Thereafter, any unresolved Dispute shall be settled by binding arbitration administered by the AAA in accordance with its Commercial Arbitration Rules and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator, after the review rights set forth below have been exhausted, may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. Any arbitration proceeding shall be conducted in St. Louis, Missouri on an expedited basis before a neutral arbitrator (or multiple arbitrators if called for by the Commercial Arbitration Rules), Each arbitrator shall be selected in the manner determined by the AAA. Upon the request of either party, the arbitrator’s award shall include findings of fact and conclusions of law provided that such findings may be in summary form. Either party may seek review of the arbitrator’s award before an arbitrations review panel comprised of three arbitrators qualified in the same manner as the initial arbitrator(s) (as set forth above) by submitting a written request to the AAA. The right of review shall be deemed waived unless requested in writing within ten (10) days of the receipt of the initial arbitrator’s award. The arbitration review panel shall be entitled to review all findings of fact and conclusions of law in whatever manner it deems appropriate and may modify the award of the initial arbitrator(s) in its discretion. The prevailing party in any arbitration proceeding shall be entitled to an award of all reasonable out of pocket costs and expenses (including attorneys’ and arbitrators tees) related to the entire arbitration proceeding (including review if applicable). Upon request of either party, the arbitrator(s) may require that the subject arbitration proceedings be kept confidential and no party shall disclose or permit the disclosure of any information produced or disclosed in the arbitration proceedings until the award is final. A party shall not be prevented from seeking temporary injunctive relief before a court of competent jurisdiction in an emergency situation, but responsibility for resolution of the Dispute shall be appropriately transferred to the arbitrator(s) upon appointment in accordance with the provisions hereof.
