parties shall jointly pursue, upon such determination and the receipt by each
party of the written acknowledgment of such determination, each party hereto
shall: (i) not participate in any manner in the preparation or submission of
proposals to the DOE by itself or with a third party to the exclusion of the
other party; and (ii) not participate in any manner in furtherance of the
preparation of proposals to the DOE by or with any third party for
opportunities related to the Project, without the written consent of the
other party, which consent may be withheld in such other party's sole
discretion.  Nothing herein shall be deemed to confer any right or impose any
obligation or restriction on either party with respect to any other project

participating in a DOE project, as a subcontractor or otherwise, once the DOE
has awarded the project to a party other than BNFL, GTSD or a Project
Organization, provided that such party uses its best efforts to participate
in such DOE project with the other party hereto, unless the types of goods or
services required to be provided for such project or the economics of the
party's participation in such project do not make it commercially reasonable,
as determined in the reasonable discretion of the Steering Committee, to
jointly participate in such project.

     3.2  Unless otherwise agreed upon by the Steering Committee, upon the
earlier of (i) three (3) business days after the issuance of an RFP by the
DOE for a Project that the Steering Committee has determined that the parties
should jointly pursue or (ii) the determination by the Steering Committee to
jointly pursue a Project and the determination by the Steering Committee to
commence work in earnest to prepare a Proposal for such Project (but in any
event not later than the submission of a Proposal pursuant to this provision
(ii)), BNFL shall pay to GTSD, subject to Section 3.6, the sum of $1.0
million (the "Article XII and Non-Competition Fee") in consideration of
GTSD's agreement to, (i) exclusively pursue the Project with BNFL, (ii)
provide the technology required under Article XII, and (iii) not compete with
BNFL and to exclusively team with BNFL and mutually acceptable third parties
with respect to preparing a proposal for the stabilization of radioactive
waste contained in the underground tanks of the DOE's Hanford Washington site.

     3.3  GTSD shall be deemed to have earned the Article XII and
Non-Competition Fee simply by its agreement to the items specified in Section
3.2 and no further conditions or obligations shall be required to be
satisfied after the payment of the Article XII and Non-Competition Fee.

     3.4  In the event that GTSD has not received the Article XII and
Non-Competition Fee within thirty (30) calendar days of when the obligation
of BNFL to pay such Article XII and Non-Competition Fee arose pursuant to
Section 3.2 above, then, in addition to its right to


                                      -4-

<PAGE>

receive the Article XII and Non-Competition Fee, GTSD shall be free to pursue
the Project with another party and shall not be subject to the exclusivity
provisions of Section 3.1 herein with respect to that Project.

     3.5  For purposes of this Agreement, the Steering Committee has
determined to pursue the Project for the stabilization of the radioactive
waste contained in the underground tanks at the DOE's Hanford, Washington
site and all of the conditions of Section 3.2 herein shall be deemed to have
been satisfied as of the date hereof.  Accordingly, BNFL shall pay to GTSD
$1.0 million upon the execution and delivery of this Agreement.

     3.6  The maximum aggregate amount of Article XII and Non-Competition
Fees to be paid by BNFL to GTSD pursuant to this Agreement shall be $5.0
million.  In the event that BNFL, GTSD or a Project Organization is not
awarded any one or more of the Projects that the Steering Committee has
determined to pursue, GTSD agrees to exclusively team with BNFL on one (1)
additional Project for no additional Article XII and Non-Competition Fee,
provided that GTSD has received an aggregate of $5.0 million in Article XII
and Non-Competition Fees from BNFL.

     3.7  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in the
event that BNFL is (i) debarred or suspended from doing business with the DOE
or the United States Government or (ii) legally prohibited in any way from
being involved in a Project, then the exclusivity provisions contained in
this Article III shall be suspended until such time as BNFL is legally
permitted do business with the DOE and to be involved in a Project.

     3.8  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event that
GTSD has defaulted on any of its payment obligations under the Convertible
Debenture, BNFL shall be entitled to offset the amounts owed to GTSD as
Article XII and Non-Competition Fees until such time as the payment default
has been cured or the payment default has been waived by BNFL.  All amounts
so offset shall be applied in whole toward the cure of the payment default
under the Convertible Debenture.

                                   ARTICLE IV
                    PREPARATION AND SUBMISSION OF PROPOSALS


     4.1. The parties agree that the Prime Contractor shall serve as the
primary interface with the DOE in the pursuit of a Contract for a Project.

