89Terms
I understand and agree that, in the event there is any dispute or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the release of claims set forth in Paragraph 1 of this Agreement (the “Release”), my employment by the Company, my promises or duties owed to the Company or the Company’s promises or duties owed to me, including, without limitation, a dispute about the validity, enforceability, or coverage of the Release or the assertion of a claim covered by the Release, all such disputes or claims will be resolved exclusively through a final and binding arbitration on an individual basis only, and not in any form of class, collective, or private attorney general representative proceeding (“Class Action Waiver”).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Paragraph 12 shall not apply to any action seeking injunctive relief arising out of or relating to Paragraph 3 (Trade Secrets and Confidential Information), Paragraph 8 (Inventions, Discoveries and Authorship), and/or Paragraph 9 (Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation) of the FULL AND COMPLETE RELEASE AND AGREEMENT ON TRADE SECRETS AND CONFIDENTIALITY to which this Agreement was an Attachment. This binding arbitration provision is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. §§ 1 et seq.) and is not intended to cover claims that cannot by controlling law be required to be arbitrated, nor does it prevent the filing of a complaint with a governmental administrative agency to the extent such complaints are permitted notwithstanding an agreement to arbitrate.  Such complaints include, without limitation, those filed with the National Labor Relations Board, Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, and/or the U.S. Department of Labor. I understand and agree that any arbitration proceeding initiated under this agreement will be governed by the American Arbitration Association’s Employment Arbitration Rules and Mediation Procedures (“AAA Employment Rules”), and that no other rules or procedures (including AAA’s Supplementary Rules for Class Arbitrations) are to be applied to any such proceeding.  The AAA Employment Rules, which include an explanation of the process for commencing an arbitration and other rules governing an arbitration, may be found at the AAA’s web site, www.adr.org , or by searching for “AAA employment arbitration rules” using an internet search engine such as Google.com.  In all cases where required by law, the Company will pay the AAA administrative fees, as well as the Arbitrator’s fees and expenses.  I understand and agree that I am responsible to pay my own legal fees and expenses associated with any arbitration proceeding, subject to the Arbitrator’s authority to award attorney fees, costs or other remedies in accordance with applicable law.  A party may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction (i.e., a state court or the United States District Court for the District in which the facility location to which I was last assigned by the Company is located) for temporary or preliminary injunctive relief in connection with an arbitrable controversy, but only upon the ground that the award to which that party may be entitled may be rendered ineffectual without such provisional relief.  Notwithstanding any other clause contained in this Agreement or the AAA Employment Rules, any claim that all or part of the Class Action Waiver is invalid, unenforceable, unconscionable, void or voidable may be determined only by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator.  All other issues raised by the dispute between the Company and myself, including without limitation a request for permanent injunctive relief and enforceability of the Agreement, shall be determined by the arbitrator.
