The parties agree that in the event of any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement that they are unable to resolve through direct discussions in a good faith effort to reach a resolution, the parties will first engage the services of a reputable mediator agreed upon by their respective counsel, will engage in the mediation process in a good faith effort to resolve disputes in a mutually satisfactory manner, and will divide the costs of mediation equally between them. If the parties cannot reach a mutually acceptable agreement in mediation, the dispute shall be resolved by binding arbitration in accordance with the commercial arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association (AAA), before one Arbitrator, who need not be chosen from the roster of the AAA. Any such controversy or claim shall be arbitrated on an individual basis, and shall not be consolidated in any arbitration with any claim or controversy of any other party and the parties will divide the costs of arbitration equally between them. The arbitration shall be conducted in Essex County, New Jersey, and judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Either party may attend mediation and arbitration via telephone or videoconference. The award of the arbitrator shall be final and binding upon the parties without appeal or review except as permitted by the Federal Arbitration Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either Party may seek any interim or preliminary injunctive relief in the Federal District Court of New Jersey, as necessary to protect the party’s rights or property pending the completion of arbitration. In the event of any action or proceeding (excepting mediation) brought by either party against the other under this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its actual attorneys’ fees and costs incurred in connection with the action or proceeding.
