Dispute Procedure (1) Unless otherwise provided in the Council's Constitution or in this Collective Agreement, any dispute within the registered scope of the Council shall be resolved as set out below:
(a) The General Secretary of the Council shall, after consultation with the Secretary of any relevant Regional Chamber, decide whether any dispute referred to the Council must be dealt with by the Council or the Regional Chamber.
(b) The Council shall, from time to time, adopt, by resolution, guidelines for the General Secretary of the Council to follow in the allocation of such disputes.
(c) When any dispute is allocated to a Regional Chamber in terms of this clause, then such Regional Chamber shall have the same rights, powers and obligations as the Council.
Arbitration Provision Any and all Arbitrable Disputes (except to the extent injunctive relief is sought) shall be resolved through the use of binding arbitration using, in the case of an Arbitrable Dispute involving a dispute of an amount equal to or greater than $1,000,000 or non-monetary relief, three arbitrators, and in the case of an Arbitrable Dispute involving a dispute of an amount less than $1,000,000, one arbitrator, in each case in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association, as supplemented to the extent necessary to determine any procedural appeal questions by the Federal Arbitration Act (Title 9 of the United States Code). If there is any inconsistency between this Article 26 and the Commercial Arbitration Rules or the Federal Arbitration Act, the terms of this Article 26 will control the rights and obligations of the Parties. Arbitration must be initiated within the time limits set forth in this Agreement, or if no such limits apply, then within a reasonable time or the time period allowed by the applicable statute of limitations. Arbitration may be initiated by a Party (“Claimant”) serving written notice on the other Party (“Respondent”) that Claimant elects to refer the Arbitrable Dispute to binding arbitration. Claimant’s notice initiating binding arbitration must identify the arbitrator Claimant has appointed. Respondent shall respond to Claimant within thirty (30) days after receipt of Claimant’s notice, identifying the arbitrator Respondent has appointed. If Respondent fails for any reason to name an arbitrator within the 30-day period, Claimant shall petition the American Arbitration Association for appointment of an arbitrator for Respondent’s account. The two arbitrators so chosen shall select a third arbitrator within thirty (30) days after the second arbitrator has been appointed, and, in the of an Arbitrable Dispute involving a dispute of an amount less than $1,000,000, such third arbitrator shall act as the sole arbitrator, and the sole role of the first two arbitrators shall be to appoint such third arbitrator. Claimant will pay the compensation and expenses of the arbitrator named by or for it, and Respondent will pay the compensation and expenses of the arbitrator named by or for it. The costs of petitioning for the appointment of an arbitrator, if any, shall be paid by Respondent. Claimant and Respondent will each pay one-half of the compensation and expenses of the third arbitrator. All arbitrators must (a) be neutral parties who have never been officers, directors or employees of the Operator, the Company or any of their Affiliates and (b) have not less than seven (7) years’ experience in the energy industry. The hearing will be conducted in the State of Delaware or the Philadelphia Metropolitan area and commence within thirty (30) days after the selection of the third arbitrator. The Company, the Operator and the arbitrators shall proceed diligently and in good faith in order that the award may be made as promptly as possible. Except as provided in the Federal Arbitration Act, the decision of the arbitrators will be binding on and non-appealable by the Parties hereto. The arbitrators shall have no right to grant or award Special Damages. Notwithstanding anything herein the contrary, the Company may not dispute any amounts with respect to an invoice delivered in accordance with Section 3.8 that the Company has not objected to within one hundred twenty (120) days of receipt thereof. No Event of Default shall occur if the subject matter underlying such potential Event of Default is the subject matter of any dispute that is pending resolution or arbitration under this Article 26 until such time that such dispute is resolved in accordance with this Article 26.
