(a) A Dispute shall be deemed to have arisen upon the delivery of a written notice by one party to the other describing the Dispute (hereinafter called the “Dispute Notice”). Upon delivery of the Dispute Notice, the parties agree to attempt to resolve the Dispute in a prompt and expeditious manner. Except for the Dispute Notice, all communications between the parties shall be on a without prejudice basis.

(b) If the parties have not been able to resolve the Dispute within ten (10) calendar days after delivery of the Dispute Notice, either party may at any time thereafter request by written notice to the other party that the Dispute be escalated to Senior Management.

(c) In the event such a written request is made, each party shall make available the senior executives specified in the following subparagraph (“Senior Management”) who shall meet within ten (10) calendar days after such request is made at the offices of the party which received the request to attempt to resolve the Dispute.
