2.

Each of NEC and JAZZ shall be entitled to designate at least one (1) member of the Transaction Management Committee.

Each of NEC and JAZZ may, at its expense, conduct an audit of the HHNEC from time to time to confirm that HHNEC is in compliance with any applicable import/export control laws and regulations and such HHNEC's policy.
