If Seller can demonstrate, in good faith, that claims of any such Identified Patent or any patent related by priority claim to such Identified Patent (collectively, the “Identified Patent Family”) are material to the Retained Business, then each patent or patent application (as applicable) in such Identified Patent Family will remain owned by Seller or any of its Affiliates (and for clarity, subject to the covenant not to sue in Section 5.9(f)(i)). If there is a good faith dispute between the parties with respect to the demonstration set forth in the prior sentence, such dispute shall be escalated to the Chief Executive Officer of Seller and the Chief Executive Officer of Purchaser for resolution within twenty (20) days of such notice, and each party shall use reasonable efforts to cause the Chief Executive Officers to reach a mutually agreeable resolution during such period. If the Chief Executive Officers of Seller and Purchaser are unable to negotiate a mutually agreeable resolution within such twenty (20)-day period, then such matter shall be finally resolved by arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”) pursuant to its Commercial Arbitration Rules and their Expedited Procedures, before a sole arbitrator to be appointed by AAA. If Seller cannot demonstrate the foregoing with respect to any Identified Patent Family, then all patents and patent applications in such Identified Patent Family shall be deemed included on Section 2.4(d) of the Seller Disclosure Schedules and transferred to Purchaser effective as of the Closing Date, at no additional cost to Purchaser (and for clarity, subject to the covenant not to sue in Section 5.9(f)(ii)).
