a similar or different character.

to both parties, reading no provisions more strictly against one party or the other. Whenever a term defined by the
Uniform Commercial Code, as enacted by the State of Texas, is used in the Contract, the UCC definition shall
control, unless otherwise defined in the Contract.
49. DISPUTE RESOLUTION:
A. If a dispute arises out of or relates to the Contract, or the breach thereof, the parties agree to negotiate prior to
prosecuting a suit for damages. However, this section does not prohibit the fling of a lawsuit to toll the running of a
statute of limitations or to seek injunctive relief. Either party may make a written request for a meeting between
representatives of each party within fourteen (14) calendar days after receipt of the request or such later period as
agreed by the parties. Each party shall include, at a minimum, one (1) senior level individual with decision- making
authority regarding the dispute. The purpose of this and any subsequent meeting is to attempt in good faith to
negotiate a resolution of the dispute. If, within thirty (30) calendar days after such meeting, the parties have not
succeeded in negotiating a resolution of the dispute, they will proceed directly to mediation as described below.
Negotiation may be waived by a written agreement signed by both parties, in which event the parties may proceed
directly to mediation as described below.
B. If the efforts to resolve the dispute through negotiation fail, or the parties waive the negotiation process, the
parties may select, within thirty (30) calendar days, a mediator trained in mediation skills to assist with resolution of
the dispute. Should they choose this option; the City and the Supplier agree to act in good faith in the selection of the
mediator and to give consideration to qualified individuals nominated to act as mediator. Nothing in the Contract
prevents the parties from relying on the skills of a person who is trained in the subject matter of the dispute or a
contract interpretation expert. If the parties fail to agree on a mediator within thirty (30) calendar days of initiation
of the mediation process, the mediator shall be selected by the Denton County Alternative Dispute Resolution
Program (DCAP). The parties agree to participate in mediation in good faith for up to thirty (30) calendar days from
the date of the first mediation session. The City and the Supplier will share the mediator's fees equally and the
parties will bear their own costs of participation such as fees for any consultants or attorneys they may utilize to
represent them or otherwise assist them in the mediation.

Texas, including, when applicable, the Uniform Commercial Code as adopted in Texas, V.T.C.A., Bus. & Comm.
Code, Chapter 1, excluding any rule or principle that would refer to and apply the substantive law of another state or
jurisdiction. All issues arising from this Contract shall be resolved in the courts of Denton County, Texas and the
parties agree to submit to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of such courts. The foregoing, however, shall not be
construed or interpreted to limit or restrict the right or ability of the City to seek and secure injunctive relief from
any competent authority as contemplated herein.
51. INVALIDITY: The invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability of any provision of the Contract shall in no way
affect the validity or enforceability of any other portion or provision of the Contract. Any void provision shall be
deemed severed from the Contract and the balance of the Contract shall be construed and enforced as if the Contract
did not contain the particular portion or provision held to be void. The parties further agree to reform the Contract to
replace any stricken provision with a valid provision that comes as close as possible to the intent of the stricken
