accordance with the BANI Rules.
17.5 The Board of Arbitration appointed must conduct the arbitration in
accordance with this Agreement, the BANI Rules and the prevailing
Indonesian laws and regulations relating (to arbitration ("ARBITRATION
LAWS AND REGULATIONS"). Where this Agreement, the BANI Rules, or the

arbitration proceedings, the Board of Arbitration must decide as to how
the proceedings will be conducted. The parties shall each use their
reasonable efforts to ensure that a hearing on the merits shall be
commenced no later than three (3) months after the appointment of the
third arbitrator, unless the parties agree on an extension of time or
the tribunal extends such time for good cause shown. Each of the
parties expressly agree to waive the applicability of Article 48(1) and

arbitration proceedings need not be completed within a specified time.

attachment or other order in aid of arbitral proceedings which may be
made by either party or (ii) after the matter has been determined by
the Board of Arbitration as provided in this clause 17, and then only
for the enforcement of the arbitration award, neither the Purchaser nor
the Seller will be entitled to commence or file any action in a court
of law relating to any Dispute.
17.7 Except as otherwise permitted in the Arbitration Laws and Regulations,
any decision of the Board of Arbitration in any matter within this
clause 17 will be final, binding and incontestable and may be used
as a basis for enforcement thereon in the Republic of Indonesia or
elsewhere. The Board of Arbitration will be entitled to include in its
decision a determination as to the payment of the cost and expenses of
the arbitrators, the administrative costs of the arbitration, the legal
fees incurred by the parties, the cost and expenses of witnesses and
25
all other costs and expenses necessarily incurred in the opinion of the
Board of Arbitration in order to properly settle the Dispute. Each of
the parties renounce its right to appeal the decision of the panel of
arbitrators in accordance with Article 70 of the Arbitration Law No. 30
and agrees that no party shall appeal the decision of the panel of
arbitrators to any court.
17.8 The Purchaser and the Seller expressly agree (i) that the decisions of
the Board of Arbitration must be made based on majority votes of the
arbitrators, (ii) that the Board of Arbitration must state the reasons
for its decisions in writing and must make the decisions entirely on
the basis of applicable laws and not on the basis of the principle of
ex aequo et bono, and (iii) that the mandate of the Board of
Arbitration duly constituted in this Agreement will remain in effect
until a final arbitration award has been issued by the Board of
Arbitration.
