with Sirius.
(b) Formal Resolution. Except as provided in Section 10(d), if you and Sirius cannot resolve a Claim informally, any Claim either of
you or Sirius asserts will be resolved only by binding arbitration. The arbitration will be conducted under the Commercial Arbitration
Rules of the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA Rules”) that are in effect at the time the arbitration is initiated and under
the rules set forth in this EULA. If there is a conflict between the AAA Rules and this EULA, this EULA will govern. ARBITRATION
MEANS THAT YOU WAIVE YOUR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL. If you initiate an arbitration, you agree to pay a fee of $125 or, if
less and you notify Sirius in writing, the amount that you would pay to initiate a lawsuit against Sirius in the appropriate court of your
state. Sirius agrees to pay any additional fee or deposit required by the American Arbitration Association in excess of your filing
fee. Sirius also agrees to pay the costs of the arbitration proceeding up to a maximum of one-half day (four hours) of hearings.
Other fees, such as attorney’s fees, expenses, travel to the arbitration and the costs of a proceeding that goes beyond one-half day,
will be paid in accordance with the AAA Rules. The arbitration will be held at a location within 100 miles of your residence unless
you and Sirius both agree to another location. To start the arbitration, you or Sirius must do the following things:
(i) Write a demand for arbitration. The demand must include a description of the Claim and the amount of damages sought to be
recovered;
(ii) Send three copies of the demand for arbitration plus the appropriate filing fee to: American Arbitration Association, 601 Penn-
sylvania Avenue, N.W., Suite 700, Washington, D.C. 20004; and
(iii) Send one copy of the demand for arbitration by U.S. mail to Sirius Satellite Radio Inc., 1221 Avenue of the Americas, 36th
Floor, New York, New York 10020, Attention: General Counsel, or to your address on file with Sirius (if Sirius starts the arbitration).
(c) Binding Effect. In the arbitration proceeding, the arbitrator must follow applicable law, and any award may be challenged if the
arbitrator fails to do so. The arbitrators shall not have the power, jurisdiction or authority to waive, amend and/or modify any of the
terms or provisions of this EULA. The arbitrators shall enforce this EULA in accordance with its terms and provisions.
Otherwise, the arbitrator’s decision is final and binding on all parties and may be enforced in any federal or state court that has
jurisdiction. A court may sever any portion of this Section 9 that it finds to be unenforceable.
(d) Exceptions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any: (i) dispute over the validity of intellectual property rights or Sirius licenses to
operate its business; (ii) Claim based on Section 2(a) above; and (iii) dispute involving a violation of the Communications Act of
1934, 47 U.S.C. §605, or the Electronic Communications Privacy Act, 18 U.S.C. §§2510-2521, may be decided only by a court
of competent jurisdiction.

any third party. If you sell or otherwise transfer the Receiver as a whole, you may transfer the Receiver Software as fully integrated
into the Receiver; provided that you also supply this EULA to the purchaser or recipient of the Receiver, at which time all of your
rights under this EULA will immediately cease. Sirius may assign its rights and/or obligations under this EULA to any third party
without notice for any purpose, including without limitation, in the event of an acquisition, corporate reorganization, merger or sale
of substantially all of Sirius’ assets to another entity. You hereby consent to such assignment.

right, power or privilege hereunder and no course of dealing by Sirius, its partners or its suppliers (including Microsoft and ZING)
shall operate as a waiver of any right, power or privilege hereunder.
