• Arbitration Decision The arbitrator’s decision will be final and binding. The arbitrator shall issue a written arbitration decision revealing the essential findings and conclusions upon which the decision and/or award is based. A party’s right to appeal the decision is limited to grounds provided under applicable federal or state law.

• Arbitration Procedure The Arbitration shall be held in the continental United States under the rules of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"). The arbitration shall be conducted by three (3) arbitrators who are knowledgeable in the subject matter at issue in the dispute. One (1) arbitrator will be selected by Anacor, one (1) arbitrator will be selected by GSK, and the third arbitrator will be selected by mutual agreement of the two (2) arbitrators selected by the Parties. The arbitrators may proceed to an award, notwithstanding the failure of either Party to participate in the proceedings. The arbitrators shall, within fifteen (15) calendar days after the conclusion of the arbitration hearing, issue a written award and statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded. The arbitrators shall be authorized to award compensatory damages, but shall not be authorized to award non-economic damages or punitive damages, or to reform, modify or materially change this Agreement. The arbitrators also shall be authorized to grant any temporary, preliminary or permanent equitable remedy or relief the arbitrators deem just and equitable and within the scope of this Agreement, including an injunction or order for specific performance. The award of the arbitrators shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Parties (except for those remedies set forth in this Agreement). Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrators may be enforced in any court having competent jurisdiction thereof, subject only to revocation on grounds of fraud or clear bias on the part of the arbitrators. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 14.2 to the contrary, each Party shall have the right to institute judicial proceedings against the other Party or anyone acting by, through or under such other Party, in order to enforce the instituting Party's rights hereunder through specific performance, injunction or similar equitable relief.

The controversy shall then be arbitrated, pursuant to the rules promulgated by the AAA (the “Rules”), in the state of California. The parties will select by mutual agreement the arbitrator or arbitrators to herein resolve the controversy; provided, however, that, the parties cannot mutually agree as to the arbitrator, then the arbitrator shall be selected by the AAA in accordance with the Rules.

• Arbitration If any dispute arises under this Agreement or otherwise which cannot be resolved by mutual discussion between the parties, then the Company and Executive each agree to resolve that dispute by binding arbitration before an arbitrator experienced in employment law. Said arbitration will be conducted in accordance with the rules applicable to employment disputes of the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services (“JAMS”) and the law applicable to the claim. The parties shall have thirty (30) calendar days after notice of such arbitration has been given to attempt to agree on the selection of an arbitrator from JAMS. In the event the parties are unable to agree in such time, JAMS will provide a list of five (5) available arbitrators and an arbitrator will be selected from such five member panel provided by JAMS by the parties alternately striking out one name of a potential arbitrator until only one name remains. The party entitled to strike an arbitrator first shall be selected by a toss of a coin. The parties agree that this agreement to arbitrate includes any such disputes that the Company may have against Executive, or Executive may have against the Company and/or its related entities and/or employees, arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or Executive’s employment or Executive’s termination, including any claims of discrimination or harassment in violation of applicable law and any other aspect of Executive’s compensation, employment, or Executive’s termination. The parties further agree that arbitration as provided for in this Section 16(g) is the exclusive and binding remedy for any such dispute and will be used instead of any court action, which is hereby expressly waived, except for any request by any party for temporary, preliminary or permanent injunctive relief pending arbitration in accordance with applicable law or for breaches by Executive of Executive’s obligations under Sections 11, 12, 14 or 15 hereof. The parties agree that the seat of the arbitration shall be Boston, Massachusetts. The Company shall pay the cost of any arbitration brought pursuant to this paragraph, excluding, however, the cost of representation of Executive, unless such cost is awarded in accordance with law or otherwise awarded by the arbitrators. Neither party nor an arbitrator may disclose the existence, content or results of any arbitration hereunder without the prior written consent of both parties, except (1) as provided by Section 10 and (2) as may be required by law.

• Informal Dispute Resolution Prior to the initiation of formal dispute resolution procedures, the Parties shall first attempt to resolve their Dispute informally, in a timely and cost-effective manner, as follows:

• Settlement and Arbitration of Disputes Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the breach thereof shall be settled exclusively by arbitration in accordance with the laws of the state of New York by three arbitrators, one of whom shall be appointed by the Company, one by the Executive and the third by the first two arbitrators. If the first two arbitrators cannot agree on the appointment of a third arbitrator, then the third arbitrator shall be appointed by the American Arbitration Association in the City of Albany. Such arbitration shall be conducted in the City of Boston in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association for commercial arbitrations, except with respect to the selection of arbitrators which shall be as provided in this Section 8(d). Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrators may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.

• Irrevocable Arbitration of Disputes (a) Employee and the Company agree that any dispute, controversy or claim arising hereunder or in any way related to this Release, its interpretation, enforceability, or applicability, or relating to Employee’s employment, or the termination thereof, that cannot be resolved by mutual agreement of the parties shall be submitted to binding arbitration. This includes, but is not limited to, alleged violations of federal, state and/or local statutes, claims based on any purported breach of duty arising in contract or tort, including breach of contract, breach of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing, violation of public policy, violation of any statutory, contractual or common law rights, but excluding workers’ compensation, unemployment matters, or any matter falling within the jurisdiction of the state Labor Commissioner. The parties agree that arbitration is the parties’ only recourse for such claims and hereby waive the right to pursue such claims in any other forum, unless otherwise provided by law. Any court action involving a dispute which is not subject to arbitration shall be stayed pending arbitration of arbitrable disputes.

• Alternative Dispute Resolution The parties will attempt to settle any claim for non-payment of charges or recovery of overpayment of charges for the Services (hereinafter a "Billing Dispute"), through good faith negotiations. The parties may agree to submit a Billing Dispute to non-binding mediation. At any time, the party seeking payment may submit a notice of arbitration of a Billing Dispute for arbitration under the United States Arbitration Act pursuant to the terms of this Section and the Non-Administered Arbitration Rules of the CPR Institute for Dispute Resolution ("CPR"), to the extent such rules do not conflict. The Arbitration will be held in New York, New York, or any other location selected by mutual agreement of the parties. The arbitrator shall not have the power to award any damages in excess of the limits set forth in or excluded under the limitations of liability provided in this Agreement. The arbitrator may not limit, expand or otherwise modify the terms of this Agreement. The arbitrator shall strictly limit discovery to the production of documents directly relevant to the facts alleged in the notices of arbitration and defense. If depositions are required, the arbitrator shall permit each Party to conduct an equal number of depositions (not to exceed five per side), with equal limits on the number of deposition hours for each Party (not to exceed 7 per deposition). If an evidentiary hearing is held, each Party's presentation of its case shall be limited to three (3) days. Requests for temporary injunctive relief may be submitted to a court of competent jurisdiction if the arbitrator has not yet been appointed, but the arbitrator shall have the authority to modify any injunctive relief granted by such a court. The arbitration award shall be made final within eight months of filing of the notice of arbitration and judgment upon the award may be entered in any court having competent jurisdiction. All participants and the arbitrator shall hold the existence, content and results of mediation and arbitration in confidence, except as necessary to enforce a final settlement agreement or to enforce an arbitration award. Each party shall bear its own expenses and equally share expenses related to the compensation of the arbitrator. The arbitrator's award shall be in writing and shall state the reasons for the award.
