If such efforts are not successful, the Parties shall then try in good faith to settle such controversy or claim by mediation administered by the American Arbitration Association under its then current Commercial Mediation Rules (www.adr.org) before resorting to arbitration, litigation, or any other dispute resolution procedure.
