25- 15966623.1 e) The Agencies may exchange services without payment of any consideration other than such services; or an Agency may agree to provide all or any portion of such services to another Agency. f) The Commission may provide for the repayment or return to an Agency of all or any part of any contributions, payments, or advances made by that Agency. Section 19. Dispute Resolution In the event of any dispute, the parties will promptly meet and confer, first at a staff level and then elevated to a meeting of Commissioners, in a good faith attempt to resolve the dispute. In connection with such negotiations, the party asserting the dispute must provide the other with a written description of the nature of the dispute, along with reasonable supporting documentation. If a dispute cannot be resolved by the parties independently, they may agree to submit such dispute to non-binding mediation by a mutually agreed-upon neutral third party with offices in the San Francisco Bay Area. The cost of mediation will be shared equally. In the alternative, a party may choose to resolve questions or disputes arising under this Agreement through arbitration or judicial determination. Section 20. Termination; Expiration; Disposition of Assets The Agencies agree to the following procedures for the disposition of the Authority's assets and obligations. Unless terminated sooner pursuant to this Section 20, this Agreement will expire at the end of the current Term. In the event of such expiration or earlier termination, the Agencies will dispose of the Authority's assets and obligations as set out below and authorized by law. In the alternative, at the end of the Term, the Agencies may choose to waive this provision and select a different method for disposition of assets and obligations, provided such agreement is in writing and adopted in accordance with the Amendments procedures in Section 21. No Agency may withdraw from the Authority prior to the end of the Term.
