On or prior to the date which is sixty days before the end of each Fiscal Year, commencing with the Fiscal Year ending December 31, 2009, the Management Committee shall review, and, if acceptable, approve, a Budget, Business Plan and Net Cash Flow Forecast for the following Fiscal Year, in each case to be prepared by the Railroad Operator.

If the Management Committee does not approve a Budget, Business Plan or Net Cash Flow Forecast for any Fiscal Year prior to the commencement of such year, then the Budget, Business Plan or Net Cash Flow Forecast for that Fiscal Year shall be the Budget, Business Plan or Net Cash Flow Forecast, as the case may be, from the prior Fiscal Year (excluding the prior Fiscal Year's extraordinary and nonrecurring items, but including any contractually obligated or legally required commitments or expenditures for the current year), as the case may be, adjusted, in the case of the Budget based on the "AAR Railroad Cost Indexes - Table A - Annual indexes of charge-out prices and wage rates (1977 = 100) - East - Materials prices, wage rates and supplements combined (excluding fuel)," together with any adjustment of contractual commitments in accordance with their terms (a "Rollover Budget"). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the Budget (including any Rollover Budget), Business Plan and Net Cash Flow Forecast for any Fiscal Year shall take into account the capital expenditures for such Fiscal Year set forth in Schedule 2.5 to the Transaction Agreement and any reserves the Management Committee deems to be reasonably necessary to conduct the business of the Company as reflected in the Budget and Business Plan.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Person and may indemnify any other Person subject to approval and designation of such person for such indemnification by approval of the Management Committee against all claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses of whatever nature (including reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements) ("Claims") relating to activities undertaken in connection with the Company in their capacity as such, including, but not limited to, amounts paid in satisfaction of judgments, in compromise or as fines and penalties, and counsel fees and expenses reasonably incurred in connection with the investigation, defense or disposition of any action, suit or other proceeding, whether civil or criminal, before any court or administrative body in which such Indemnified Person may be or may have been involved as a party or otherwise, or with which such Indemnified Person may be or may have been threatened, while acting as such Indemnified Person; provided that no indemnity shall be payable hereunder against any liability incurred by such Indemnified Person by reason of gross negligence, fraud, a willful violation of the law or a breach of this Agreement or the fiduciary duties set forth in Section 5.10(a).

(b) Advance of Expenses. Expenses incurred by an Indemnified Person in defense or settlement of any Claim that may be subject to a right of indemnification hereunder may be advanced (and must be advanced to Members, the Committee Representatives and Officers, if any, of the Company) by the Company prior to the final disposition thereof upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the Indemnified Person to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that the Indemnified Person is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company.

(c) Non-Exclusivity. The right of any Indemnified Person to the indemnification provided herein shall be cumulative of and in addition to any and all rights to which such Indemnified Person may otherwise be entitled by contract or as a matter of law or equity and shall extend to such Indemnified Person's successors, assigns and legal representatives.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 5.10 shall eliminate any implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing between any Member and the Company or the other Members. With regard to matters set forth in Section 5.12(b), the Members shall require their respective Committee Representatives to act in the best interests of the Company.

Tax information needed by each Member for financial reporting purposes shall be delivered to each Member within three (3) days after the end of each Fiscal Quarter.

(d) Tax Audits.

(i) At all times prior to a Pan Am Change in Control, the Pan Member shall be the "tax matters partner," as that term is defined in Section 6231(a)(7) of the Code (the "Tax Matters Partner"); at all times upon and after a Pan Am Change in Control, the NS Member shall be the Tax Matters Partner. The Tax Matters Partner is hereby directed and authorized to take whatever steps the Tax Matters Partner, in its sole discretion, deems necessary or desirable to perfect such designation, including, without limitation, filing any forms or documents with the IRS and taking such other action as from time to time is required under the Regulations.

