DISPUTE RESOLUTION

     Section 5.01.  Negotiation.

     (a)  Disputes.  The parties shall attempt to promptly resolve any
disputes between them arising out of or in connection with the execution,
interpretation and performance of this Agreement (a "Dispute") by
negotiation between the employees of each party responsible for
implementing this Agreement.  Any party may provide another party with a
Dispute Notice, which will set forth the nature of the dispute and the
identity of representatives of the complaining party who will attend
settlement meetings. After the receipt of a Dispute Notice, the
representatives of the affected parties shall meet as soon as practicable
at mutually acceptable times and places.

     (b)  Referral to Dispute Resolution Officers.  If a Dispute has not
been resolved within thirty (30) days of the receipt of written notice, the
Dispute shall be referred to the senior executive officer of the parties,
or their designees, for resolution.  If they do not resolve the Dispute
within forty-five (45) days, either Party may refer the Dispute to
arbitration pursuant to Section 5.02.

     (c)  Confidentiality of Negotiations. All negotiations pursuant to
this Section 5.01 shall be confidential and shall be treated as compromise
and settlement negotiations.  Nothing said or disclosed, nor any document
produced, in the course of such negotiations which is not otherwise
independently discoverable, shall be offered or received as evidence or
used for impeachment or for any other purpose in any current or future
arbitration or litigation.

     Section 5.02   Arbitration.

     (a)  If either party refers the Dispute to arbitration, the Dispute
shall be finally settled by binding arbitration in accordance with the
commercial arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association
("AAA") then in effect.  However, in all events, the arbitration provisions
in this Section shall govern over any conflicting rules that may now or
hereafter be contained in the AAA rules.  The arbitration shall be held in
New York, New York, unless the Parties mutually agree to have the
arbitration held elsewhere, and judgment upon any award made therein may be
entered by any court having jurisdiction over the award, over the
applicable Parties, or their respective assets; provided, however, that
nothing contained in this Section shall be construed to limit or preclude a
party from bringing any action in any court of competent jurisdiction for
injunctive or other provisional relief.  The arbitrators shall have the
authority to grant any equitable and legal remedies that would be available
in any judicial proceeding instituted to resolve any Dispute hereunder.

     (b)  Arbitrators. Any arbitration will be conducted before three (3)
arbitrators, one of whom shall be chosen by the complaining party, one of
whom shall be chosen by the other party, and the third of whom shall be
chosen by the other two arbitrators.  The Parties may obtain lists of
potential arbitrators from their choice of the AAA, JAMS, or both, who
shall be a neutral and impartial party who has had training and experience
as an arbitrator. The decision of a majority of the arbitrators will be the
decision of the arbitrators.  The arbitrators shall permit such discovery
of information related to the Dispute in arbitration as they shall
determine is appropriate in the circumstances, taking into account the
needs of the parties and the desirability of making discovery expeditious
and cost-effective.

     (c)  Costs and Fees. All fees and expenses of the arbitrators,
expenses for hearing facilities and other expenses of the arbitration shall
be borne equally by the parties to the Dispute unless the arbitrators in
the award assess such fees and expenses in some other manner.  Each party
shall bear the fees and expenses of its own attorneys and witnesses except
to the extent otherwise provided in this Agreement or by law; provided,
that if the arbitrators determine that the claim or defense of any party
was frivolous or lacked a reasonable basis in fact or law, the arbitrators
may assess against such party all or part of the fees and expenses of
attorneys and witnesses for any other party.

     (d)  Burden of Proof.  For any Dispute submitted to arbitration, the
burden of proof will be the same as if the claim were litigated in a
judicial proceeding.

     (e)  Award.  Upon the conclusion of any arbitration proceedings
hereunder, the arbitrators will render findings of fact and conclusions of
law and a written opinion setting forth the basis and reasons for any
decision reached and will deliver such documents to each party to this
Agreement along with a signed copy of the award.

     (f)  Agreement Controls. The arbitrators chosen in accordance with
these provisions will not have the power to alter, amend or otherwise
affect the terms of these arbitration provisions or the provisions of this
Agreement.