     4.2. The Subcontractor shall submit in a timely manner an offer to the
Prime Contractor for the Subcontractor's respective scope of work to be
integrated into the Proposal to be submitted to the DOE by the Prime
Contractor.  The offer to be submitted by the Subcontractor to the Prime
Contractor shall include the necessary technical and price information for
the goods and/or services to be provided by the Subcontractor, and support
and backup


                                      -5-

<PAGE>

therefor, so that the Prime Contractor can complete the Proposal in an
appropriate manner.  The Subcontractor shall bear all of the costs and
expenses associated with preparing the offer that is submitted to the Prime
Contractor.  The Prime Contractor shall incorporate the relevant offer by the
Subcontractor in the Proposal and shall submit the Proposal to the DOE.

     4.3  The Prime Contractor shall have the overall responsibility for the
preparation and submission of a Proposal, including the document preparation
cost for the Proposal.  The parties agree to submit the Proposal for review
by the Steering Committee before submission to the DOE and the Steering
Committee shall have approved the Proposal prior to its submission.  In no
event shall the Prime Contractor be entitled to modify or amend the offer
from the Subcontractor to be incorporated in the Proposal without the prior
written consent of the Subcontractor. Each party shall bear its own risks,
costs, fees and other expenses incurred in connection with the preparation
and submission of a Proposal.  After submission of a Proposal to the DOE, the
parties shall provide such services and information as are reasonably
required for evaluation of the Proposal and negotiation of the resulting
Contract.

     4.4. The Prime Contractor shall be responsible for carrying out all
negotiations with the DOE.  If requested by the Prime Contractor, the
Subcontractor, at its own expense, shall participate in presenting and
negotiating with the DOE with a view to obtaining an award to the Prime
Contractor of the Contract.  The Prime Contractor shall keep the
Subcontractor informed of the progress and content of the negotiations with
the DOE.  The Prime Contractor shall not agree to any amendment to the
Proposal which affects the rights and obligations of the Subcontractor
without the prior written consent of the Subcontractor, which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

     4.5. The parties hereby undertake to provide each other with prompt
notification in the event either party determines that it may not be in its
best interest, or the best interest of both parties, to pursue the Project
and enter into a Contract with the DOE.

                                  ARTICLE V
                                SUBCONTRACTS

     5.1  In the event that a Contract is awarded to the Prime Contractor
based on a Proposal, the Prime Contractor shall, as soon as practicable,
place a subcontract (the "Subcontract") with the Subcontractor for its
respective scope of work consistent with the terms of the offer submitted by
the Subcontractor to the Prime Contractor and included in the Proposal.

     5.2  It is understood by the parties that the Prime Contractor may enter
into an agreement with other potential subcontractors in support of
opportunities in which the parties hereto are jointly pursuing provided that
such potential subcontractor shall not provide goods or services which the
Subcontractor is capable of providing and willing to provide on commercially
reasonable terms.  Subcontractor shall be permitted (as a subcontractor) to
enter into a


                                    -6-

<PAGE>

subcontract with a third party provided that the Steering Committee has
approved such third party subcontractor and the terms and conditions of the
subcontract with such third party.

     5.3  The parties agree that the proportion and content of work to be
undertaken by each party in respect of each Project shall be generally
consistent with the scope of work as determined by the Steering Committee.
The parties recognize that as the RFP and as a Project are more clearly
defined, changes to the scope of work to be performed by each party may be
necessary to meet the requirements of the DOE.  In such cases the parties
shall agree upon reasonable variations to the scope of work for each party
for that particular Project in such a way so that the final scope of work for
each party for that particular Project shall be as close as possible to the
proportion and content of its scope of work initially determined by the
Steering Committee.

                               ARTICLE VI
                           STEERING COMMITTEE

     6.1  A Steering Committee shall be established by the parties.  The
Steering Committee shall consist of one representative of GTSD and one
representative of BNFL (each a "Representative" and collectively the
"Representatives").  The initial Representative designated by GTSD shall be
Robert E. Prince and the initial Representative designated by BNFL shall be
Richard H. Peebles.  Replacement of the designated Representative, either
permanently or at any time, by a particular party shall require the written

only be held with the presence of both of the Representatives. Decisions of
the Steering Committee shall be made by mutual agreement with each
Representative acting and negotiating in good faith.  The Steering Committee
cannot act or make any determination without the approval of both
Representatives.

