How can the Kitchen Solvers mediation procedure be concluded?

• a. Initiation Procedure. The party seeking mediation (the "Initiating Party") must commence mediation by sending the other party/parties a written notice of its request for mediation (the "Dispute Notice"). The Dispute Notice will specify, to the fullest extent possible, the nature of the dispute, the Initiating Party's version of the facts surrounding the dispute, the amount of damages, and the nature of any injunctive or other relief such party claims, and must identify one or more persons with authority to settle the dispute for the Initiating Party.
• b. Direct Negotiations. Upon receipt of a Dispute Notice, the parties will endeavor, in good faith, to resolve the dispute outlined in the Dispute Notice. If the parties have been unable to resolve any such dispute(s) outlined in a Dispute Notice within twenty (20) days after the issuance of the Dispute Notice, either party may initiate a mediation procedure in accordance with the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"), pursuant to its Commercial Mediation Procedures, and unless otherwise agreed by the parties will take place in the city and state in which our then-current headquarters are located, currently, La Crosse, Wisconsin.
• c. Selection of the Mediator. If the parties cannot mutually agree upon a mediator, the parties shall submit to one another written lists of acceptable mediators who are not associated with either of the parties. Each party must rank all the mediators in numerical order of preference and exchange the rankings. If one or more names are on both lists, the highest ranking one of these will be designated the mediator.
• d. Time and Place for Mediation. In consultation with the parties, the mediator shall promptly designate a mutually acceptable time and place (located in the city and state in which our then-current headquarters are located, currently La Crosse, Wisconsin) for the mediation. Unless the circumstances make it impossible, the time may not be later than thirty (30) days after the selection of the mediator.
• e. Exchange of Information. If either party to this Agreement believes he, she, or it needs information in the possession of another party to this Agreement to prepare for the mediation, all parties must attempt in good faith to agree on procedures for an exchange of information, with the help of the mediator if required.
• f. Summary of Views. At least seven (7) days before the first scheduled mediation session, each party must deliver to the mediator and to the other party a concise
