(a) Negotiation. Upon written notice of a Dispute in which such Dispute is described with particularity, the parties shall attempt to resolve it promptly by a good faith negotiation between them (the “Negotiation”) in an effort to resolve the Dispute without the necessity of any formal proceeding related thereto, provided that engaging in Negotiation shall not be deemed to waive, prejudice, or compromise, any of their legal or factual positions concerning the Dispute, and that these resolution discussions shall be considered, and protected, as inadmissible settlement communications;
(b) Mediation. If the Negotiation is not successful within thirty (30) days, then the parties hereby agree that they shall proceed in a mediation (the “Mediation”) with a private neutral to be selected by the parties among the neutrals available through the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) Mediation program (the “Mediator”) within fifteen (15) days thereafter.

(iii) Any award thereof shall be final and binding on the parties, and judgment on the award may be entered in and enforced by any court of competent jurisdiction.
(iv) Other than an action necessary to enforce the award of the arbitrators, the parties agree that the provisions of this Section are a complete defense to any suit, action or other proceedings instituted in any court or before any administrative tribunal with respect to any Dispute.