(ii) The Tax Matters Partner, in consultation with the other Member, shall direct the defense of any claims made by the IRS (or by any other taxing authority) to the extent that such claims relate to the adjustment of Company items at the Company level and, in connection therewith, shall cause the Company to retain and to pay the fees and expenses of counsel and other advisors chosen by the Tax Matters Partner with the consent of the other Member.

The Tax Matters Partner will provide the other Member with notice reasonably in advance of any meetings or conferences with respect to any administrative or judicial proceedings relating to the determination of Company items at the Company level (including any meetings or conferences with counsel or advisors to the Company with respect to such proceedings), and the other Member shall have the right to participate, at its sole cost and expense, in any such meetings or conferences.

Any "Permitted Transfer" described in clauses (a) through (e) shall not constitute a Pan Am Change in Control and shall not effect a modification of the rights or obligations of the Members. Any "Permitted Transfer" described in clauses (f) or (g) (even if such transfer also is described in clause (a)) shall constitute a Pan Am Change in Control and shall effect a modification of the rights or obligations of the Members as further set forth herein.

9.3 Conditions to Permitted Transfers. A Transfer of a Membership Interest shall not be treated as a Permitted Transfer under Section 9.2 unless and until the following conditions are satisfied:

(a) Except in the case of a Transfer involuntarily by operation of law, the transferor and transferee shall execute and deliver to the Company such documents and instruments of conveyance as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate in the opinion of counsel to the Company to effect such Transfer. In the case of a Transfer of a Membership Interest involuntarily by operation of law, the Transfer shall be confirmed by presentation to the Company of legal evidence of such Transfer, in form and substance satisfactory to counsel to the Company. In all cases, the transferor and/or transferee shall reimburse the Company for all costs and expenses that the Company reasonably incurs in connection with such Transfer.

(b) The transferor and transferee shall furnish the Company with the transferee's taxpayer identification number and any other information reasonably necessary to permit the Company to file all required federal and state tax returns and other legally required information, statements or returns. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to make any distribution otherwise provided for in this Agreement with respect to any transferred Membership Interest until it has received such information.

(c) Except in the case of a Transfer of a Membership Interest involuntarily by operation of law, either (i) such Membership Interest shall be registered under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws or (ii) the transferor shall provide (unless waived by the Management Committee) an opinion of counsel which opinion and counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Management Committee to the effect that such Transfer is exempt from all applicable registration requirements and that such Transfer will not violate any applicable laws regulating the Transfer of securities.

(d) Prior to any such Transfer, the Transferee shall deliver to each Member a written commitment from such Transferee to be bound by this Agreement and to comply with the applicable provisions of Section 9.6.

(e) Prior to any such Transfer, the transferor delivers to all other Members a written explanation about why or why not the Transfer would not cause the Company to terminate under Section 708(b)(1)(B) of the Code and the Regulations thereunder as a result of such Transfer.

(f) Prior to any such Transfer, each other Member delivers to the transferor either

(i) The Member's written agreement that the Transfer would not cause the Company to terminate under Section 708(b)(1)(B) of the Code and the Regulations thereunder solely as a result of such Transfer, or

(ii) The Member's written consent for the Transfer.

9.4 Prohibited Transfers. Any purported Transfer of a Membership Interest that is not permitted by the terms of this Agreement shall be null and void and of no force or effect whatever; provided that, if the Company is required as a matter of law to recognize a Transfer that is not a Transfer permitted by the terms of this Agreement (unless the Management Committee, in its sole discretion and by unanimous action or consent, elects to recognize a Transfer that is not a Transfer permitted by the terms of this Agreement), the Membership Interest Transferred shall be strictly limited to the transferor's rights to allocations and distributions as provided by this Agreement with respect to the transferred Membership Interest, which allocations and distributions may be applied (without limiting any other legal or equitable rights of the Company) to satisfy any debts, obligations, or liabilities for damages that the transferor or transferee of such Membership Interest may have to the Company.

