An arbitration agreement or arbitral award arising out of a legal
relationship, whether contractual or not, which is considered as
commercial, including a transaction, contract, or agreement described in
section 2 of this title, falls under the Convention. An agreement or
award arising out of such a relationship which is entirely between

envisages performance or enforcement abroad, or has some other
reasonable relation with one or more foreign states. For the purpose of
this section a corporation is a citizen of the United States if it is
incorporated or has its principal place of business in the United
States.
