employees of the Company), arising from the consulting relationship between
Consultant and Company, whether in tort, contract, or pursuant to a statute,
regulation, or ordinance now in existence or which may in the future be enacted
or amended or recognized at common law. The parties understand and agree that
arbitration shall be the sole and exclusive method of resolving any and all
existing and future claims, subject to this Agreement, that arise out of
Consultant’s retention by the Company or the termination of their relationship,
except that (i) Consultant shall not be precluded from filing an administrative
charge or complaint with, or from participating in, an administrative

applicable law setting forth the standard of judicial review of arbitration
awards.

Agreement shall be instead of a trial before a court or jury and that they are

regarding any claims subject to this Agreement that either now has against the
other or that either may in the future have against the other.
9. General Provisions.
