SECTION 13 Dispute Resolution Claims, disputes, or other matters in controversy ( a “Dispute ”) arising out of or related to the Agreement or the Project shall be subject to informal dispute resolution and mediation as a condition precedent to any and all remedies at law or in equity. If during the term of this Agreement a Dispute arises concerning the Project or this Agreement, the Dispute shall initially be submitted to Customer’s project representative and Ameresco’s project manager for resolution by mutual agreement between the Parties. Any mutual determination by Customer’s project representative and Ameresco’s project manager will be final and binding upon the Parties. However, should Customer representative and Ameresco’s project manager fail to arrive at a mutual decision as to the Dispute within ten (10) business days after notice to both individuals of such Dispute, such Dispute will be submitted to a representative from management of both Parties who shall meet in person or by phone within ten (10) business days after either Party gives the other Party written notice of the Dispute (the “Dispute Notice ”). The Dispute Notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the aggrieved Party’s position and its proposal for resolution of the Dispute. If the Dispute is not resolved within thirty (30) calendar days after the first meeting of the Parties, then the Parties shall endeavor to resolve the Dispute by mediation. A request for mediation shall be made in writing and delivered to the other Party. The request may be made concurrently with the filing of any and all remedies at law or in equity but, in such event, mediation shall proceed in advance of any proceedings filed in a judicial forum, which shall be stayed pending mediation for a period of sixty (60) days from the date of filing, unless stayed for a longer period of time by agreement of the Parties or court order. The Parties shall share the fees of the mediation equally. The mediation shall be held in the place where the Project is located, unless another location is mutually agreed upon. Agreements reached in mediation shall be enforceable as settlement agreements in any court having jurisdiction thereof. If the Parties do not resolve the Dispute through informal dispute resolution or mediation, either Party is free to pursue any other available remedy in law or at equity.
