Deadline (§ 2c), this contract shall then terminate. If Seller does not receive Buyer's notice by such date,

shall be obligated to repair the same before the Closing Date (§ 2c). In the event such damage is not

resolved, the parties shall first proceed in good faith to submit the matter to mediation. Mediation is a
process in which the parties meet with an impartial person who helps to resolve the dispute informally and
confidentially. Mediators cannot impose binding decisions. The parties to the dispute must agree before any
settlement is binding. The parties will jointly appoint an acceptable mediator and will share equally in the
