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

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 proposal 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 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.

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

the User of this OnBase Software ("Software"). Unless the Software is/was

bound by the terms of this XXXX. If User does not agree to be bound by the terms
of this XXXX User should exit the program and discontinue the use of the
Software.
1. LICENSE: Upon payment of the Software license fees, Hyland grants to User

for its business); and d) not to reverse engineer the Software. Use of
Software or Hardware that reduces the number of Clients directly accessing

User fails to notify Hyland of any defect in the Software within fourteen
(14) days following installation, it will deemed as User's acceptance of

Hyland or its authorized agent will use reasonable efforts to correct the
defect. User may reset the Software to confirm that the defect has been
corrected. If the defect has not been corrected after re-testing. User has
the option to either (1) permit Hyland or its authorized agent to make
further corrections, reserving the rights to terminate this XXXX, or (2)

the Software with a copy of User's receipt and all agreements, Hyland will
at its discretion either (a) replace the defective media and/or
documentation; or (b) refund the license fee.
