In the event the aggregate damages sought by the claimant are stated to be less than $5 million, and the aggregate damages sought by the counterclaimant are stated to be

- 24 -

less than $5 million, and neither side seeks equitable relief, then a single arbitrator shall be chosen, having the same qualifications and experience specified above.

(iii) The parties agree to cooperate: (1) to obtain selection of the arbitrator(s) within 30 days of initiation of the arbitration, (2) to meet with the arbitrator(s) within 30 days of selection and (3) to agree at that meeting or before upon procedures for discovery and as to the conduct of the hearing which will result in the hearing being concluded within no more than 9 months after selection of the arbitrator(s) and in the award being rendered within 60 days of the conclusion of the hearings, or of any post-hearing briefing, which briefing will be completed by both sides within 20 days after the conclusion of the hearings In the event no such agreement is reached, the CPR will select arbitrator(s), allowing appropriate strikes for reasons of conflict or other cause and three peremptory challenges for each side.
