Binding Arbitration If the mediation reaches no solution or the parties agree to forego mediation, the parties will promptly submit their disputes to binding arbitration before one or more arbitrators (collectively or singly, the "ARBITRATOR") the parties agree to select (or whom, absent agreement, a court of competent jurisdiction selects). The arbitration must follow applicable law related to arbitration proceedings and, where appropriate, the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association. ARBITRATION PRINCIPLES All statutes of limitations and substantive laws applicable to a court proceeding will apply to this proceeding. The Arbitrator will have the power to grant relief in equity as well as at law, to issue subpoenas duces tecum, to question witnesses, to consider affidavits (provided there is a fair opportunity to rebut the affidavits), to require briefs and written summaries of the material evidence, and to relax the rules of evidence and procedure, provided that the Arbitrator must not admit evidence it does not consider reliable. The Arbitrator will not have the authority to add to, detract from, or modify any provision of this Agreement. The parties agree (and the Arbitrator must agree) that all proceedings and decisions of the Arbitrator will be maintained in confidence, to the extent legally permissible, and not be made public by any party or the Arbitrator without the prior written consent of all parties to the arbitration, except as the law may otherwise require. DISCOVERY; EVIDENCE; PRESUMPTIONS The parties have selected arbitration to expedite the resolution of disputes and to reduce the costs and burdens associated with litigation. The parties agree that the Arbitrator should take these concerns into account when determining whether to authorize discovery and, if so, the scope of permissible discovery and other hearing and pre-hearing procedures. The Arbitrator may permit reasonable discovery rights in preparation for the arbitration, provided that it should accelerate the scheduling of and responses to such discovery so as not to unreasonably delay the arbitration. Exhibits must be marked and left with the Arbitrator until it has rendered a decision. Either party may elect, at its expense, to record the proceedings by audiotape or stenographic recorder (but not by video). The Arbitrator may conclude that the applicable law of any foreign jurisdiction would be identical to that of Texas on the pertinent issue(s), absent a party's providing the Arbitrator with relevant authorities (and copying the opposing party) at least five business days before the arbitration hearing. NATURE OF AWARD The Arbitrator must render its award, to the extent feasible, within 30 days after the close of the hearing. The award must set forth the material findings of fact and legal conclusions supporting the award. The parties agree that it will be final, binding, and enforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction. Where necessary or appropriate to effectuate relief, the Arbitrator may issue equitable orders as part of or ancillary to the award. The Arbitrator must equitably allocate the costs and fees of the proceeding and may consider in doing so the relative fault of the parties. The Arbitrator may award reasonable attorneys' fees to the prevailing party to the extent a court could have made such an award.