In the case of a Transfer or attempted Transfer of a Membership Interest that is not a Transfer permitted by the terms of this Agreement, the parties engaging or attempting to engage in such Transfer shall be liable to indemnify, and hold harmless the Company and the other Members from all cost, liability, and damage that any of such indemnified Person may incur (including, without limitation, incremental tax liabilities, attorneys' fees, fees of experts and accountants, and expenses) as a result of such Transfer or attempted Transfer and efforts to enforce the indemnity granted hereby.

9.5 Rights of Unadmitted Assignees. A Person who acquires a Membership Interest, but who is not admitted as a substituted Member pursuant to Section 9.6 shall be entitled only to allocations and distributions with respect to such Membership Interest in accordance with this Agreement, and shall have no right to any information or accounting of the affairs of the Company, shall not be entitled to inspect the books or records of the Company, and shall not have any of the rights of a Member under the Act or this Agreement but shall succeed to all of the obligations of the Member who purported to transfer a Membership Interest in violation hereof including without limitation the obligation of the transferee under this Section 9 with respect to any subsequent transfers.

9.6 Admission of New and Substituted Members. Subject to the other provisions of this Section 9, a transferee or acquiree of a Membership Interest shall be admitted to the Company as a new or substituted Member upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in this Section 9.6:

(a) The Membership Interest with respect to which the transferee is being admitted was acquired by means of a Transfer permitted by the terms of this Agreement.

(b) The transferee of the Membership Interest (other than, with respect to clauses (i) and (ii) below, a transferee that was a Member or a Wholly-Owned Affiliate of a Member prior to the Transfer) shall, by written instrument in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Management Committee (and, in the case of clause (iii) below, the transferor Member), (i) make customary representations and warranties to each non-transferring Member as to its due organization, authority to become a party to this Agreement, litigation and required consents, (ii) accept and adopt the terms and provisions of this Agreement, including Section 5.2(c), this Section 9 and Section 10, and (iii) assume the obligations of the transferor Member under this Agreement with respect to the transferred Membership Interest. Upon unanimous agreement of all Members, a transferor Member transferring all but not less than all of its Membership Interest to any Permitted Transferee shall be released from all such assumed obligations except (x) those obligations or liabilities of the transferor Member arising out of a breach of this Agreement, and (y) in the case of a Transfer to any Person other than a Member or any of its Affiliates, those obligations or liabilities of the transferor Member based on events occurring, arising or maturing prior to the date of Transfer.

(c) A new Member acquiring a Membership Interest from the Company shall by written instrument in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Management Committee (i) make representations and warranties to the Members equivalent to those set forth in Section 9.6(b)(i) and (ii) accept and adopt the terms and provisions of this Agreement.

(d) The transferee or acquiree pays or reimburses the Company for all reasonable legal, filing, and publication costs that the Company incurs in connection with the admission of the transferee or acquiree as a Member with respect to the Transferred Membership Interest.

(e) Except in the case of a Transfer involuntarily by operation of law, if required by the Management Committee, the transferee (other than a transferee that was a Member or a Wholly-Owned Affiliate of a Member prior to the Transfer) shall deliver to the Company evidence of the authority of such Person to become a Member and to be bound by all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and the transferee and transferor shall each execute and deliver such other instruments as the Management Committee reasonably deems necessary or appropriate to effect, and as a condition to, such Transfer, including amendments to the Certificate or any other instrument filed with the State of Delaware or any other state or governmental authority. In the event of an involuntary Transfer by operation of law the transferee shall succeed to all of the obligations of the transferring Member under this Agreement but shall not have any rights (including rights with respect to Management Committee membership or under Section 9) other than with respect to allocations or distributions under this Agreement.

