Dispute Resolution


9.1 Agreement to Use Procedure. The Parties agree that any dispute between them relating to or arising out of this

Agreement (the "Dispute"), will be resolved using only the procedures specified in this Article (the "Procedure").


9.2 Initiation of Procedure. A Party who desires to initiate the Procedure (the "Initiating Party") shall give written

notice to the other Parties, describing, in general terms, the nature of the Dispute and the Initiating Party's proposal to

resolve the Dispute. The Parties receiving such notice (the "Responding Party," whether one or more) shall have five

(5) business days to respond (the "Response") to the Initiating Party's proposal. If, within ten (10) business days of

the Response, the Parties have been unable to resolve the dispute, the Parties shall resolve the dispute pursuant to the

following provisions.


9.3 Mediation. If the Parties are unable to resolve the Dispute within ten (10) business days of the Response, the

Parties shall submit the dispute to non-binding mediation. The Parties shall mutually agree to the selection of a

qualified, neutral mediator no later than fifteen (15) business days following the date of the Response. The Parties

will use their best efforts to mediate the dispute within forty-five (45) days following the date of the Response.


9.4 Arbitration. If the Parties are unable to resolve the Dispute through mediation, the Dispute shall be resolved

through binding arbitration in accordance with this paragraph. No later than fifteen (15) days following the date of

mediation, the Parties shall submit the Dispute to the Denver, Colorado office of the American Arbitration

Association ("AAA") for binding arbitration. Arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the then-existing

rules for commercial arbitration established by the AAA, to the extent that such rules do not conflict with this

Agreement. Any decision or award by the arbitrator(s) shall be binding upon the Parties. Judgment upon an award

may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. All arbitration fees and expenses shall be shared equally by the

disputing Parties, unless the arbitrator determines that circumstances require otherwise.


9.5 Confidentiality. The entire arbitration process, including any stenographic, video, or audio record, shall be kept

confidential. All conduct, statements, promises, offers, views, and opinions, whether oral or written, made during the

course of the arbitration by a Disputing Party, its agents, employees, representatives, or other attendees and by the

arbitrator shall remain confidential and shall, where appropriate, be deemed privileged. Such conduct, statements,

promises, offers, views, and opinions shall not be discoverable or admissible for any purpose, including

impeachment, in any litigation or other proceeding involving the parties

10.7 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, such provision

shall be fully severable, and this Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or

unenforceable provision were never a part hereof; the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full

force and effect and shall not be affected by the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision or by its severance; and in

lieu of such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision, there shall be added automatically as part of this Agreement,

disclosure or is required by order of any court or by law or by any regulatory agency to which any Party is subject or

Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof.


10.11 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be

an original but all of which shall together constitute one and the same Agreement.
