sentence (other than Company and Executive) shall be considered third-party
beneficiaries of the rights and obligations created by this Section on
Arbitration. Arbitral Claims shall include, but are not limited to, contract
(express of implied) and tort claims of all kinds, as well as all claims based

Claims shall include (to the fullest extent permitted by law) any claims arising

Employment and Housing Act, as well as any claims asserting wrongful

<PAGE>

      Procedure. Arbitration of Arbitral Claims shall be through Judicial
Arbitration and Mediation Service (JAMS), in Orange County, California, in
accordance with JAMS' rules and regulations then in effect. Arbitration shall be
final and binding upon the parties and shall be the exclusive remedy for all
Arbitral Claims. Either party may bring an action in court to compel arbitration
under this Agreement and to enforce an arbitration award. Otherwise, neither
party shall initiate or prosecute any lawsuit or administrative action in any
way related to any Arbitral Claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and only to
the extent allowed by law, either party may, at its option, seek injunctive
relief pursuant to section 1281.8 of the California Code of Civil Procedure. All
arbitration hearings under this Agreement shall be conducted in Orange County,
California. In any arbitration proceeding under this Agreement, the parties
shall have the same rights to discovery as would be available in a proceeding in
California Superior Court, as provided in section 1283.05 of the California Code
of Civil Procedure. The decision of the arbitrator shall be in writing and shall
include a statement of the essential conclusions and findings upon which the
decision is based. The interpretation and enforcement of this agreement to
arbitrate shall be governed by the California Arbitration Act.

THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE ANY RIGHTS THEY MAY HAVE TO TRIAL BY JURY IN REGARD TO
ARBITRABLE CLAIMS, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY AS TO
THE MAKING, EXISTENCE, VALIDITY, OR ENFORCEABILITY OF THE AGREEMENT TO
ARBITRATE.

             ------------------                 ---------------------

      11.2 Arbitrator Selection and Authority. All disputes involving Arbitral
Claims shall be decided by a single arbitrator. The arbitrator shall be selected
by mutual agreement of the parties within thirty (30) days of the effective date
of the notice initiating the arbitration. If the parties cannot agree on an
arbitrator, then the complaining party shall notify JAMS and request selection
of an arbitrator in accordance with JAMS' rules. The arbitrator shall have only
such authority to award equitable relief, damages, costs and fees as a court
would have for the particular claim(s) asserted. The fees of the arbitrator
shall be paid equally by the parties. The parties shall each be responsible for
whatever costs they would have otherwise incurred had their claims been filed in
court. If the allocation of responsibility for payment of the arbitrator's fees
would render the obligation to arbitrate unenforceable, the parties authorize
the arbitrator to modify the allocation as necessary to preserve enforceability.
The arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to resolve all Arbitral Claims,
including, but not limited to, whether any particular claim is arbitral and
whether all or any part of this Agreement is void or unenforceable.

Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its reasonable
legal fees and costs.

      11.5 Severable Provisions. The provisions of this Agreement are severable,
and if any provision shall be determined to be unenforceable, in whole or in
part, the remaining provisions shall nevertheless be binding and enforceable.

      11.6 Non-Waiver. The failure of either party to insist on strict
compliance with any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement by the other
party shall not be deemed a waiver of that term or condition, nor shall any
waiver or relinquishment of any right or power at any one time or times be
deemed a waiver or relinquishment of that right or power for all or any other
times. 11.7 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and those documents expressly
referred to herein embody the complete agreement and understanding among the
parties and supersede and preempt any prior understandings, agreements or
representations by or among the parties, written or oral, which may have related
to the subject matter hereof in any way.

      11.8 Controlling Law. This Agreement shall be construed and interpreted in
accordance with California law.

      11.9 Amendment. This Agreement shall not be amended, released, discharged,
changed or modified in any manner, except by an instrument signed by the
parties.

      11.10 Photocopies and Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and together shall
constitute one complete instrument. Photocopies and facsimiles of such signed
counterparts may be used in lieu of the originals for any purpose.
