by making demand for Arbitration upon the other party, specifying in such
demand the nature of the dispute. The Arbitration shall be held in Los
Angeles County, State of California in accordance with the Commercial

they do not conflict with the following provisions which shall supersede: the
parties agree to submit the dispute to one arbitrator before the American
Arbitration Association ("AAA") in Los Angeles County, California, and to use
their best efforts to obtain an expeditious resolution. The decision of the
AAA shall be final and binding and
18
may be enforced by judgment upon application to a court of competent
jurisdiction. Notwithstanding any rule of the AAA to the contrary,
California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1283.05 shall dictate the rights
of both parties to conduct discovery. The parties also agree that a
restraining order maintaining the status quo and/or a writ of attachment may
be obtained by any party pending the resolution of the dispute from the AAA.
If, for any reason AAA refuses to hear and decide the question of imposition
of a restraining order and/or a writ of attachment as herein contemplated, a
party then may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for the issuance of
such an order. The arbitration shall then proceed in regards to all other
issues and matters. The award must be based on, and accompanied by, a
written statement of decision explaining the factual and legal basis for the
award as to each of the principal controverted issues at the hearing. The
award shall be confirmed and entered as a judgment by the Superior Court of
this state. The award may be appealed under the same standards specified in
