expire between the initiation of a mediation and its conclusion shall be extended until twenty (20) days after the conclusion of the mediation.  In no event will mediation delay commencement of the arbitration for more than forty-five (45) days absent agreement of the Parties or interfere with the availability of emergency or equitable relief.
 
(b) Any Dispute that cannot be resolved by mediation within forty-five (45) days of notice by one Party to the other of the existence of a Dispute (unless the Parties agree in writing to extend that period) shall be resolved by arbitration in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the AAA (“AAA Rules”; see www.adr.org) and the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §1 et seq.  The arbitration shall be conducted in New York City, New York, by one arbitrator appointed in accordance with the AAA Rules.
 
(c) The arbitrator shall follow the ICDR Guidelines for Arbitrators Concerning Exchanges of Information in managing and ruling on requests for discovery.  The arbitrator, by accepting appointment, undertakes to exert her or his best efforts to conduct the process so as to issue an award within eight (8) months of her or his appointment, but failure to meet that timetable shall not affect the validity of the award.
 
(d) The arbitrator shall decide the Dispute in accordance with the substantive law of New York.  The award of the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
 
SECTION 10.13. Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, and together shall constitute one and the same agreement and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the Parties and delivered to the other Party, it being understood that both Parties need not sign the same counterpart.
