The arbitrators selected pursuant to this Section will establish the
rules for proceeding with the arbitration of the dispute and such rules will be
binding upon all parties to the arbitration proceeding. The arbitrators may

arbitration but are encouraged to adopt such rules as the arbitrators deem
appropriate to accomplish the arbitration in the quickest and least expensive
manner possible. Accordingly, the arbitrators may (i) dispense with any formal
rules of evidence and allow hearsay testimony so as to limit the number of
witnesses required, (ii) minimize discovery procedures as the arbitrator deems
appropriate, (iii) act upon their understanding or interpretation of the law on
any issue without the obligation to research such issue or accept or act upon
briefs of the issue prepared by any party, (iv) limit the time for presentation
of any party's position as well as the amount of information or number of
witnesses to be presented in connection with any hearing, and (v) impose any
other rules which the arbitrators believe appropriate to effect a resolution of
the dispute as quickly and inexpensively as possible. The arbitrators shall
use their best efforts to render a decision within sixty (60) days following
their appointment. The majority decision of three arbitrators shall be final.
The arbitrators will have the exclusive authority to determine and award costs
of arbitration and the costs incurred by any party for their attorneys,
advisors and consultants. Any award made by the arbitrator shall be binding on
all parties to the arbitration and shall be enforceable to the fullest extent
of the law.
