Either party may seek equitable relief, such as an injunction, prior to or during the negotiations in order to preserve the status quo and protect its interests during the process. All communications, whether oral or written, are confidential and will be treated by the parties as compromise & settlement negotiations for the purposes of the Federal Rules of Evidence as well as any applicable, corresponding state rules. Notwithstanding the foregoing, evidence that is otherwise admissible or discoverable shall not be rendered inadmissible or non-discoverable as a result of its use in negotiations.

If the aforementioned mediation service is no longer available for any reason at the time of the Dispute, the parties shall mutually agree upon an alternative, comparable service, yet must first use the named service’s successor, if one exists. The mediation shall commence upon the Parties’ provision of a joint, written request for mediation to the mediation service. Such request shall include a sufficient description of the Dispute and relief requested. Each party shall cooperate with the mediation service in all reasonable respects and participate in good faith wherever required. Mediation fees and expenses shall be borne equally by each of the Parties.

Either party may seek equitable relief, such as an injunction, prior to or during the mediation in order to preserve the status quo and protect its interests during the process. If, after the earlier of: (i) sixty (60) days following the commencement of a mediation hereunder; or (ii) completion of the initial mediation session, the Parties have still not come to a resolution for any reason (including a failure to actually mediate), they shall seek to resolve the Dispute by binding arbitration or litigation as more fully set forth in Subsection (D), below. Until such time, neither binding arbitration nor litigation may be pursued by the parties.
