Each disclosure statement shall be made in writing, under oath, signed by the party making the disclosure, and delivered to the other party. All disclosure statements shall be exchanged, and all discovery completed, at least 15days prior to the arbitration hearing. Before my arbitration takes place, the parties agree that upon the request of either party, they will have the arbitrators conduct a "preliminary" hearing (i.e., a separate proceeding prior to the actual arbitration), at which evidence and testimony may be presented and legal briefs may be submitted, including briefs setting forth the applicable statutory or common law methods of measuring damages pertaining to the Dispute. The arbitrators may grant summary judgment if they determine no issue of fact exists as to a claim.

All statutes of limitation applicable to any Dispute shall apply to any proceeding in accordance with this Arbitration Addendum. Except as provided below, the decision of the arbitrators shall be final and binding upon all parties.