     6.3  The Representatives shall, prior to the commencement of each
meeting, elect a secretary to take minutes of the meeting. The secretary of a
Steering Committee meeting need not be one of the Representatives.  The
secretary shall distribute copies of the minutes of the meeting to both of
the parties within ten (10) calendar days after the meeting.  Such minutes
shall be deemed to have been accepted by the parties unless comments are made
in writing within ten (10) calendar days of their receipt by said parties.

     6.4  The Steering Committee shall have the following responsibilities
and shall be empowered to take the following actions:



                                   -7-

<PAGE>

     6.5  Each Representative has an obligation to inform the other
Representative of any possible projects or business opportunities which may
be contemplated by this Agreement, and the Representatives will make a
decision whether to jointly pursue such projects or business opportunities in
a timely fashion in light of all relevant and appropriate business
considerations.

     6.6  Each Representative shall designate a deputy (each a "Deputy
Representative" and collectively the "Deputy Representatives") who shall act
on his behalf only in the event that the Representative is unavailable and
action of the Steering Committee is to be taken.  Each Deputy Representative
may attend all meetings of the Steering Committee and may participate in such
meetings but shall not vote at such meetings unless the Deputy Representative
is acting on behalf of his Representative pursuant to the preceding sentence.
The initial Deputy Representative designated by Robert E. Prince shall be
Robert F. Shawver and the initial Deputy Representative designated by Richard
H. Peebles shall be determined at a later time provided that such initial
Deputy Representative is subject to the approval of Robert E. Prince.
Replacement of the designated Deputy Representative, either permanently or at
any time, by a particular Representative shall require the written consent of
the other Representative, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed.

     6.7  In the event that the Representatives cannot agree on a matter
under the authority of the Steering Committee and such inability to reach an
agreement continues for sixty (60) calendar days or such other period of time
that causes the interests of one or both of the parties to be adversely
affected, then the Representatives shall consider in good faith either (i)
delegating the authority of the Steering Committee to such other members of
their respective organizations who may be appropriate to assume such
authority or (ii) adopting such other appropriate means for resolving the
disagreement.

                                  ARTICLE VII
                            CLASSIFIED INFORMATION

          Access to classified information may be required in the performance
of the services hereunder and both parties shall use their best efforts to
meet the applicable security clearance requirements of the DOE and the United
States Government at all times relevant to this Agreement.

                                ARTICLE VIII
               OTHER COVENANTS AND AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES

     8.1  Unless otherwise agreed, until the later of (i) the termination of
this Agreement or (ii) BNFL no longer owns an interest in GTSD, BNFL hereby
agrees to perform, directly or through a subcontractor or other party,
vitrification of any substance only with GTSD, provided that BNFL and GTSD
can agree on mutually acceptable terms and conditions.


                                   -9-

<PAGE>

     8.2  BNFL and GTSD agree to extend to each other a "most favored nation"
approach for working jointly on any projects.

     8.3  (a)  BNFL and GTSD intend to jointly pursue vitrification projects
on a "preferred partner" basis.

          (b)  The parties will meet at least once every six (6) months to
discuss potential opportunities and strategies for pursuing projects outside
of the United States.

     8.4  The parties will use their reasonable efforts to cause their
respective Affiliates to comply with the provisions of Sections 8.1, 8.2 and
8.3(a).

