JSC Deadlocks Clause Samples

The JSC Deadlocks clause defines the procedures to follow when the Joint Steering Committee (JSC) reaches an impasse and cannot make a required decision. Typically, this clause outlines escalation steps, such as referring the matter to higher-level executives or an independent third party for resolution. Its core function is to ensure that project progress is not indefinitely stalled by disagreements within the JSC, thereby providing a clear mechanism to resolve deadlocks and maintain momentum.
JSC Deadlocks. If a deadlock arises between the members of the JSC, a non-JSC-member officer of each party shall be advised of the deadlock in writing and shall attempt to provide the JSC with a mutually agreed upon resolution within one (1) month. If such resolution is not timely provided, the Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") of each Party shall be advised of the deadlock in writing and the deadlock shall be resolved by mutual agreement of the Parties' CEOs within one (1) month after they have been so advised. If the CEOs do not agree on a resolution, [ * ] regarding any deadlock concerning target selection (i.e., whether a Target meets the Antibody Target Candidate or Antibody Target criteria) and all other deadlocks shall be submitted to and resolved by binding arbitration pursuant to the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (the "AAA Rules"). In any event, each Party shall submit a briefing document detailing its position in the deadlock not to exceed 25 double-spaced 8.5"x11" pages within 10 business days of the selection of the arbitrator, and the arbitrator shall be instructed to make such determination within 30 days of submission of both position papers, but in any event not later than 40 days following submission of the matter to arbitration. The arbitration shall be held in San Francisco, California and shall be conducted by one arbitrator who is knowledgeable in the subject matter at issue and who is selected by mutual agreement of the Parties or, failing such agreement, shall be selected according to the AAA Rules. In conducting the arbitration, the arbitrator shall apply the California Rules of Evidence, and shall be able to decree any and all relief of an equitable nature, including without limitation such relief as a temporary restraining order, a preliminary injunction, a permanent injunction, and specific performance. Each Party shall bear its respective costs and expenses and the fees of the arbitrator shall be shared equally.
