The arbitration will be conducted in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, and will be conducted in English. Each party will bear its own costs and expenses in connection with the arbitration, including its own attorneys’ fees, except that the parties will share equally the fees and expenses of the arbitrator and the arbitration organization, unless the arbitrator determines that a different allocation is appropriate based on the circumstances, including awarding costs to the prevailing party or against a party that has acted in bad faith or brought frivolous claims.