9.7 Representations Regarding Transfers; Legend. Each Member hereby represents and warrants to the Company and the Members that such Member's acquisition of a Membership Interest hereunder is made as principal for such Member's own account and not for resale or distribution of such Membership Interest. Each Member further hereby agrees that the following legends may be placed upon any counterpart of this Agreement, the Certificate of Formation, or any other document or instrument evidencing ownership of a Membership Interest:

The Membership Interest represented by this document has not been registered under any securities laws and the transferability of such Membership Interest is restricted. Such Membership Interest may not be sold, assigned, or transferred, nor will any assignee, vendee, transferee, or endorsee thereof be recognized as having acquired any such Membership Interest by the issuer for any purposes, unless (1) a registration statement under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, with respect to such Membership Interest shall then be in effect and such transfer has been qualified under all applicable state securities laws or (2) the availability of an exemption from such registration and qualification shall be established to the satisfaction of counsel to the Company; and

The Membership Interest represented by this document is subject to, and is transferable only upon compliance with, the provisions of a limited liability company agreement, dated as of April 9, 2009. A copy of the above-referenced agreement is on file at the principal office of the Company.

SECTION 10
EVENTS OF DEFAULT

10.1 Events of Default. The following acts shall constitute an Event of Default hereunder:

(a) A Transfer by any Member that is not a Permitted Transfer;

(b) Failure of any Member to materially comply with any material covenant or agreement hereunder in accordance with its terms within thirty (30) days after receipt of notice thereof; or

10.2 Remedies Upon an Event of Default. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing:

(a) The non-defaulting Members may seek specific performance of any covenant or agreement contained herein, and may seek to enjoin the breach of any covenant or agreement. It is acknowledged that in such event it would be impossible to measure in money the damages that would be suffered if the parties hereto fail to comply with any of the obligations imposed herein on them and that, in the event of any such failure, an aggrieved party hereto will be irreparably damaged and will not have an adequate remedy at law. In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law, any such party shall therefore, be entitled to equitable relief from any court having jurisdiction over such dispute, and if any action should be brought in equity to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement, none of the parties shall raise the defense that there is an adequate remedy at law; and

(b) Each non-defaulting Member shall be entitled to recover from the defaulting Member in an appropriate proceeding any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses of whatever nature (including reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements) (collectively, "Damages") suffered or incurred by the Company or the non-defaulting Members as a result of such Event of Default. No punitive damages shall be awarded as a result of an Event of Default hereunder.

(c) If the Event of Default arises from the Bankruptcy of a Member, no less than five Business Days after the commencement of a Bankruptcy proceeding, whether Voluntary or Involuntary, such Member shall provide notice of its offer to sell to all non-defaulting Members (the "Default Sale Notice") all but not less than all of the Membership Interest of the Company held by such defaulting Member. Each non-defaulting Member shall have the option within forty-five days of receiving the Default Sale Notice (the "Acceptance Period") to purchase all, but not less than all, of its pro rata share (based on the number of Membership Interests held by such non-defaulting Member as compared to the total number of Membership Interests held by all non-defaulting Members) of the Membership Interests offered. The price of the Membership Interests offered by the defaulting Member shall be the Fair Value of such Membership Interests less any Damages incurred by the non-defaulting Member that are recoverable pursuant to Section 10.2(b). If such offer to purchase is accepted such that all of the Membership Interests of the defaulting Member are purchased, and at least two Members remain, such Bankruptcy shall not be a Dissolution Event.

(d) Each non-defaulting Member shall if it so desires, exercise its rights under Section 10.2(c) by delivering to the defaulting Member written notice of election (the "Acceptance Agreement") prior to 5:00 p.m., Eastern standard time, on or before the last day of the Acceptance Period. By delivering the Acceptance Agreement, the non-defaulting Member agrees to purchase, and the defaulting Member agrees to sell, that portion of the defaulting Member's Membership Interests which corresponds to the defaulting Member's pro rata share. The Acceptance Agreement shall identify the committed source of financing for such purchase or provide evidence that the non-defaulting Member is able to effect the purchase.

