The

(whether in connection with this Agreement or otherwise) in any jurisdiction

parties to be England.
26.2

26.3
With

26.1 and 26.2, the following procedures in this Clause 26.3 to 26.5 shall

person or communicate by telephone within 5 Business Days of the date of the
written notification in order to reach an agreement about the nature of the
deficiency and the corrective action to be taken by the respective Parties. The representatives shall produce a report
about the nature of the dispute in detail to their respective boards and if no
agreement is reached on corrective action, then the chief executives of each Party
shall meet in person or communicate by telephone, to facilitate an agreement
within 10 Business Days of a written notice by one to the other. If the dispute cannot be resolved at board
level within a further 5 Business Days, or if the agreed upon completion dates
in any written plan of corrective action are exceeded, either Party may seek
its legal remedies as provided below.
26.4
If
the Parties cannot resolve a dispute in accordance with the procedure in sub-Clause
26.3, then they shall with the assistance of the Centre for Effective Dispute
Resolution (“CEDR”), seek to resolve the dispute or difference amicably by
using an Alternative Dispute Resolution (“ADR”) procedure acceptable to both Parties
before pursuing any other remedies available to them. If either Party fails or refuses to agree to
or participate in the ADR procedure or if in any event the dispute or
difference is not resolved to the satisfaction of both Parties within 10 Business
Days after it has arisen, the matter shall be settled in accordance with the
procedure below.
26.5
If
the Parties cannot resolve the dispute by the procedure set out above, the Parties
shall irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England
and Wales for the purposes of hearing and determining any dispute arising out
of this Agreement as confirmed under Clause 27.
27.

This
Agreement (including any non-contractual matters and obligations arising
