16. The Expert’s decision to opt out of this Mutual Arbitration Provision will relieve the Expert only of the Expert's obligation to arbitrate the disputes specified in this Mutual Arbitration Provision. Similarly, the Expert's decision to opt out of another arbitration provision contained in any other agreement shall not relieve the Expert's obligation to arbitrate disputes pursuant to this Mutual Arbitration Provision.
