policies) ("Applicable Law"), nothing in this Games Agreement shall be construed so as to obligate the OCOG to utilize the City for the provision ofany given service in connection with the 2028 Games (other than the Normal and Customary Services), in each case of clauses (i) and (ii), for the further avoidance of doubt, without limiting Sections 7.1 and

The City acknowledges and agrees that the OCOG shall not be responsible for the City's purchase or rental of any capital assets (i.e., those assets other than people) that are needed to temporarily deliver Enhanced City Resources, unless the OCOG has provided prior written consent stating that the OCOG will be responsible.
7.5.4 Time-shifting of Public Services. The Parties acknowledge and agree that City public services that are time-shifted to support 2028 Games requirements but are not otherwise provided at levels above the Normal and Customary Services established pursuant to Section 7.1.1 (e.g., the timing of certain road repairs) will not be calculated as Enhanced City Resources.

Games Agreement Exhibit C
Dispute Resolution
I. Discussion Period
In the event any Dispute is not resolved in the ordinary course of business, the Parties agree that, before any Party initiates binding arbitration, the Parties shall first engage in a good faith attempt to resolve the Dispute through an informal dispute resolution process set forth in this Section I.
Any Party may provide written notice of the Dispute to the other Party describing in reasonable detail the nature of the Dispute (a "Dispute Notice"). Upon a Party's receipt of a Dispute Notice, each Party shall appoint a Representative who shall have the authority to settle the Dispute. The Parties, through their Representatives, will then initiate good faith discussions to attempt to resolve the Dispute within forty-five (45) days ofa Party's receipt of the Dispute Notice. In the event the Dispute cannot be resolved through good faith discussions within such forty-five (45) day period, or such further time period agreed to by the Parties, either or both Parties shall have the right to initiate binding arbitration in accordance with Section 2 below.
2. Agreement to Arbitrate
The Parties hereby agree that if they, or their respective indemnitees, successors, assigns or legal representatives, as applicable, are unable to resolve any Dispute pursuant to Section I above, then such Dispute shall be resolved by final, binding arbitration conducted before a single, neutral arbitrator with the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"). The arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the Agreement and the current rules of the AAA for Commercial Arbitration found at adr.org/Rules (the "AAA Rules"), which are incorporated herein by reference. The arbitration shall be conducted in English. If the amount at issue in any Dispute does not exceed $10,000, the arbitration shall be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted by the Parties to the arbitrator, unless either Party requests a hearing or the arbitrator determines a hearing is necessary. If the amount at issue in any Dispute exceeds $10,000, the Parties' respective rights to a hearing shall be resolved through the AAA Rules. Either Party shall have the right to undertake direct and reasonable discovery in accordance with the AAA Rules and consistent with the expedited nature of arbitration.
3. Seat of the Arbitration and Governing Law
The seat of the arbitration shall be Los Angeles, California, unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Parties. The arbitrator shall be selected pursuant to the mutual agreement of the Parties, provided, if the Parties are unable to agree on an arbitrator, the arbitrator shall be appointed in accordance with the AAA Rules. The arbitrator shall have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or any part of any claims or counterclaims. The arbitrator shall decide the issues submitted as arbitrator at law only and shall base any award, including any interim awards, upon the terms of this Agreement and the laws of the State of California.
4. Awards and Relief
Any judgment or award rendered by the arbitrator shall be final and binding and enforceable in any court of competent jurisdiction. All awards shall be in writing and shall state the reasoning upon which such award rests. The arbitrator is hereby expressly empowered to grant any remedy or relief not expressly prohibited by this Agreement and available under Applicable Law, including, but not limited to, specific performance and injunctive relief. In its award, the arbitrator may award C-1
reasonable attorneys' fees and costs to the prevailing Party in the arbitration and otherwise apportion the costs of the arbitration between or among the arbitrating Parties in such a manner as it deems reasonable, taking into account the circumstances of the case, the conduct of such Parties during the proceedings and the result of the arbitration. Unless otherwise ordered by the arbitrator, each Party to the arbitration shall bear its own costs and expenses of the arbitration, and the fees and expenses of the arbitrator and of any expert or other assistance engaged by the arbitrator shall be borne by the Parties to the arbitration equally.
5. Confidentiality
The arbitrator and the American Arbitration Association shall treat all dispute resolution proceedings provided for herein, all related disclosures, and all decisions of the arbitrator as confidential, except (i) in connection with any judicial proceedings ancillary to the dispute resolution proceedings (such as a judicial challenge to, or enforcement of, the arbitral award), (ii) if and to the extent otherwise required by applicable law to protect any legal right of either Party, or (iii) if and to the extent otherwise agreed by the Parties.
6. Survival
The terms of this Exhibit C shall survive any expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement.
