13. INDEMNIFICATION
Shipper agrees to indemnify and hold harmless PG&E GT-NW, its officers,
agents, employees and contractors against any liability, loss or damage
whatsoever occurring in connection with or relating in any way to the
executed Transportation Service Agreement, including costs and
attorneys' fees, whether or not such liability, loss or damage results
from any demand, claim, action, cause of action, or suit brought by
Shipper or by any person, association or entity, public or private, that
is not a party to the executed Transportation Service Agreement, where
such liability, loss or damage is suffered by PG&E GT-NW, its officers,
agents, employees or contractors as a direct or indirect result of any
breach of the executed Transportation Service Agreement or sole or
concurrent negligence or gross negligence or other tortious act(s) or
comission(s) by Shipper, its officers, agents, employees or contractors.
14. ARBITRATION
Any arbitration provided for or agreed to by Shipper and PG&E GT-NW shall
be conducted in accordance with the following procedures and principles:
Upon the written demand of either PG&E GT-NW 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 PG&E GT-NW 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 PG&E GT-NW 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 PG&E GT-NW and Shipper, and PG&E GT-NW 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 PG&E GT-NW and Shipper.
