ARBITRATION




9.1.

Company and Employee each hereby irrevocably agree to submit any and all disputes between them arising under this Agreement to binding, non-appealable arbitration, to be conducted in accordance with this Section. The parties further agree irrevocably to submit themselves, in any suit to confirm the judgment or finding of such arbitrator, to the jurisdiction of the Superior Court for the State of Nevada, and hereby waive and agree not to assert (by way of motion, as a defense or otherwise) (a) any and all objections to jurisdiction that they may have under the laws of the State of Nevada or the United States, and (b) any claim (i) that it or [he/she] is not subject personally to jurisdiction of such court, (ii) that such forum is inconvenient, (iii) that venue is improper, or (iv) that this Agreement or its subject matter may not for any reason be arbitrated or enforced as provided in this Section 12.




9.2.

The aggrieved party shall, upon written notice to the other, submit any dispute or controversy respecting actual or alleged breach of, or interpretation of, or enforcement of, this Agreement to binding non-appealable arbitration before a retired judge of the Superior Court of the State of Nevada, to be conducted by means of a reference pursuant to the applicable sections of the Nevada Code of Civil Procedures. Within ten (10) business days after receipt of the notice submitting a dispute or controversy to arbitration, the parties shall attempt in good faith to agree upon an arbitrator to whom the dispute will be referred and on a joint statement of contentions. Failing agreement thereto within ten (10) business days after receipt of such notice, each party shall name three (3) retired judges and thereafter either party may file a petition seeking the appointment of one of the persons named by the party as a referee by the presiding Judge of the Superior Court, which petition shall recite in a clear and meaningful manner the factual basis of the controversy between the parties and the issues to be submitted to the referee for decision. Each party hereby agrees that service of process in such action will be deemed accomplished and completed when a copy of the documents is sent in accordance with the notice provisions hereof.

The referee shall establish the discovery schedule promptly following submission of the joint statement of contentions (or the filing of the answer to the petition) which schedule shall be strictly adhered to. To the extent the contentions of the parties relate to custom or practice in the Company’s business model, or the technical industry generally, or to accounting matters, the referee shall select an independent expert or accountant (as applicable) with substantial experience in the industry segment involved to provide recommendations to the referee. All decisions of the referee shall be in writing and shall not be subject to appeal. The referee shall make all rulings in accordance with Nevada law and shall have authority equal to that of a Superior Court judge, to grant equitable relief in an action pending in Superior Court in which all parties have appeared.
