Extract to table

The practical consequence of this supermajority requirement is that CSIA's three board members cannot unilaterally authorize any Major Decision — at least one Pinnacle-appointed member must concur

The parties must first submit any dispute to non-binding mediation before a mediator mutually selected by the parties

All such disputes must be resolved exclusively through the mediation-arbitration process

This means that CSIA cannot bring suit against Pinnacle in Washington state court or federal court for breach of the JV Agreement; it must proceed through the PNAA

We note, however, that before filing the demand, CSIA must satisfy the mandatory mediation prerequisite by initiating and engaging in a good-faith mediation effort
