of the conclusion of the arbitration hearing. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary provided in this Section 16.15 and without prejudice to the above
procedures, either party may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for
temporary injunctive or other provisional judicial relief if such action is
necessary to avoid irreparable damage or to preserve the status quo until such
time as the arbitration panel is convened and available to hear such party's
request for temporary relief. The award rendered by the arbitrator shall be
final and not subject to judicial review and judgment thereon may be entered in
any court of competent jurisdiction. Any monetary award will be made and payable
in U.S. dollars free of any tax or other deduction.
