Negotiations and Escalation. Each party shall use commercially reasonable efforts expeditiously to resolve any Disputed Matter which arises from time to time between it and any of the other parties on a mutually acceptable negotiated basis. In connection therewith, any party involved in a Disputed Matter may deliver a notice to each of the other parties (an "Escalation Notice") demanding an in-person meeting of the senior level management representatives of the parties involved (and providing, as a courtesy, notice to the parties not involved). Any agenda, location or procedures for such discussions or negotiations may be established by the parties to the Disputed Matter, but such parties shall, in any event, meet within 10 days after the delivery of the Escalation Notice. The parties to a Disputed Matter may, if they mutually so desire, retain a mutually agreed upon mediator to assist in resolution of the Disputed Matter, but (i) all statements and opinions of such mediator shall be only advisory and shall be inadmissible in any subsequent proceedings between the parties concerning the Disputed Matter, (ii) the parties thereto shall bear the costs of any such mediation equally (but each party to the mediation shall be responsible for its own expenses) and (iii) mediation is not a prerequisite to arbitration. If the parties to the Disputed Matter are unable to resolve it by the earlier of (i) 30 days after the delivery of the Escalation Notice or (ii) the conclusion of the meeting held pursuant to the applicable Escalation Notice, then any party thereto may institute arbitration, as provided below, concerning the Disputed Matter.
