**SCHEDULE 3** **ARBITRATION** Any dispute between the Lessor and Lessee (collectively, the “Parties”) under this Agreement which is not resolved by mutual agreement shall be resolved solely by arbitration as follows: 1. Process. A Party may initiate the arbitration by written notice to the other Party stating that such controversy is subject to resolution in accordance with this Agreement. The site of the arbitration is to be Los Angeles, California. The rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) for commercial transactions are to apply, except as modified by this Agreement, and the AAA is not to supervise the arbitration or be paid fees. 2. Selection. The arbitration is to be conducted by one arbitrator. The arbitrator is to be a retired judge of the Los Angeles County, California, Superior Court selected by mutual agreement between the Party initiating the arbitration (the “Initiating Party”) and the other Party; provided that, if the Initiating Party and the other Party cannot mutually agree upon the arbitrator within a period of 10 days from the date the arbitration process is initiated, then the arbitrator is to be selected by the Presiding Judge of the Los Angeles County Superior Court. In this regard, the Initiating Party and the other Party are, on a timely basis, to submit to the Presiding Judge the names of three retired judges and the arbitrator is to be selected from such names.

agreement_9.md
3. Discovery. No interrogatories are to be permitted. Depositions are to be permitted, but no more than three for each party without a specific showing of necessity and approval by the arbitrator, and no single deposition is to extend for more than 7 hours during a one-day period without a specific showing of necessity and approval by the arbitrator.

The arbitrator is to establish reasonable time periods for each side in the dispute to provide a summary of the facts and statement of contentions, a list of witnesses appearing at the hearing and a list of exhibits to be presented at the hearing. 4. Final Award. The award of the arbitrator shall be rendered in writing and is to be final and binding upon the Parties, without appeal; provided that a Party may seek enforcement of the award by appropriate proceedings in a court of competent jurisdiction sitting in the State of California. 5. Rules. Notwithstanding the rules of the AAA, the arbitrator is to: 5.1 Procedural Rules. Establish the rules of procedure to be applicable to the arbitration proceedings (including discovery subject to the limitations set forth in this Schedule 3); however, no court reporter is to be permitted;
2222
agreement_9.md
5.2 Fees. Be entitled to require each of the Initiating Party and the other Party to deposit an equal amount to be set off against the expenses and fees of the arbitrator; and 5.3 Attorneys Fees. Include in the award the amount of the costs of arbitration and attorneys’ fees to be assessed against the party (i.e., the Initiating Party or the other Party) who has lost the arbitration. If each Party has partly lost and partly won, the arbitrator may divide the costs and fees between the two Parties in accordance with the arbitrator’s best judgment or have each Party absorb their own respective share of costs and their own personal attorneys’ fees. 5.4 Waiver. The resolution of all disputes between the Parties by this arbitration process constitutes a waiver by each to a trial by jury or judge of the dispute as well as any appeal of the decision of the arbitrator; provided, however, that any Party may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction in the State of California for equitable relief pending arbitration, without waiving arbitration of the dispute. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessor hereby irrevocably waives any right to seek or obtain rescission, equitable or injunctive relief related to Lessee’s or its related entities’ production, distribution, license or exploitation of any motion picture, television program, commercial or other content; and Lessor’s sole and exclusive remedy in connection therewith shall be an action for damages.