     8.5  If GTSD is intending to borrow funds from a lender whereby it is
contemplated that such lender would have a security interest in the GTSD
Technology (as hereinafter defined), then GTSD covenants and agrees that it
shall use its best efforts to cause such lender (the "Lender") to execute as
part of the loan documents (the "Loan") a non-disturbance agreement, or
similar provision having like effect, granting to GTSD, BNFL or their
Affiliates, as appropriate, the limited, non-exclusive right to continue
using the GTSD Technology on any projects jointly undertaken by GTSD and BNFL
or by a Project Organization with terms substantially similar to those given
by First Fidelity Bank, N.A. to GTSD and BNFL in its non-disturbance
agreement of even date herewith (as determined in the reasonable discretion
of the Steering Committee) (any such agreement or provision referred to
herein as a "Non-Disturbance Agreement").  If, after GTSD uses such best
efforts for a reasonable time and the Lender will not agree to give a
Non-Disturbance Agreement, BNFL shall join the negotiations with GTSD and the
Lender solely on the issue of the Non-Disturbance Agreement and BNFL shall
use its best efforts to persuade the Lender to give a Non-Disturbance
Agreement.  If, after BNFL uses such best efforts for a reasonable time, the
Lender will not agree to give a Non-Disturbance Agreement, GTSD shall be
permitted to enter into the Loan arrangement only if BNFL first consents in
writing to the Loan (the "Consent"); provided, however, that the Consent
shall be required only for the portions of the Loan which are required in
order to protect continuing access to the GTSD Technology as such GTSD
Technology relates to any Project.  The Consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld by BNFL; and, in determining whether to grant such Consent, the sole
consideration of BNFL shall be whether the withholding of such Consent is
necessary in order to protect access to the GTSD Technology covered by the
Sublicense Agreement or BNFL's continuing access to the GTSD Technology as
such access is contemplated under this Agreement.

disclose proprietary or confidential information regarding the other party to
one of its Affiliates provided that such Affiliate executes and delivers a
confidentiality agreement reasonably satisfactory to the other party.

     9.4  In addition to the confidentiality provisions provided in the
preceding paragraph, BNFL shall ensure that in any project undertaken by it
or an Affiliate of BNFL within a period of five (5) years beyond the later of
(i) the termination of this Agreement, or (ii) the termination of BNFL's
right to designate a member or observer to GTSD's Board of Directors pursuant

Organization) under this Agreement is to be used only for the express purpose
for which it was transferred.  Any additional use of that information would
be the subject of a separate license or other agreement to be entered into
between the parties.

     10.2 No license to the other party (or to a Project Organization) under
any intellectual property rights is granted or implied by conveying
proprietary or confidential information to that party (or to a Project
Organization) for any purpose whatsoever other than the limited purposes of
the parties permitted under this Agreement.  None of such information which
may be transmitted or exchanged by the respective parties (or by a Project
Organization) shall constitute any representation, warranty, assurance,
guaranty or inducement by either party to the other (or to a Project
Organization) with respect to the infringement of patents or other rights of
others.

     10.3 Subject to the right, if any, of the DOE and to any express
provisions contained in any Subcontract between the parties hereto (which
said provisions shall prevail in the event of any conflict with this clause)
and subject to the provisions herein contained, all intellectual property
produced pursuant to this Agreement shall vest in and at all times remain
vested in the party originating that intellectual property; provided that if
the parties jointly produce material pursuant to this Agreement then unless
the parties previously agree in writing to the contrary, all intellectual
property rights in such jointly produced material shall vest jointly in each
of the parties without accounting to the other.  The parties undertake to
enter into good faith negotiations to agree upon such measures of protection
as patents and like instruments and the establishment thereof, as the parties
agree to be appropriate.

     10.4 In this regard, it is recognized that the parties may be required
under provisions contained in the Contract to grant licenses or other rights
to the DOE and, in that event they shall by reasonable agreement do so.  Any
such granting of licenses or other rights shall be mutually agreed by the
parties.

                                ARTICLE XI

                                 ARTICLE XII
                    PROVIDING TECHNOLOGY TO JOINT PROJECTS

     12.1 With respect to any Projects jointly undertaken by GTSD and BNFL or
by a Project Organization pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, GTSD shall
provide to such Projects through its involvement in such Projects all of the
rights and know-how in the technology currently owned by GTSD, or owned by
GTSD in the future, or in which GTSD has rights of use now or in the future,
including without limitation all of the Intellectual Property as defined in
Section 19.1 and all improvements and enhancements thereto for the
vitrification of worldwide radioactive and mixed waste (excluding Germany)
(all such technologies are collectively referred to herein as the "GTSD
Technology").  The contribution of the GTSD Technology to a Project shall be
undertaken through GTSD and shall not be deemed in any way to constitute an
assignment or sublicense of such technology to any other party.

