Does the Moes Southwest Grill franchisee need the franchisor's consent to settle a claim?

This Agreement shall at all times be governed by the laws of the State of Georgia. Should there be a dispute between Company and Customer relating in any way to the Agreement, the breach of the Agreement, or the business relationship of the parties, the parties agree that they will make a good faith effort to settle the dispute in an amicable manner. If the parties are unable to settle the dispute through direct discussions, at that time they will attempt to settle the dispute by mediation administered by the American Arbitration Association (the "AAA"). If the parties do not agree to pursue mediation or if that procedure is unsuccessful, the dispute will be resolved by binding arbitration administered by AAA in accordance with its Commercial Arbitration Rules using a single arbitrator, at a location selected by AAA based on the convenience of the parties and the location of potential witnesses. The arbitrator shall have the authority to award specific performance and any other appropriate remedies including interim injunctive relief to maintain the status quo pending the conclusion of arbitration. The prevailing party shall also be entitled to recover its reasonable attorneys' fees and other costs and expenses of litigation. A judgment on the award of the arbitrator may be entered in any court with jurisdiction. The foregoing will not preclude any party from bringing an action for injunction in a court of competent jurisdiction for breach of the other party's confidentiality obligations.
