The Parties agree to limit live testimony and cross-examination to the extent necessary to ensure a fair hearing on material issues.

The mediation process shall be administered by a mutually acceptable mediator selected in accordance with the Commercial Mediation Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”).
