neutral arbitrator to be appointed by the two party-appointed arbitrators. The
neutral arbitrator shall be an attorney and shall act as chairman. Should (i)
either party fail to appoint an arbitrator within ten (10) days after the party
not requesting arbitration has received such written request, or (ii) the two
arbitrators appointed by or on behalf of the parties as contemplated in this
paragraph fail to appoint a neutral arbitrator within ten (10) days after the
date of the appointment of the last arbitrator appointed by the parties, then
any person sitting as a judge in any court of competent jurisdiction, upon
application of either party hereto, shall appoint an arbitrator to fill such
position with the same force and effect as though such arbitrator had been

arbitrators. The costs of arbitration (exclusive of the expenses of a party in
obtaining and presenting evidence and attending the arbitration, and of the fees
and expenses of legal counsel to such party, all of which shall be borne by such
party) shall be shared equally by the parties hereto. The arbitration award

party to exercise any right, remedy, power or privilege under this Agreement

any right, remedy, power or privilege preclude any other or further exercise of
the same or of any right, remedy, power or privilege, nor shall any waiver of
any right, remedy, power or privilege with respect to any occurrence be
construed as a waiver of such right, remedy, power or privilege with respect to
any other occurrence. No waiver shall be effective unless it is in writing and
is signed by the party asserted to have granted such waiver.
22. Provisions Severable. The provisions of this Agreement are independent of
and severable from each other, and no provision shall be affected or rendered
invalid or unenforceable by virtue of the fact that for any reason any other or
others of them may be invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part.

Agreement, all days shall be counted, including Saturdays, Sundays and holidays
