It is agreed that the **arbitrator** shall have no jurisdiction or authority to award treble, exemplary, or punitive damages of any type under any circumstances whether or not such damages may be available under any applicable law, and each of the parties hereby waives its rights, if any, to recover any such damages. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the parties shall maintain in confidence the fact that an arbitration has been commenced, all documents and information exchanged during the course of the arbitration proceeding, and the arbitrator's award; provided, however, each of the parties shall be entitled to disclose such matters to its own officers, directors, and employees, its professional advisors, and other representatives as necessary for the purposes of conducting the arbitration and may make such disclosures in the course of legal proceedings as may be required to pursue any legal right arising out of or in connection with the arbitration.