     12.2 In the event that GTSD is (i) debarred or suspended from doing
business with the DOE or the United States Government, (ii) legally
prohibited in any way from being involved in a Project and providing the GTSD
Technology to the Project pursuant to Section 12.1 or (iii) unwilling or
unable to provide the GTSD Technology to any Project pursuant to Section 12.1
for any reason, then GTSD shall license or sublicense, as applicable, such
technology to the Project Organization or take such other action as is
determined by the Steering Committee to enable either BNFL or the Project
Organization that continues to be engaged in the Project to continue to use
the GTSD Technology until completion of such Project.  In the event that GTSD
shall be required to provide a license or sublicense pursuant to this Section
12.2, such license or sublicense shall be provided on terms which enable GTSD
to receive the same economic benefit it would have received had it been able
to participate in the Project and GTSD will not be entitled to receive any
additional consideration above such amount for the granting of the license or
sublicense hereunder.

     12.3 GTSD hereby covenants and agrees that it will not take any action,
or fail to take a required action, either of which results in the termination
of the license agreement by and between GTSD and Drs. Pedro B. Macedo and
Theodore A. Litovitz (collectively the "Inventors") dated August 17, 1992
(the "License Agreement") prior to the expiration of its natural term. GTSD
hereby covenants and agrees that it will use its best efforts to maintain the
License Agreement and the underlying Intellectual Property (as hereinafter
defined) in full force and effect so long as GTSD and BNFL are jointly
pursuing a Project or participating jointly in a Project, however, GTSD shall
have the right to amend the License Agreement or enter into a new license
agreement with the Inventors provided that the terms of such new license
agreement would not adversely affect GTSD's performance of its obligations
hereunder.

                                ARTICLE XIII
                         SHARING OF PROJECT FEES

     13.1 Notwithstanding any other arrangement for the sharing of fees with
respect to a Project or the compensation for goods or services provided to a
Project by each of the parties, which shall be determined by Steering
Committee for each particular Project, the parties hereby covenant and agree
that they will share a portion of the fees from each Project in the following
manner:

          (a) A fee (the "Project Fee") equal to three percent (3%) of the
total revenues related to the vitrification portion of a Project will be
shared equally by GTSD and BNFL until such time as BNFL has received an
amount (including amounts previously distributed to BNFL pursuant to this
paragraph) equal to a twelve percent (12%) cumulative annual yield on the
amount of the Article XII and Non-Competition Fee paid by BNFL to GTSD
pursuant to Article III for the particular Project.  Thereafter, such Project
Fee will be distributed eighty percent (80%) to GTSD and twenty percent (20%)
to BNFL.

          (b) In order to determine the total revenues related to the
vitrification portion of a given Project, the total revenues from such
Project shall be multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the
capital cost of the Project related to the vitrification portion and the
denominator of which is the total capital cost of the Project.  For purposes
of this Section 13.1, the term "total revenues from a Project" shall mean all
amounts or proceeds received by GTSD, BNFL or a Project Organization on a
Project, less the following deductions: (i) discounts allowed and taken for
prompt payment, (ii) allowances for returns or other trade credits, (iii) all
sales, use and other taxes imposed, (iv) packaging and transportation costs
and (v) the cost of services contracted to other subcontractors providing
technologies and services complimentary to the Technology.  The total capital
cost of the Project and the capital cost of the Project related to the
vitrification portion will be determined by the Steering Committee prior to
commencement of the Project.

          (c) In the event that GTSD, in order to provide the GTSD
Technology, must obtain from a third party a license or other authorization
under such third party's valid patent or other proprietary rights and must
pay a license or other fees thereunder to such third party in order to use
any portion of the GTSD Technology, then in such event, GTSD shall be
entitled to recover such license or other fees payable to such third party
out of the Project Fee prior to the distribution arrangement contemplated by
paragraph (a) of this Section 13.1 and such license or other fees payable to
such third party shall reduce on a dollar for dollar basis the amount of the
Project Fee distributable to each of GTSD and BNFL pursuant to paragraph (a)
of this Section 13.1.

          (d) The Project Fee provided for in this Article XIII shall be
based on Project revenues received by GTSD, BNFL or a Project Organization
during each calendar year and shall be paid by March 31st of the following
year.  All payments required to be made under this


                                   -14-

<PAGE>

Agreement shall be made in United States funds. At the time of payment of the
Project Fee, the Steering Committee shall render to the parties hereto a
statement in writing showing computation of such Project Fee payable for such
year.

          (e) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event
that GTSD has defaulted on any of its payment obligations under the
Convertible Debenture, BNFL shall be entitled to receive the entire Project
Fee, less amounts owed to GTSD pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section
13.1, until such time as the payment default has been cured or the payment
default has been waived by BNFL.  All of GTSD's portion of the Project Fee
directed to BNFL pursuant to this paragraph shall be applied in whole toward
the cure of the payment default under the Convertible Debenture.

