated to perform. Each Party shall use all Commercially Reasonable Efforts to comply with the other Party’s due diligence process related to compliance with Applicable Laws, including providing requested information.

22.3    No Discrimination. Neither Party will discriminate on the basis of age, race, creed, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability, marital or veteran status, or any other basis that is prohibited by Applicable Law, in connection with this Agreement.

22.4    Aurora and Continental Supplier Code of Conduct. The Parties have implemented Codes of Conducts, as attached as Appendix X to this Agreement (hereinafter “CoC”) that as of the Effective Date are substantially equivalent in content and scope. The Parties acknowledge and agree that neither Party requires the other to adhere to such Party’s CoC. The Parties further acknowledge and agree that they have the authority to bind their respective subsidiaries to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The Parties agree to adhere to their own CoC in all business relations with the other Party and they expect their business partners to adhere to similar standards of ethical behavior; provided that in the event of a conflict between this Agreement and the applicable CoC, the terms of this

Agreement shall apply with respect to the Parties’ performance of this Agreement. Furthermore, if needed for compliance purposes, the Parties will, acting reasonably and in good faith, provide documentation intended to verify that a Party is complying with its respective CoC. Each Party shall have the right to make reasonable changes to their respective CoC and will provide any such updated CoC upon request.

22.5    Waiver and Amendment. No modification, amendment or supplement to, or waiver of any provision of, this Agreement will be effective unless in writing, specifying the Sections of this Agreement being affected, and signed by an authorized representative of each Party (i.e., President/CEOs (or other officer(s) to whom the President/CEO has delegated such authority in writing)). No failure or delay by either Party in exercising any right, power or remedy under this Agreement will operate as a waiver of any such right, power or remedy, nor will any single or partial exercise of any right, power or remedy hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy.

22.6    Assignment. Neither Party may assign this Agreement or any of its rights, or delegate any of its obligations, under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other Party, except Aurora may assign this Agreement, together with all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, without Continental’s written consent, to its successor entity, whether by merger, reincorporation, reorganization, sale of all or substantially all of its assets or otherwise. Any purported or attempted assignment, transfer or delegation in violation of this Section is void and will have no force or effect. No transfer (including to a successor or Affiliate) will relieve the transferring Party of any of its obligations under this Agreement unless the non-transferring Party enters into a novation releasing the transferring Party of its obligations hereunder, which shall be in the non-transferring Party’s sole discretion.

22.7    Notices. All notices, notifications, requests, demands or determinations for termination or damages or claims provided by either Party must be in English, in writing and delivered in hard copy by one of the following methods, and will be deemed delivered upon receipt: (a) by hand, (b) by a reputable express courier with a reliable system for tracking delivery, or (c) by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid. Unless otherwise notified, notices will be delivered as follows:

If to Continental:

[***]

If to Aurora:

[***]

Normal operating business communications will be sent by e-mail or first class mail, which need not be confirmed by registered mail, and will be addressed to individual contacts at the respective Party as agreed in advance by the Parties from time to time.

22.8    Independent Contractors. The Parties are independent contractors. Neither Party will be deemed to be a joint venturer, agent, partner or legal representative of the other for any purpose and neither Party will have any right, power, or authority to create any obligation or responsibility on behalf of the other Party unless that Party specifically consents in writing.

22.9    Performance Through Affiliates and Contractors. Continental shall not use any Affiliate operating outside [***] without explicit written permission from Aurora. Each Party will be fully responsible to the other Party for the acts and omissions of all parties acting on its behalf. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Party shall retain or utilize Affiliates or Suppliers in contravention of an express provision of this Agreement that prohibits such retention. Continental hereby waives, and releases Aurora Indemnified Parties from any liability resulting from any and all Supplier Claims brought against Continental.

22.10    Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or otherwise unenforceable by a court, there will be added automatically as a part of this Agreement a new provision as similar in terms to the invalid or unenforceable provision as may be possible. The remaining provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect.

22.11    Complete Understanding. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, this Agreement and the attached Appendices constitutes the final, complete and exclusive agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous agreements or understanding, whether verbal or written. [***].

22.12    No Conflicting Terms. In ordering and invoicing hereunder, Aurora and Continental may use their standard forms, but no terms or conditions stated in any such forms will apply or otherwise be construed to amend, modify, or add to the terms of this Agreement.

22.13    Further Assurances. Each Party shall execute and deliver the additional documents and take the further actions as may be reasonably required to carry out the provisions of this Agreement and give effect to the transactions contemplated hereby.

22.14    Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is for the sole benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns and, except for the rights of the Aurora Indemnified Parties and Continental Indemnified Parties under Section 16, nothing herein, express or implied, is intended to or will confer upon any other Person any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy.

22.15    Cumulative Remedies. All rights and remedies provided in this Agreement are cumulative and not exclusive, and the exercise by a Party of any right or remedy does not preclude the exercise of any other rights or remedies that are available at law, in equity, or otherwise.

22.16    Construction. The word “including” is not intended to be exclusive and means “including, but not limited to.” The word “or” is not intended to be exclusive unless the context clearly requires otherwise. All references to an Appendix in this Agreement will include subsequent iterations of that same Appendix. For example, a reference to Appendix B will mean Appendix B-1, Appendix B-2, Appendix B-3, and so forth. Each Party and its counsel have carefully reviewed this Agreement, and, accordingly, no rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities in this Agreement are to be construed against the drafting Party will apply in the interpretation of this Agreement. The Parties intend that: (a) the Main Agreement Terms, the Appendices, and the other written exhibits or attachments executed by the Parties under this Agreement, be interpreted as an integrated whole; and (b) an Appendix or other executed document under this Agreement will not be interpreted to modify a provision of the Main Agreement Terms unless it specifically identifies the section number of the provision and states the nature of the modification. In the event of any conflict between the documents constituting this Agreement, such documents shall be read and interpreted in such a way as to give the maximum effect to all such documents; provided, however, that in the event of an irreconcilable conflict, the Main Agreement Terms shall take precedence over the Appendices. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of an irreconcilable conflict, any amendments to this Agreement and/or the Appendices shall take precedence based on their recency of execution (i.e., documents executed most recently shall take precedence) provided however, for the avoidance of doubt, that the Main Agreement Terms (and any amendments to the Main Agreement Terms) shall always take precedence over the Appendices (including any more recent amendments to the Appendices).

22.17    Force Majeure Event. Except for Continental’s failure to implement and maintain the procedures set forth in Appendix P, neither Party will be in breach of this Agreement on account of any delay or failure to perform as required by this Agreement to the extent that the delay or failure to perform is due to a Force Majeure Event; provided, that: (a) the affected Party provides timely notice of any event or circumstance that it believes is or might become a Force Majeure Event, and in no event later than five (5) calendar days following actual knowledge of the condition; and (b) the affected Party must use all Commercially Reasonable Efforts to mitigate the effects of the Force Majeure Event. The suspension of performance will be of no greater scope and of no longer duration than is reasonably required by the Force Majeure Event. No obligations of the affected Party that arose before the occurrence of the Force Majeure Event will be excused as a result of the occurrence. When the affected Party is able to resume

performance of its obligations under this Agreement, it shall give the other Party notice to that effect and shall promptly resume performance.

22.18    Counterparts; Electronic Copies. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which will constitute an original, and all of which will constitute one agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart by facsimile, electronic mail in portable document format (.pdf), or by any other electronic means intended to preserve the original graphic and pictorial appearance of a document, has the same effect as delivery of an executed original of this Agreement.