The completion of the sale pursuant to Section 10.2(c) shall occur on a date to be mutually agreed between the defaulting Member and the non-defaulting Member(s), but in no event later than five Business Days after the latter of (i) the delivery date of the Acceptance Agreement or (ii) the date on which the last of any required regulatory approvals in connection with such transaction is received. All payments of the purchase price for a transaction pursuant to Section 10.2(c) shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts designated by the defaulting Member for such purpose.

(e) If the Event of Default arises from a Transfer that is not a Permitted Transfer, the transferring Member shall take or cause to be taken all action necessary to reverse such Transfer.

(f) In addition to the foregoing remedies, each defaulting Member hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless each non-defaulting Member, the Company, their Affiliates and their respective partners, officers, directors, agents, representatives, employees and trustees ("Indemnified Parties") from and against all Damages arising out of or related to such Event of Default.

SECTION 11
DISSOLUTION AND WINDING UP

11.1 Dissolution Events. The Company shall dissolve and shall commence winding up and liquidating upon the first to occur of any of the following (each a "Dissolution Event"):

(i) The unanimous vote of the Members to dissolve, wind up, and liquidate the Company; or

(ii) A judicial dissolution under Section 18-802 of the Act.

The Members hereby agree that, notwithstanding any provision of the Act, the Company shall not dissolve prior to the occurrence of a Dissolution Event. The Members acknowledge that, prior to a Pan Am Change in Control, the Management Committee has the potential to be deadlocked on certain decisions, and it is the intent of the Members that such deadlock shall not constitute grounds for a judicial dissolution under Section 18-802 of the Act.

11.2 Winding Up. Upon the occurrence of a Dissolution Event, the Company shall continue solely for the purposes of winding up its affairs in an orderly manner, liquidating its assets, and satisfying the claims of its creditors and Members, and no Member shall take any action that is inconsistent with, or not necessary to or appropriate for, the winding up of the Company's business and affairs, provided that all covenants contained in this Agreement and obligations provided for in this Agreement shall continue to be fully binding upon the Members until such time as the Property has been distributed pursuant to this Section 11.2 and the Certificate of Formation has been canceled pursuant to the Act. The Liquidator shall be responsible for overseeing the winding up and dissolution of the Company, which winding up and dissolution shall be completed within ninety days of the occurrence of the Dissolution Event. The Liquidator shall take full account of the Company's liabilities and Property and shall cause the Property or the proceeds from the sale thereof, to the extent sufficient therefor, to be applied and distributed, to the maximum extent permitted by law, in the following order:

(a) First, to creditors (including Members and Committee Representatives who are creditors, to the extent otherwise permitted by law) in satisfaction of all of the Company's debts and other liabilities (whether by payment or the making of reasonable provision for payment thereof), other than liabilities for which reasonable provision for payment has been made;

(b) Second, except as provided in this Agreement, to Members and former Members of the Company in satisfaction of liabilities for distribution under the Act;

(c) The balance, if any, to the Members in accordance with their positive Capital Account balances (after taking into account all adjustments thereto for contributions, distributions and allocations for the year of dissolution and all prior periods).

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a Dissolution Event, the holder(s) of the NS Member's Membership Interests shall have a right to in-kind distribution of the Line upon payment of an amount equal to the difference between the Fair Value of the Line and the amount the NS Member would otherwise be entitled to after giving effect to Section 11.2(a) through Section 11.2(c) above.

(e) Members or Committee Representatives may receive reasonable compensation for any services performed pursuant to this Section 11.

