“(k) The Parties agree and acknowledge that in the event of a final determination by an arbitral tribunal under Section 2.5 of Appendix A that a Party has committed or is committing a continuing material breach of any of [***] of this Agreement that would reasonably be expected to cause material damage to Flash Partners or the non-breaching Party (any such breach, a “Material Breach”), and the breaching Party fails to cure such breach within [***] after such determination, then the non-breaching Party shall have as a remedy for Material Breach the termination of Flash Partners and of this Agreement and the FP Operative Documents, in addition to all other legal and equitable remedies available to such Party. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Appendix A, any such termination shall constitute an “Event of Default” of the breaching Party for all purposes of this Agreement and of that certain FPL Commitment and Extension Agreement among the Parties dated as of October 20, 2015.

In the event that a Party asserts a Material Breach in a written notice to the other Party, the dispute shall proceed as specified in Section 2.5 of Appendix A, provided, however, that

(i) no matters other than the existence of such Material Breach (and counterclaims and defenses directly related to the conduct or circumstances underlying the asserted Material Breach) shall be submitted to or determined by the arbitral tribunal;

(ii) the Parties shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to complete and finalize the Terms of Reference within [***] following such assertion of Material Breach; and

(iii) the Parties shall instruct the arbitral tribunal, with the full assistance and cooperation of the Parties, to endeavor to submit its draft award on the existence of the Material Breach to the Court of Arbitration of the ICC for approval within [***] following the effective date of the Terms of Reference, provided, that any failure to issue an award in such time period shall not be considered a defense or objection to the enforcement of such award.

The Parties agree to attempt in good faith to resolve any potential claim for Material Breach.”

4.2 Restructuring Costs. In connection with any termination of Flash Partners, the FP Master Agreement and/or the FP Operating Agreement:

(a) the Parties shall exercise their respective reasonable best efforts to plan such termination in advance with the goal of minimizing related costs;

(b) with respect to Toshiba employees and SanDisk employees working at the Y3 Facility, (i) in the case of those that are Toshiba employees, Toshiba shall use its reasonable best efforts to retrain or relocate such individuals to other Toshiba facilities, and (ii) in the case of those that are SanDisk employees, SanDisk shall use its reasonable best efforts to retrain or relocate such individuals to other SanDisk facilities, in each case to the maximum extent possible;
