The Bank, the Borrower and the Guarantor shall each defray its own expenses in the arbitration proceedings. The costs of the Arbitral Tribunal shall be divided and borne equally between the Bank on the one side and the Borrower and Guarantor on the other. Any question concerning the division of costs of the Arbitral Tribunal or the procedure for payment of such costs shall be determined by the Arbitral Tribunal.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section shall not authorize any entry of judgment or enforcement of the award against the Guarantor except as such procedure may be available against the Guarantor otherwise than by reason of the provisions of this Section.
