Commercial Arbitration Rules of the AAA, except as expressly
provided in this Section 10.13. However, the arbitration will
be administered by an organization mutually agreed to in
writing by the Parties. If the Parties are unable to agree upon

having knowledge of facts relevant to the Dispute and a brief
description of that person's knowledge, (ii) any experts who
may be called as an expert witness, the subject matter about
which the expert is expected to testify, the mental impressions
and opinions held by the expert and the facts known by the
expert (regardless of when the factual information was
acquired) which relate to or form the basis for the mental
impressions and opinions held by the expert and (iii) any
experts who have been used for consultation, but who are not
expected to be called as an expert witness, if such consulting
expert's opinions or impressions have been reviewed by an
expert witness. All discovery will be guided by the Federal
Rules of Civil Procedure. All issues concerning discovery upon
which the Parties cannot agree will be submitted to the
arbitrator for determination.
10.13.5. Authority of Arbitrator. In rendering an award, the arbitrator

ruling, finding or award that does not conform to the terms and
conditions of this Agreement, except in the case of gross
negligence or willful misconduct.

will use commercially reasonable efforts to join (and will
allow the other Party to join) any Third Party that the Parties
have agreed is indispensable to the arbitration. If any such
Third Party does not agree to be joined, the arbitration will

including one-half of the fees and expenses of the arbitrator.
13
14
10.14. Exclusive Remedy. Other than those matters involving injunctive or other
extraordinary relief or any action necessary to enforce the award of the
arbitrator, the Parties agree that the provisions of this Article 10 are
a complete defense to any suit, action or other proceeding instituted in
any court or before any administrative tribunal with respect to any
Dispute or the provision of the Services by Vendor. Nothing in this
Article 10 prevents the Parties from exercising their rights to
terminate this Agreement in accordance with Article 8.
10.15. Jurisdiction. All disputes arising out of or relating to this Agreement
shall be submitted to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the state and

co-locate the web services to another area in 2000 are currently underway.
Xxxxx.xxx uses virtual servers to present a single address for a group of real
servers and load-balance service requests between real servers in a site. Real
servers are actual host machines with unique IP addresses that provide TCP/IP
and WWW services to the network. This physical network design facilitates the
expansion of the network for future growth. Systems may be added to help manage
resources where required.