11.3 Compliance With Certain Requirements of Regulations; Deficit Capital Accounts. In the event the Company is "liquidated" within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(g), and any Member has a deficit balance in its Capital Account (after giving effect to all contributions, distributions and allocations for all Fiscal Years, including the Fiscal Year during which such liquidation occurs), such Member shall have no obligation to make any contribution to the capital of the Company with respect to such deficit, and such deficit shall not be considered a debt owed to the company or to any other Person for any purpose whatsoever. In the discretion of the Liquidator, a pro rata portion of the distributions that would otherwise be made to the Members pursuant to this Section 11 may be:

(a) Distributed to a trust established for the benefit of the Members for the purposes of liquidating Company assets, collecting amounts owed to the Company, and paying any contingent or unforeseen liabilities or obligations of the Company. The assets of any such trust shall be distributed to the Members from time to time, in the reasonable discretion of the Liquidator, in the same proportions as the amount distributed to such trust by the Company would otherwise have been distributed to the Members pursuant to Section 11.2; or

(b) Withheld to provide a reasonable reserve for Company liabilities (contingent or otherwise) and to reflect the unrealized portion of any installment obligations owed to the Company, provided that such withheld amounts shall be distributed to the Members as soon as practicable.

11.4 Distributions in Kind. Any non-cash asset distributed to one or more Members shall first be valued at its Fair Value to determine Profit and Loss that would have resulted if such asset were sold for such value. Such Profit or Loss shall then be allocated to reflect such allocation.

11.5 Rights of Members. In the event of any distribution of Property in accordance with Section 11 hereof, except as provided in Section 11.2(d), no Member shall have the right or power to demand or receive Property other than cash from the Company. If the assets of the Company remaining after payment or discharge of the debts or liabilities of the Company are insufficient to return such Capital Contributions, the Members shall have no recourse against the Company or any other Member or Committee Representative.

11.6 Notice of Dissolution/Termination.

(a) In the event a Dissolution Event occurs, the Management Committee shall promptly, but in no event later than seven (7) days thereafter, provide written notice thereof to each of the Members.

(b) Upon completion of the distribution of the Company's Property as provided in this Section 11, the Company shall be terminated, and the Liquidator shall cause the filing of the Certificate of Cancellation pursuant to the Act and shall take all such other actions as may be necessary to terminate the Company.

11.7 Allocations During Period of Liquidation. During the period commencing on the first day of the Fiscal Year during which a Dissolution Event occurs and ending on the date on which all of the assets of the Company have been distributed to the Members pursuant to Section 11.2 (the "Liquidation Period"), the Members shall continue to share Profits, Losses, gain, loss and other items of Company income, gain, loss or deduction in the manner provided in Section 3.

11.8 Character of Liquidating Distributions. All payments made in liquidation of the interest of a Member in the Company shall be made in exchange for the interest of such Member in Property pursuant to Section 736(b)(1) of the Code, including the interest of such Member in Company goodwill.

11.9 The Liquidator.

(a) Definition. The "Liquidator" shall mean a Person appointed by the unanimous vote of the Members to oversee the liquidation of the Company.

(b) Fees. The Company is authorized to pay a reasonable fee to the Liquidator for its services performed pursuant to this Section 11 and to reimburse the Liquidator for its reasonable costs and expenses incurred in performing those services.

(c) Indemnification. The Company shall indemnify, save harmless, and pay all judgments and claims against such Liquidator or any officers, directors, agents or employees of the Liquidator relating to any liability or damage incurred by reason of any act performed or omitted to be performed by the Liquidator, or any officers, directors, agents or employees of the Liquidator in connection with the liquidation of the Company, including reasonable attorneys' fees incurred by the Liquidator, officer, director, agent or employee in connection with the defense of any action based on any such act or omission, which attorneys' fees may be paid as incurred, except to the extent such liability or damage is caused by the fraud, intentional misconduct of, or a knowing violation of the laws by the Liquidator which was material to the cause of action.

(i) Selection of Arbitrator. A single independent arbitrator shall be appointed by the AAA using the listing, ranking and striking procedure in the Rules. Any arbitrator appointed by the AAA shall be a retired judge or a practicing attorney with no less than fifteen years of experience with large commercial cases and an experienced arbitrator.

