In such jurisdictions, the liability of the Linden Lab parties to you is limited to the lowest amount permitted by applicable law. 9.4 YOU AGREE TO INDEMNIFY LINDEN LAB FROM CLAIMS RELATING TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE. At Linden Lab's request, you agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Linden Lab, its officers, directors, shareholders, employees, subsidiaries, and agents from all damages, liabilities, claims and expenses, including without limitation attorneys' fees and costs, arising from: (i) your User Content; (ii) your acts, omissions, or use of the Service, including without limitation your negligent, willful or illegal conduct; (iii) your breach or alleged breach by you of this Agreement, including without limitation your representations and warranties relating to your Content; (iv) your violation or anticipatory violation of any applicable law, rule or order in connection with your use of or activities in the Service; (v) information or material transmitted through your Internet Device that infringes or misappropriates any Intellectual Property Right; (vi) any misrepresentation made by you; (vii) Linden Lab'suse of the information that you submit to us; (viii) your purported "ownership"of any Usage Subscriptions or virtual items; or (ix) the increase or decrease in "value"or loss of Usage Subscriptions or virtual items if Linden Lab deletes, terminates, or modifies them (all of the foregoing, "Claimsand Losses").

You will not settle any Claims and Losses without, in each instance, the prior, written consent of an officer of Linden Lab. 9.5 YOU ARE NOT OUR EMPLOYEE, AND YOU HAVE NO RIGHTS TO COMPENSATION. You acknowledge that your participation in the Service, including your creation or uploading of Content in the Service, does not make you a Linden Lab employee and that you do not expect to be, and will not be, compensated by Linden Lab for such activities, and you will make no claim inconsistent with these acknowledgements.

DISPUTE RESOLUTION AND ARBITRATION By agreeing to these Terms of Service, you also agree to arbitrate any and all claims against Linden Lab pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act and subject to the terms below (the "Agreementto Arbitrate").You and Linden Lab agree that we intend that this Section 10 satisfies the "writing"requirement of the Federal Arbitration Act and further agree that, notwithstanding any other provision of these Terms of Service, the Federal Arbitration Act shall govern the interpretation and enforcement of this Agreement to Arbitrate. 10.1 IF A DISPUTE ARISES BETWEEN YOU AND LINDEN LAB REGARDING A CLAIM, YOU AND WE AGREE TO ALTERNATIVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION. Our goal is to provide you with a neutral and cost-effective means of resolving the dispute quickly. If any controversy, allegation or claim arises out of or relates to the Service, the Website(s), the Content, your User Content, your Unsolicited Ideas and Materials, this Agreement, your decision to enter into this Agreement, orany Additional Terms (collectively, "Dispute"),then you and we agree to send a written notice to the other providing a reasonable description of the Dispute or ExcludedDispute, along with a proposed resolution of it. Our notice to you will be sent to you based on the most recent contact information that you provide us. However, if no such information exists or ifsuch information is not current, then we have no obligation under this section.Your notice to us must be sent to: Linden Research, Inc., 945 Battery Street, San Francisco, CA 94111, Attention: General Counsel. For a period of sixty (60) days from the date of receipt of notice from the other party, Linden Laband you will engage in a dialogue in order to attempt to resolve the Dispute or ExcludedDispute, though neither party is required to resolve such dispute on terms which each party, in its sole discretion, is uncomfortable. IF WE CANNOT RESOLVE A DISPUTE WITHIN SIXTY (60) DAYS OF RECEIPT OF SUCH NOTICE, THEN EITHER YOU OR WE MAY ELECT TO SUBMIT THE DISPUTE TO FORMAL ARBITRATION AS HEREINAFTER DESCRIBED. WITH ARBITRATION (A) THERE IS NO JUDGE OR JURY, (B) THE ARBITRATION PROCEEDINGS AND ARBITRATION OUTCOME ARE SUBJECT TO CERTAIN CONFIDENTIALITY RULES, AND (C) JUDICIAL REVIEW OF THE ARBITRATION OUTCOME IS LIMITED. Further, you and Linden Lab agree that, should resolution of the Dispute(s) occur in arbitration, such Dispute(s) will be arbitrated only on an individual basis and will not be consolidated with any other arbitration or other proceedings that involve any claim or controversy of any other party. But if, for any reason, any court with competent jurisdiction or any arbitrator selected pursuant to this arbitration provision holds that this restriction, limiting the arbitration to Dispute(s) between you and Linden Lab, is unenforceable, then our agreement above to arbitrate will not apply and the Dispute must be brought exclusively in court pursuant to Section 11.5 below.Should either you or Linden Lab elect to resolve the Dispute by way of binding arbitration, the arbitration shall proceed in accordance with the then-current Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"),except thatin no event shall the arbitration proceed as a class or representative action. If the Dispute has a claimed value of not more than $250,000,then the arbitration will be heard and determined by a single, neutral arbitrator who is a retired judge or a lawyer with not less than ten (10) years'experience as a practicing member of the bar in the substantive practice area related to the Dispute, who will administer the proceedings in accordance with the AAA'sSupplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes. If the Dispute has a claimed value of more than $250,000,then the arbitration will be heard and determined by a three (3) member panel, with one member to be selected by each party and the third (who will chair the panel) selected by the two (2) party-appointed members or by the AAA in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules. The arbitrator or arbitration panel, as the case may be, will apply applicable law and the provisions of this Agreement and any additionalTerms, will determine any Dispute according to applicable law and facts based upon the record and no other basis, and will issue a reasoned award. Ifa party properly submits the Dispute to the AAA for formal arbitration and the AAA is unwilling or unable to set a hearing date within sixty (60) days of the filing of a "demandfor arbitration,"then either party can elect to have the arbitration administered by the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services Inc. ("JAMS")using JAMS'streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures, or by any other arbitration administration service that you and a legal officer of Linden Lab consent to in writing, except, as noted above, that in no event shall the arbitration proceed as a class or representative action. The substantive practice area requirements for the arbitrator and the $250,000threshold for the number of arbitrators assigned to the Dispute set forth in the paragraph above will also apply to any such arbitration under JAMS or other arbitration service. You can obtain AAA and JAMS procedures, rules, and fee information as follows: AAA: 1.800.778.7879 or www.adr.org JAMS: 1.800.352.5267 or www.jamsadr.com Allparties to the arbitration will have the right, at their own expense, to be represented by an attorney or other advocate of their choosing. If an in-personarbitration hearing is required, then itwill be conductedin the "metropolitan statistical area" (as defined by the U.S. Census Bureau) where you area resident atthe timethe Dispute is submitted to arbitration.You and we will pay the administrative and arbitrator'sfees and other costs in accordance with the applicable arbitration rules (including any rules regarding hardship); but if applicable arbitration rules or laws require Linden Lab to pay a greater portion or all of such fees and costs in order for this arbitration provision to be enforceable, or if the arbitrator(s) determine that you would experience an extreme hardship by paying your share of arbitration fees and costs prior to resolution of the Dispute, then Linden Lab will have the right to elect to pay the fees and costs and proceed to arbitration. Discovery will be permitted pursuant to the applicable arbitration rules. The arbitrator'sdecision must consist of a written statement stating the disposition of each claim of the Dispute, and must provide a statement of the essential findings and conclusions on which the decision and award (if any) may be entered in or by any court that has jurisdiction over the parties pursuant to Section 9 of the Federal Arbitration Act. The arbitrator must honor the terms of this Agreement (and any Additional Terms) and can award the prevailing party damages and other relief (including attorneys'fees) consistent with applicable law.
