    2.          Section 2.8 shall be deleted in its entirety, and replaced with the following:

     

    2.8          JDC Dispute Resolution.  The representatives of the JDC shall attempt in good faith to reach consensus on all matters properly brought before the JDC. If, after a good faith reasonable, and open discussion among the members of the JDC, and

    2.9          Joint Steering Committee.

          or permanent basis, any or all of its JSC representatives by providing written notice to the other Party; provided that any such replacement member shall have the appropriate seniority and expertise to serve as a member of the JSC.
