Section 5. The Uniform Arbitration Act is amended by
changing Section 3 as follows:

Sec. 3. Appointment of arbitrators.
If the arbitration agreement provides a method of
appointment of arbitrators, this this method shall be followed.
In the absence thereof, any method of appointment of
arbitrators agreed upon by the parties to the contract shall be

the method of appointment of arbitrators is not specified in
the agreement and cannot be agreed upon by the parties, the
entire arbitration agreement shall terminate.
