Dispute that is subject to arbitration in accordance with Section 22.5(a) above. If you do not

amicably resolve or settle such Dispute with us in writing within thirty (30) days after such

notice, the notifying party will have the right to submit such Dispute to the American

Arbitration Association (“AAA”) for binding resolution. Any such Dispute will be resolved

exclusively and finally by the AAA. You and us will agree upon another arbitration forum if
