There shall be no transcript of the hearing. The final hearing shall be conducted within 120 days of the selection of the third arbitrator. The final hearing shall not exceed 10 Business Days, with each Party to be granted one-half of the allocated time to present its case to the arbitrators. All proceedings conducted hereunder and the decision of the arbitrators shall be kept confidential by the Parties.
Arbitration Procedures. Arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the Uniform Arbitration Act, except to the extent the provisions of such Act are modified by this Agreement or the subsequent mutual agreement of the parties. Judgment upon the award rendered by the Arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.

The arbitration shall be governed by the applicable Code, except that (to the extent enforceable under the FAA) this Arbitration Section shall control if it is inconsistent with the applicable Code.

In conducting the arbitration proceeding, the arbitrator shall not apply the Federal or any state rules of civil procedure or rules of evidence.

The arbitrator’s decision will be final and binding, except for any right of appeal provided by the FAA. However, any party can appeal that award to a three-arbitrator panel administered by the same arbitration organization, which shall consider anew any aspect of the initial award objected to by the appealing party. The appealing party shall have thirty (30) days from the date of entry of the written arbitration award to notify the arbitration organization that it is exercising the right of appeal. The appeal shall be filed with the arbitration organization in the form of a dated writing. The arbitration organization will then notify the other party that the award has been appealed. The arbitration organization will appoint a three-arbitrator panel which will conduct arbitration pursuant to its Code and issue its decision within one hundred twenty (120) days of the date of the appellant’s written notice. The decision of the panel shall be by majority vote and shall be final and binding.

Within 20 business days following receipt of the Complaint, the Exchange shall deliver to Member and the arbitrator a response (an “Answer”) to the Complaint concisely setting forth its position and the facts and law upon which it relies supporting the Decision. If the Exchange fails to deliver an Answer within such 20-business day period, the Exchange shall be deemed to have admitted the allegations of fact alleged in the Complaint and have accepted Member’s entitlement to the relief and remedy set out in the Complaint. Within 10 business days after receipt of the Answer, Member may deliver to the Exchange and the arbitrator a reply to the Answer concisely setting forth its response, if any, to the Answer. Within 10 business days after the later of: (i) delivery of the Answer by the Exchange; and (ii) delivery of any reply to the Answer by Member, in either case, Member or the Exchange may, upon notice to the other party and the arbitrator, request the arbitrator to give directions and make any order which is, in the discretion of the arbitrator, reasonable regarding any procedural matters which properly should be resolved before the arbitrator proceeds further, including, without limitation, the amendment of any pleadings, the production of documents and the need for examinations for discovery, either by way of oral examination or written interrogatories, and a determination as to the manner in which evidence shall be presented to the arbitrator. In making any order or giving any direction in respect of any procedural matter, the arbitrator may impose such terms as are reasonable in order to ensure the completion of the arbitration in a timely manner. If neither the Exchange nor Member requests directions as provided above, within an additional 10 business days, the arbitrator shall give directions regarding the further procedural steps in the arbitration, including any production of documents, any examinations for discovery, and the time and place of the first hearing.