(ii) Conduct of Arbitration. The arbitration shall be held and the award shall be issued in Washington, D.C. In addition to money damages, the arbitrator may award any remedy provided for under applicable law and the terms of this Agreement, including, without limitation, specific performance or other forms of injunctive relief. The arbitrator shall apply the law of the State of Delaware to the substance of the Dispute and will have no power or authority, under the rules of the AAA or otherwise, to amend or disregard any provision of this Agreement.

(iii) Replacement of Arbitrator. Should the arbitrator refuse or be unable to proceed with arbitration proceedings, a replacement arbitrator will be selected using the same method of selection as the original arbitrator.

(iv) Findings and Conclusions. The arbitrator will, after reaching judgment and award, prepare and distribute to the parties a written award including the findings of fact and conclusions of law relevant to such award and containing an opinion setting forth the reasons for the giving or denial of any award.

(v) Time is of the Essence. The arbitrator is hereby instructed that time is of the essence in the arbitration proceeding, and that the arbitrator shall have the right and authority to issue monetary sanctions against any party if, upon a showing that such party is unreasonably delaying the proceeding.

(vi) Temporary Equitable Relief. By agreeing to arbitration, the parties do not intend to deprive any Delaware Court of its jurisdiction to issue a pre-arbitral injunction, pre-arbitral attachment, or other order in aid of arbitration proceedings and the enforcement of any award. Without prejudice to such provisional remedies as may be available under the jurisdiction of a Delaware Court, the arbitrator shall have full authority to grant provisional remedies and to direct the parties to request that any court modify or vacate any temporary or preliminary relief issued by such court, and to award money damages for the failure of any party to respect the arbitrator's orders to that effect.

(vii) Consolidation. The parties are committed to the prompt and efficient resolution of Disputes. Accordingly, if more than one Dispute arise under this Agreement and/or any JV Transaction Agreement, such Disputes may be brought in a single arbitration. If more than one arbitration is brought with respect to Disputes under this Agreement and/or any JV Transaction Agreement, then any party may request that any arbitration or any new Dispute arising under this Agreement or the JV Agreement be consolidated into any prior arbitration. The new Dispute or arbitration shall be so consolidated, provided that the arbitrator for the prior (or first filed) arbitration determines that (x) the new Dispute or arbitration presents significant issues of law or fact common with those in the pending arbitration; (y) no party would be unduly prejudiced and (z) consolidation under such circumstances would not result in undue delay for the prior arbitration. Any order of consolidation issued by such arbitrator shall be final and binding upon the parties. Unless the parties otherwise agree, the arbitrator appointed first in time shall serve as the arbitrator for the consolidated arbitration. The parties waive any right they have to appeal or to seek interpretation, revision or annulment of such order of consolidation under the Rules or in any court. The Parties agree that upon such an order of consolidation, they will promptly dismiss any arbitration brought under this Agreement, the subject of which has been consolidated into another arbitral proceeding.

(viii) Discovery. Recognizing the express desire of the parties for an expeditious means of dispute resolution, the arbitrator will allow for limited discovery as may be reasonable under the circumstances.

(ix) Costs and Attorneys' Fees. Notwithstanding any rule of the AAA to the contrary, the arbitrators rendering judgment under this Section 13.3(b) will have the power to award the costs of the arbitration, including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses to the prevailing party or parties in the arbitration. In any action to enforce this agreement to arbitrate or any arbitral award rendered hereunder, the court may award costs and attorneys' fees against the party resisting enforcement.

(x) Miscellaneous. The arbitrator shall not have the power to award consequential or punitive damages or to determine violations of criminal or antitrust laws. Pending the written decision of the arbitrator, there shall be no interruption in the transaction of business under this Agreement, and all payments in respect thereto shall be made in the same manner as prior to the arising of the dispute until the matter in dispute shall have been fully determined by arbitration, and thereupon such payment or restitution shall be made as required by the written decision of the arbitrator. An arbitrator's award may be appealed in accord with Section 23 of the Uniform Arbitration Act.
