Dispute Resolution and Applicable Law. 15.1 All disputes, differences or questions arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or its SCHEDULES, or related to the alleged breach, termination, validity, interpretation or violation thereof, shall be submitted to the MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE for resolution, which shall convene, whether in person or otherwise, to resolve such dispute in a timely manner. Either Party may initiate a resolution procedure by providing written notice (“Dispute Notice”) to the other Party, and any such Dispute Notice must set forth the subject matter of the dispute, difference or question. If after sixty (60) days the dispute remains unresolved, the Chief Scientific Officer of CERES and the Director of IGER shall seek to resolve the dispute through negotiation. The Parties agree that at least eight (8) cumulative hours of negotiations will be undertaken. If the dispute still remains unresolved ninety (90) days after the Dispute Notice, either Party may initiate proceedings pursuant to Article 15.2.
