of us.
If it proves impossible
to arrive at a mutually satisfactory solution through mediation, we agree to
submit the dispute to binding arbitration in Michigan under the rules of
the American Arbitration Association. Judgment upon the award rendered by the
arbitration may be entered in any court with jurisdiction to do so.
If any provision of this
agreement is void or unenforceable in whole or in part, the remaining
provisions of this Agreement shall not be affected thereby.