     13.2 All other fees and compensation for goods and services provided by
the parties to a Project shall be determined by the Steering Committee prior
to the commencement of the Project and shall be reflected in an appropriate
Subcontract.

days prior to the commencement of such one year period.

     14.3 GTSD will administer and manage the research and development
efforts performed in the United States and an Affiliate of BNFL will
administer and manage the research and development efforts performed in the
United Kingdom, but GTSD shall participate in such research and development
activities in the United Kingdom and shall provide any necessary technology
rights that it owns to such activities.  The Steering Committee shall
determine who is to administer and manage the research and development
efforts performed outside of the


                                  -15-

     14.5 As to the research and development efforts which are the subject of
this Article XIV, each party shall remain the sole owner of its technologies
(including any enhancements or improvements thereto) resulting from the
research and development efforts contemplated by this Article XIV, and the
ownership and access rights of the parties with respect to any such
intellectual property regarding any such technologies, other than each
party's respective technologies, shall be determined on a case by case basis
by the Steering Committee in its reasonable discretion either (i) at the time
the budget for the expenditure of the research and development funds and the
authorization to expend such funds is determined or (ii) at the time such
intellectual property is developed.

     14.6 In consideration of its agreement to provide the research and
development funding commitment specified herein, BNFL shall receive the
benefit of such enhancements or improvements to the GTSD Technology through
its sublicense arrangement pursuant to Article XV below and shall also
receive all information, data and know-how that are the product of the
research and development activities under the arrangement specified by this
Article XIV.

     14.7 The research and development funding provided by BNFL pursuant to
this Article XIV is to be used solely for research and development of the
GTSD Technology and is not in any way to be construed as part of the
consideration for the sublicense granted by GTSD to BNFL pursuant to Article
XV.

     14.8 The obligations of each of the parties pursuant to this Article XIV
hall be a material obligation of this Agreement.

                 BNFL REPRESENTATION ON GTSD BOARD OF DIRECTORS

     16.1 As long as the Convertible Debenture is outstanding, BNFL shall
have the right to designate an observer to GTSD's Board of Directors who
shall have visitation rights on GTSD's Board of Directors, but no right to
vote on any matter that comes before GTSD's Board of Directors.  The observer
designated by BNFL pursuant to this Section 16.1 shall not be considered a

     21.1 The waiver by any of the parties of any breach of any provision
hereof by another shall not be construed to be a waiver of any succeeding
breach of such provision or a waiver of the provision itself.

     21.2 If one or more of the provisions of the Agreement shall be found to
be illegal, invalid or unenforceable under any applicable law, then such
contravention or invalidity shall not invalidate the entire Agreement.  Such
provision shall be deemed to be modified consistent with the intent of the
parties to the extent necessary to render it legal, valid and enforceable,
and if no such modification shall render it legal, valid and enforceable,
then this Agreement shall be construed as if not containing the provision
held to be invalid, and the rights and obligations of the parties shall be
construed and enforced accordingly.

          The validity of this Agreement and of any of the terms or

          Any disputes between the parties relating to the terms of this
Agreement, or the breach thereof, shall be submitted to binding arbitration
in Baltimore, Maryland, in accordance with the rules of the American
Arbitration Association.  In the event that either party desires to arbitrate
any such dispute, such party shall so notify the other party and the parties
shall endeavor, for a period of thirty (30) days, to resolve such dispute
without arbitration.  In the event that the parties cannot resolve the
dispute within such thirty (30) day period, then within ten (10) days
thereafter, the parties shall jointly designate an arbitrator to hear the
dispute, or, if the parties are unable to jointly select an arbitrator, an
arbitrator shall be chosen by the President of the American Arbitration
Association from lists of candidates provided by each of the parties.  The
decision of the arbitrator shall be final and binding upon the parties, their
successor and assigns, and they shall comply with such decision in good
faith, and each party hereby submits itself to the jurisdiction of the courts

hereunder.  The arbitrator may order specific performance or other equitable
relief or remedies to the extent it deems it appropriate, in any situation in
which a court could so order.  Each party shall pay all of its own expenses
in connection with such arbitration and one-half of the arbitrator's fees and
expenses.
