shall be resolved exclusively by arbitration in King County, Washington. Arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the then-prevailing arbitration rules of Judicial Dispute Resolution (“JDR”), with one arbitrator appointed by
the mutual consent of the parties or, in the absence of such consent, by application of any party to JDR. The parties agree to abide by all decisions and awards rendered in such proceedings. Such decisions and awards rendered by the
arbitrator shall be final and conclusive and may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof as a basis of judgment and of the issuance of execution for its collection. All such controversies, claims or disputes shall be settled in this
manner in lieu of any action at law or equity; provided, however, that nothing in this section shall be construed as precluding the Company from bringing an action for injunctive relief or other equitable relief.

 (e) Severability. In the event that any provision hereof becomes or is declared by a court
of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, unenforceable or void, said provision may be modified by the court to the extent necessary to render it enforceable and the remainder of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect. 
 (f) Effective Date. This Agreement is effective after it has been signed by both parties and when eight (8) days have passed since
Employee has signed the Agreement, unless revoked by Employee within seven (7) days after the date the Agreement was signed by Employee.
