Alternate Dispute Resolution If a dispute, controversy or claim (whether based upon contract, tort, statute, common law or otherwise) (collectively a “Dispute”) arises from or relates directly or indirectly to the subject matter hereof, and if the Dispute cannot be settled through direct discussions, the parties shall first endeavor to resolve the Dispute by participating in a mediation administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Commercial Mediation Rules before resorting to arbitration.

Either party may seek review of the arbitrator’s award before an arbitrations review panel comprised of three arbitrators qualified in the same manner as the initial arbitrator(s) (as set forth above) by submitting a written request to the AAA. The right of review shall be deemed waived unless requested in writing within ten (10) days of the receipt of the initial arbitrator’s award.
