Notwithstanding the foregoing, Resonant shall have no obligation under this Section 7.1 in respect of any infringement arising from: (i) the combination of the infringing Deliverable with other technology, software, materials, designs or products not supplied by Resonant (to the extent such combination is not contemplated by this Agreement or any SOW), if such infringement would not have occurred but for such combination; (ii) any

option and payment of such amounts within forty-five (45) days following the effective date of termination of this Agreement, the Licenses shall be deemed to have continued without termination and Resonant shall not have the right to terminate the Licenses. For the avoidance of doubt, the Licenses may only be terminated, revoked or otherwise lost or forfeited pursuant to this Section 9.4(a), and no other breach, default or termination of this Agreement (including pursuant to Section 9.2(a) or Section 9.3(b)) or any SOW for any reason will affect the Licenses in any way whatsoever.

Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods shall not be applicable.

10.3.    Dispute Resolution; Waiver of Jury Trial. Any dispute relating to this Agreement or a Party’s performance or failure of performance under this Agreement (“Dispute”) will be resolved first through good faith negotiations between the Parties.

The Arbitration shall be conducted by an arbitral tribunal (the “Arbitral Tribunal”) consisting of three (3) neutral arbitrators and each Party shall select one (1) arbitrator and the two arbitrators so appointed shall attempt to agree upon the third arbitrator (who will act as the Chair of the Arbitral Tribunal for administrative purposes only); provided, however, if the amount at issue is less than Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000), then the Arbitration shall be conducted by one (1) neutral arbitrator chosen by mutual agreement of Resonant and Murata. The cost of the arbitration, including the fees and expenses of the arbitrator, will be shared equally by the Parties, with each Party paying its own attorney’s fees. The arbitration award will

be presented to the Parties in writing, and upon the request of either Party, will include findings of fact and conclusions of law. The award may be confirmed and enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction. With regards to any action for a Party’s breach of confidentiality obligations or violation of the other Party’s Intellectual Property Rights, nothing in this Section 10.3 shall preclude either Party from seeking interim equitable relief in the form of a temporary restraining order or preliminary injunction in any court having jurisdiction over the Parties. Any such request by a Party of a court for interim equitable relief shall not be deemed a waiver of the obligation to arbitrate hereunder.

10.4.    Compliance with Laws. Each Party agrees to comply with all Applicable Law as may apply to its performance under or in connection with this Agreement, including all applicable regulations and treaties, and anti-kickback and fraud statutes.

Resonant will obtain any applicable export permits and licenses, and shall be solely responsible for violations of the export control laws of the United States or any other applicable export laws arising from Resonant’s performance of its obligations hereunder, including, but not limited to, the export or deemed export by Resonant of the Deliverables, Resonant Confidential Information and other technology from the United States. Murata shall be solely responsible to ensure that Murata’s marketing and sale of Licensed Products complies with any Applicable Law relating to import/export matters. Murata shall not use or export any Licensed Products or Resonant Confidential Information to any person located in or a national of Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan, Syria or any other countries with which U.S. persons are generally prohibited from engaging in commerce, to any persons on the BIS Entity List, a denied parties list, or otherwise sanctioned; or to persons or entities that will use the technology for prohibited end-uses. Murata shall solely be responsible for violations of the export control laws of the United States or any other applicable export laws arising from the marketing and sale by Murata or attempts thereof, including, but not limited to, the export or deemed export by Murata of Licensed Products or of any Resonant Confidential Information.

10.6.    Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any rights or obligations under this Agreement may be assigned, by operation of law or otherwise, by either Party without the express written consent of the other, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. However, either Party may, without seeking permission of the other party, assign any such rights or obligations under this Agreement to a Third Party (“Acquiring Party”) when such assignment is:

(a)    part of the sale to such Acquiring Party of substantially all of the assets used by the assigning Party to carry out its responsibilities under this Agreement (“Assets”); or

(b)    part of the formation of a separate entity, or merger with an existing Acquiring Party entity, that ultimately contains such Assets.

Any purported assignment in contravention of this Section 10.6 shall be null and void. This Agreement shall be binding upon the Parties and their successors and permitted assigns.

10.7.    Contract Interpretation.

At the request of either Party, the other Party shall re-execute original forms thereof and deliver them to the requesting Party. No Party shall raise the use of a facsimile machine, PDF attachment or DocuSign electronic signature to deliver a signature or the fact that any signature was transmitted or communicated through such use as a defense.

10.9.    Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts that together shall be originals and constitute one and the same instrument.

10.10.    Waiver. The failure of either Party to enforce any of its rights hereunder or at law shall not be deemed a waiver or a continuing waiver of any of its rights or remedies against the other Party, unless such waiver is in writing and signed by the Party to be charged.

10.11.    Severability. If any provision of this Agreement, or part thereof, is declared by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable, each and every other provision, or part thereof, shall nevertheless continue in full force and effect.
