STIPULATION RE LIMITED DISCOVERY; MEDIATION; AND NONWAIVER OF DEFENDANT'S LEGAL

RIGHT TO FURTHER COMPEL BINDING ARBITRATION

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED, by and between Plaintiff DEMETRIUS MANCE ("Plaintiff") and Defendant MERCEDES-BENZ USA, LLC ("MBUSA"), by and through their respective counsel, that:

1. In furtherance of the court's October 24, 2011 order following the hearing on Defendant MBUSA's motion to compel arbitration and referring case to mediation, the parties agree to participate in court-sponsored mediation. Mediation is to be completed by no later than January 24, 2012;

2. The parties agree to take a limited amount of discovery to make the mediation session useful. In this regard, MBUSA will depose Plaintiff and inspect the subject vehicle with its technical inspector;

3. Even though the parties will engage in limited discovery and participate in the court-sponsored mediation session, MBUSA would not waive its right to move to compel Plaintiff to arbitrate his claims pursuant to the arbitration clause in the Retail Installment Sale Contract at a later date after the mediation is completed; equally, Plaintiff does not waive his right to oppose Defendant's motion to compel arbitration.
