The Parties shall commence the first mediation session within forty-five (45) calendar days of the conclusion of the time frame for good faith negotiations, including any extensions (as stated above). The Parties agree to share equally the costs and expenses of the mediation (which shall not include the expenses incurred by each party for its own legal representation in connection with the mediation). The Parties agree that any mediated settlement agreement may be converted to a judgment and enforced according to the governing rules of civil procedure. The Parties further confirm their motivating purpose in selecting mediation is to find a solution that serves their respective and mutual interests, including their continuing business/professional relationship. The Parties further agree that their respective good faith participation in mediation is a condition precedent to pursuing any other available legal or equitable remedy, including litigation, arbitration or other dispute resolution procedures.
    3. The Parties further acknowledge and agree that mediation proceedings are settlement negotiations, and that, to the extent allowed by applicable law, all offers, promises, conduct and statements, whether oral or written, made in the course of the mediation by any of the parties or their agents shall be confidential and inadmissible in any arbitration or other legal proceeding involving the Parties; provided, however, that evidence which is otherwise admissible or discoverable shall not be rendered inadmissible or non-discoverable as a result of its use in the mediation. The provisions of this section may be enforced by any court of competent jurisdiction, and the party seeking enforcement shall be entitled to an award of all costs, fees and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and all travel expenses, to be paid by the party against whom enforcement is ordered.

Under such circumstances, all deadlines shall be equitably adjusted, or the parties may mutually agree to terminate this Agreement. Further, no Party to this Agreement shall be deemed liable for damages to any other Party for harm resulting from any such circumstances.
    2. Severability. Any portion of this Agreement found to be in conflict with applicable law or otherwise unenforceable shall be deemed severed, and the balance of the Agreement shall be unaffected.
