actual contact with certain technology and/or source code, and should you be a citizen of an
embargoed country under United States export control laws, this may have a material effect on
the terms and conditions of your employment with the Company.

controversy or claim arising out of, or relating to, this Agreement or any breach hereof,

court having jurisdiction over the parties. Such arbitration shall be conducted through the
American Arbitration Association in the State of California, Santa Clara County, before a
single arbitrator, in accordance with the National Rules for the Resolution of Employment
Disputes of the American Arbitration Association in effect at that time. The arbitrator must
decide all disputes in accordance with California law and shall have power to decide all
matters, including arbitrability. You will bear only those costs of arbitration you would
otherwise bear had you brought a covered claim in court. When the arbitrator has issued a
decision, judgment on that decision may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.
