Dispute Resolution & Venue. 19.1 In the event of any dispute or controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the Parties agree to exercise good faith to resolve the dispute amicably and as soon as possible. In the event that the Parties fail to settle the dispute amicably within thirty (30) days, they shall submit the dispute to informal mediation, as further described below in this paragraph. The Parties shall continue to perform their respective obligations under this Agreement unless such performance would be objectively hindered due to the existing dispute. The Party invoking mediation shall inform the other Party with a written notice of its decision to seek informal mediation, and the notice must include a description of the subject to the dispute and a proposed resolution thereof. Designated representatives of both Parties shall attempt to resolve the dispute within five (5) working days starting from the day after the delivery of such notice to the other Party. If the designated representatives cannot resolve the dispute, the Parties shall meet at a mutually agreed location and discuss the dispute and their respective proposals for resolution while being represented by their responsible executives, who shall act in good faith to resolve the dispute.
