Text:
To ensure the rapid and economical resolution of disputes that may arise in connection with CFO s employment with the Company, CFO and the Company agree that any and all disputes, claims, or causes of action, in law or equity, arising from or relating to CFO s employment, or the termination of that employment, will be resolved, to the fullest extent permitted by law, by final, binding and confidential arbitration pursuant to both the substantive and procedural provisions of the Federal Arbitration Act in San Diego, California conducted by the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services/Endispute, Inc. (JAMS), or its successors, under the then current rules of JAMS for employment disputes; provided that the arbitrator shall: (a)have the authority to compel adequate discovery for the resolution of the dispute and to award such relief as would otherwise be permitted by law; and (b)issue a written arbitration decision including the arbitrators essential findings and conclusions and a statement of the award. Accordingly, CFO and the Company hereby waive any right to a jury trial. Both CFO and the Company shall be entitled to all rights and remedies that either CFO or the Company would be entitled to pursue in a court of law. The Company shall pay any JAMS filing fee and shall pay the arbitrators fee. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to prevent either CFO or the Company from obtaining injunctive relief in court to prevent irreparable harm pending the conclusion of any such arbitration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, CFO and the Company each have the right to resolve any issue or dispute involving confidential, proprietary or trade secret information, or intellectual property rights, by Court action instead of arbitration.
