If a dispute resolution proceeding has been commenced under clause 12 of the 2009 agreement prior to the commencement of this Agreement and the subject matter of that dispute relates to the operation of a provision or provisions under the 2009 agreement that have continued under this Agreement, such dispute will continue to resolution or completion in accordance with the provisions of clause 12 of the 2009 agreement.
