12.1 Any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of the Agreement or the interpretation thereof (a “Dispute”) shall be resolved as provided in this Section. Prior to the initiation of formal dispute resolution procedures, the Parties shall first meet as often, and for such duration and as promptly as the Parties reasonably deem necessary to discuss the Dispute and negotiate in good faith in an effort to resolve the Dispute. If Customer and Apptino are unable to resolve the Dispute within thirty (30) days after the referral of the Dispute to them, then each Party will appoint one (1) senior executive who is not involved on a day-to-day basis with the subject matter of the Agreement and will negotiate the matter in good faith in an effort to resolve the Dispute without the necessity of any formal proceedings.

12.2 Formal proceedings for the resolution of a Dispute may not be commenced until the earlier of: (i) the good faith determination by the appointed senior executives that amicable resolution through continued negotiation of the matter does not appear likely; or (ii) thirty (30) days following the date that the Dispute was first referred to the appointed senior executives. The provisions of paragraphs (i) and (ii) will not be construed to prevent a Party from instituting formal proceedings to the extent necessary to avoid the expiration of any applicable limitations period or to pursue equitable rights or injunctive remedies deemed reasonably necessary to protect its interests.
