Early Resolution Conference This Agreement is understood to be clear and enforceable as written and is executed by both parties on that basis. However, should Executive later challenge any provision as unclear, unenforceable or inapplicable to any competitive activity that Executive intends to engage in, Executive will first notify the Company in writing and meet with a Company representative and a neutral mediator (if the Company elects to retain one at its expense) to discuss resolution of any disputes between the parties. Executive will provide this notification at least fourteen (14) days before Executive engages in any activity on behalf of a Competing Business or engages in other activity that could foreseeably fall within a questioned restriction. The failure to comply with this requirement shall waive Executive’s right to challenge the reasonable scope, clarity, applicability, or enforceability of the Agreement and its restrictions at a later time. All rights of both parties will be preserved if the Early Resolution Conference requirement is complied with even if no agreement is reached in the conference.
Meetings Meetings of the Trustees shall be held from time to time upon the call of the Chairman, if any, or the President or any two Trustees.

Notice of any other meeting shall be given by the Secretary and shall be delivered to the Trustees orally not less than 24 hours, or in writing not less than 72 hours, before the meeting, but may be waived in writing by any Trustee either before or after such meeting. The attendance of a Trustee at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting except where a Trustee attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of any business on the ground that the meeting has not been properly called or convened. Any time there is more than one Trustee, a quorum for all meetings of the Trustees shall be one-third, but not less than two, of the Trustees. Unless provided otherwise in this Declaration and except as required under the 1940 Act, any action of the Trustees may be taken at a meeting by vote of a majority of the Trustees present (a quorum being present) or without a meeting by written consent of a majority of the Trustees. Any committee of the Trustees, including an executive committee, if any, may act with or without a meeting. A quorum for all meetings of any such committee shall be one-third, but not less than two, of the members thereof. Unless provided otherwise in this Declaration, any action of any such committee may be taken at a meeting by vote of a majority of the members present (a quorum being present) or without a meeting by written consent of all of the members. With respect to actions of the Trustees and any committee of the Trustees, Trustees who are Interested Persons in any action to be taken may be counted for quorum purposes under this Section and shall be entitled to vote to the extent not prohibited by the 1940 Act. All or any one or more Trustees may participate in a meeting of the Trustees or any committee thereof by means of a conference telephone or similar communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other; participation in a meeting pursuant to any such communications system shall constitute presence in person at such meeting.

JSC Meetings The JSC will meet at least [**], or more or less frequently as mutually agreed by the Parties, at such times as may be agreed to by the Parties. The JSC will determine its meeting locations, and whether to conduct a meeting in-person, by teleconference, or videoconference. Each Party is responsible for all costs and expenses incurred by it in connection with its participation in the meetings of the JSC. Each Party shall have the right to call a special meeting of the JSC at any time as necessary or desirable to address disputes or other matters within the scope of the JSC’s responsibilities by providing the other Parties with written notice to that effect. The JSC Chairs shall schedule and convene such special JSC meeting as soon as practicable following such notice. Each Party may, from time-to-time and with prior written notice to the JSC members of the other Parties, invite Project Team members and/or others of its employees, consultants or agents to attend relevant portions of a JSC meeting as necessary. The Sponsoring Party shall notify the other Parties in writing in the event that it wishes to invite a Third Party to attend a JSC meeting. Any such notice shall be provided at least [**] business days prior to the relevant JSC meeting and shall identify the relevant Third Party and briefly describe the reasons that the Sponsoring Party wishes to include the Third Party in the meeting. The attendance and participation of such Third Party shall be subject to the prior written consent of the Parties receiving such notice (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld). Any such consent granted by a Party shall be conditioned upon the consultant or contractor being bound by a written confidentiality and non-use agreement that is reasonably acceptable to the consenting Party. In the event the Sponsoring Party requires the attendance of such Third Party at subsequent JSC meetings, approval shall not be required for any Third Party who was previously approved by the other Parties and remains bound by an appropriate written confidentiality and non-use agreement at the time of the Project Team meeting, provided that the Sponsoring Party gives the other Parties prior notice of such attendance and the other Parties do not revoke their consent. The Parties’ respective JSC Chairs (as defined below) shall be responsible for ensuring compliance with the foregoing.
