| 21.10 | Delay in exercising, or failure to exercise, any right or remedy in connection with this Agreement and/or a SOW shall not operate as a waiver of that right or remedy. The waiver of a right to require compliance with any provision of this Agreement and/or a SOW in any instance shall not operate as a waiver of any further exercise or enforcement of that right and the waiver of any breach shall not operate as a waiver of any subsequent breach. |

| 22.3 | Where either Party reasonably believes that a dispute relates to a material breach or potential breach of this Agreement, that Party shall notify its and the other Party’s account managers and each Party shall then refer the dispute directly to their Chief Executive Officers and the provisions of Clause 22.2 shall apply. |
23 | Arbitration |
| 23.1 | Any dispute that cannot be settled amicably shall be resolved by arbitration before a sole arbitrator, which shall be the exclusive method of dispute resolution under this Agreement and/or any SOW. Such arbitration shall be held in New York City, New York, USA, and in accordance with the ICC Rules of Arbitration. Nothing herein shall, however, prohibit a Party from seeking temporary or preliminary injunctive relief in a court of competent jurisdiction.
