claim or dispute shall be submitted to
arbitration by one arbitrator mutually agreed upon by the parties from the list of then current
arbitrators listed by the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”), and if no agreement can be
reached within thirty (30) days then by a panel of three arbitrators where each party will select
one arbitrator and then the two selected arbitrators will then appoint a third arbitrator. The
arbitration shall take place in the borough of Manhattan, New York, in accordance with the AAA rules
then in effect, and judgment upon any award rendered in such arbitration will be binding and may be
entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. There shall be limited discovery prior to the
arbitration hearing as follows: (a) exchange of witness lists and copies of documentary evidence and
documents relating to or arising out of the issues to be arbitrated, (b) depositions of all party
witnesses, and (c) such other depositions as may be allowed by the arbitrator or arbitrators upon a
showing of good cause. Depositions shall be conducted in accordance with the New York Code of Civil
Practice and Rules, the arbitrator or arbitrators shall be required to provide in writing to the
parties the basis for the award or order of such arbitrators, and a court reporter shall record all
hearings, with such record constituting the official transcript of such proceedings. The prevailing
party, as determined by the arbitrator or arbitrators, shall be entitled to recover its reasonable
costs, including the arbitration fees, and reasonable attorney’s fees from the non-prevailing party;
provided, however, that if the arbitrator or arbitrators determine that both parties were at fault,
the arbitrator or arbitrators shall apportion responsibility for such reasonable costs and expenses
between the parties based on each party’s comparative responsibility as determined by the arbitrator
or arbitrators. The parties shall keep confidential all information relating to the arbitration,
including without limitation, the existence of arbitration proceedings (or the possibility thereof),
the proceedings themselves, all statements given or made during the course of the proceedings, all
documents and other information submitted by parties in connection with the proceedings, all
documents and other information issued by the arbitrator and/or arbitrators and/or the AAA and the
arbitral award. Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit the parties’ rights to seek interim
injunctive relieve from any court to prevent or curtail any breach of this Terms of Service.