EXPENSE PROVISION Until this agreement shall be amended or terminated pursuant to Section 2 or Section 5 hereof, the Manager agrees, with respect to Class K6, to pay or provide for the payment of any fee or expense allocated at the class level and attributable to Class K6 and waive a portion of the management fee payable by such class, such that the ordinary operating expenses incurred by Class K6 in any fiscal year (excluding (i) taxes; (ii) the fees and expenses of all Trustees of the Trust who are not “interested persons” of the Trust or of the Adviser; (iii) interest expenses with respect to borrowings by the Fund; (iv) Rule 12b-1 fees, if any; (v) expenses of printing and mailing proxy materials to shareholders of the Fund; (vi) all other expenses incidental to holding meetings of the Fund’s shareholders, including proxy solicitations therefor; and (vii) such non-recurring and/or extraordinary expenses as may arise, including actions, suits or proceedings to which the Fund is or is threatened to be a party and the legal obligation that the Fund may have to indemnify the Trust’s Trustees and officers with respect thereto) as well as non-operating expenses such as brokerage commissions and fees and expenses associated with the Fund’s securities lending program, if applicable, will not exceed the annual rate set forth in Schedule A of the average daily net assets of the class (computed in the manner set forth in the Trust’s Trust Instrument) throughout the month. For avoidance of doubt, it is understood that this agreement shall not apply to any other class other than Class K6 of the Fund.
Arbitration Provisions 1. Within fifteen (15) duty days of its notice to the Superintendent, the Association shall request the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service (FMCS) to submit a panel of seven arbitrators who are qualified to hear public sector grievances or may jointly agree to set up a panel of arbitrators from which to make a choice. Upon receipt of the panel, the parties shall select, within twenty-one (21) calendar days, an arbitrator by the alternate striking method or other mutually agreeable method, and shall notify the FMCS of the arbitrator selected. The parties shall not be precluded from mutually agreeing on an arbitrator not on the panel.
2. If for some reason the arbitrator will be unable to serve or the parties mutually agree that no person on the panel is suitable, the parties shall jointly request the FMCS to submit a new panel of seven arbitrators from which an arbitrator will be selected in the same manner.
3. Arbitration hearings shall be scheduled within sixty (60) calendar days of selection unless the parties agree to extend the timeline or the arbitrator is unavailable within the timeline. All arbitration proceedings shall be conducted under and governed by the rules of the FMCS.
4. The parties agree to accept the arbitrator’s award as binding upon them.
5. The parties shall share equally the cost of arbitration.
6. Should either party request a stenographic transcript of the proceedings, then that party will bear the full costs for said transcript. If both parties mutually agree to a stenographic transcript, then the cost of said transcript will be divided equally between the parties.
7. The arbitrator’s decision shall be in writing and shall set forth his/her findings of fact, reasoning and conclusions on issues submitted.
I2 Dispute Resolution The Parties shall attempt in good faith to negotiate a settlement to any dispute between them arising out of or in connection with the Contract within twenty (20) Working Days of either Party notifying the other of the dispute and such efforts shall involve the escalation of the dispute to the finance director of the Contractor and the commercial director of the Authority.
Referral to Dispute Resolution If the Issuing Entity, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, a Noteholder or a Note Owner (the “Requesting Party”) requests that World Omni repurchase a Receivable due to an alleged breach of a representation and warranty in Section 3.01(a) (which repurchase request shall provide sufficient detail so as to allow World Omni to reasonably investigate the alleged breach of the representations and warranties in Section 3.01(a); provided that with respect to a repurchase request from a Noteholder or a Note Owner, such repurchase request shall initially be provided to the Indenture Trustee) (each, a “Repurchase Request”), and the Repurchase Request has not been resolved, the alleged breach has not otherwise been cured or the related Receivable has not otherwise been repurchased, paid-off or otherwise satisfied, within 180 days of the receipt of notice of the Repurchase Request by World Omni, the Requesting Party may refer the matter, in its discretion, to either mediation (including non-binding arbitration) or binding third-party arbitration by filing in accordance with ADR Rules and providing a notice to World Omni. The Requesting Party must start the mediation (including non-binding arbitration) or arbitration proceeding according to the ADR Rules of the ADR Organization within 90 days after the end of the 180-day period. World Omni agrees to participate in the dispute resolution method selected by the Requesting Party. However, if the Receivable subject to a Repurchase Request was part of a Review and the Review Report states no Test Fails for the Receivable, the Repurchase Request for the Receivable will be deemed to have been resolved.
