5.7.2.4The Company shall not be entitled to end the dispute which is the subject matter of the Legal Proceeding by way of arbitration, compromise or mediation, unless it first obtains your written consent, provided that you will only refuse to give such consent for reasonable reasons that will be delivered to the Company in writing.
