14. ARBITRATION
Any arbitration provided for or agreed to by Shipper and GTN shall be
conducted in accordance with the following procedures and principles:
Upon the written demand of either GTN or Shipper and within ten (10) days
from the date of such demand, each entity shall appoint an arbitrator and
the two arbitrators so appointed shall promptly thereafter appoint a
third. If either GTN or Shipper shall fail to appoint an arbitrator
within ten (10) days from the date of such demand, then the arbitrator
shall be appointed by a Superior Court of the State of California in
accordance with the California Code of Civil Procedure. If the two
arbitrators shall fail within ten (10) days from their appointment to
agree upon and appoint the third arbitrator, then upon the application of
either GTN or Shipper such third arbitrator shall be appointed by a
Superior Court of the State of California in accordance with the
California Code of Civil Procedure.
The arbitrators shall proceed immediately to hear and determine the
matter in controversy. The award of the arbitrators, or a majority of
them, shall be made within forty-five (45) days after the appointment of
the third arbitrator, subject to any reasonable delay due to unforeseen
circumstances. The award of the arbitrators shall be drawn up in writing
and signed by the arbitrators, or a majority of them, and shall be final
and binding on both GTN and Shipper, and GTN and Shipper shall abide by
the award and perform the terms and conditions thereof. Unless otherwise
determined by the arbitrators, the fees and expenses of the arbitrator
named for each party shall be paid by that party and the fees and
expenses of the third arbitrator shall be paid in equal proportion by
both GTN and Shipper.
