(a) Resolution by Mutual Agreement. Except for actions instituted by
either party seeking injunctive relief, any issue or dispute between the parties
arising out of or related to this Agreement or its alleged breach shall first be
referred to the Chairman of Xxxxxx Software and the President of Recall, for
resolution between them, if possible. Xxxxxx Software and Recall may, if they
desire, consult outside experts or a mutually respected disinterested person for
assistance in arriving at a resolution.
(b) Resolution by Mediation. Xxxxxx Software and Recall also may, if
they desire, agree to undertake non-binding mediation and may, if they choose,
do so in accordance with the commercial mediation rules of the American
Arbitration Association ("AAA"), either as written or as modified by mutual
agreement. A written agreement to undertake mediation may be made at any time.
If arbitration proceedings have been instituted, they shall be stayed until the
mediation process is terminated.
(c) Resolution by Non Binding Arbitration. The parties to this
Agreement acknowledge that the subject matter hereof involves substantial
interstate activity. Any issue, controversy or claim arising out of or relating
to this Agreement or its alleged breach that cannot be resolved by mutual
agreement after a period of thirty (30) days from when the issue, controversy or
claim was first referred for mutual agreement under paragraph (a) shall be
referred by the parties to non-binding arbitration in Cleveland, Ohio, in
accordance with the commercial arbitration rules of the AAA, and judgment on any
award rendered by the arbitrator and accepted by the parties may be entered by
any court having jurisdiction thereof; provided, however, that the parties shall
have the right to agree among themselves on the amount of the claim.
(d) Selection of Arbitrator.
(1) The arbitrator shall be selected by mutual
agreement of the parties, if possible. If the
parties fail to reach agreement upon appointment
of an arbitrator within thirty (30) days following
receipt by one party of the other party's notice
of arbitration, the arbitrator shall be selected
from a list or lists of proposed arbitrators
submitted by the AAA. The selection process shall
be that which is set forth in the AAA commercial
arbitration rules then prevailing, except that (A)
the number of preemptory strikes shall not be
limited and (B) if the parties fail to select an
arbitrator from one or more lists, the AAA shall
not have the power to make an appointment but
shall continue to submit additional lists until an
arbitrator has been selected. Initially, however,
promptly following its receipt of a request to
submit a list of proposed arbitrators, the AAA
shall convene the parties in person or by
telephone and attempt to facilitate their
selection of an arbitrator by agreement. If the
arbitrator should die, withdraw or otherwise
become incapable of serving, a replacement shall
be selected and appointed in a like manner.
(2) If an arbitrator has not been selected following
submission of three or more lists by the AAA,
either party may declare the existence of an
impasse by giving written notice to the other. In
that event, the arbitrator shall be selected in
the following manner. Each party shall designate
three proposed arbitrators whose names appear on
any of the
Copyright(C)Xxxxxx Software, Inc. (Confidential) 10
Confidential Treatment Requested
lists previously submitted by the AAA. The parties
shall then eliminate five of the designated names
by alternately striking one, and the person whose
name remains shall serve as arbitrator. If
necessary, the party to make the first strike
shall be designated by lot.
(e) Confidentiality of Arbitration. All aspects of the arbitration
shall be confidential, and the parties and the arbitrator shall not disclose to
others, or permit disclosure of, any information related to the proceedings,
including but not limited to discovery, testimony and other evidence, briefs and
the award.
(f) Orders Protecting Confidentiality. Upon the motion of either
party, and for good cause shown, the arbitrator may make any order which justice
requires to protect a party from the disclosure of proprietary, privileged or
confidential business information, including orders (1) that depositions or
hearings be conducted with no one present except persons designated by the
arbitrator, and (2) that depositions, exhibits, other documents filed with the
arbitrator or transcripts of the hearing be sealed and not disclosed except as
specified by the arbitrator.
(g) Expenses of Arbitrator. Each party shall pay the fees and
expenses of such party's witnesses and all other expenses connected with the
presentation of such party's case. The cost of the arbitration, including the
fees of the arbitrator and the cost of the record or transcripts thereof, if
any, administrative fees, and all other fees and costs, shall be borne equally
by the parties.
(h) Understandings of the Parties. THIS NON-BINDING ARBITRATION

upon Independent third party, at Xxxxxx'x expense, to evaluate ASP's pricing and
