Employee Disputes. Except as otherwise provided in this section, any controversy or claim between Employee and the Company arising out of or relating to Employee’s employment or termination of employment or any other dispute between the parties, whether arising in tort, contract, or pursuant to a statute, regulation, or ordinance now in existence or which may in the future be enacted or recognized, will be settled and determined by a single arbitrator whose award will be accepted as final and binding upon the parties. The arbitration will be conducted within the district of the federal district court with jurisdiction over Employee’s most recent place of employment with the Company (for outside sales employees, this would be Employee’s most recent residence during his/her employment) and in accordance with the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) Employment Arbitration Rules in effect at the time such arbitration is properly initiated, except in the event of any conflict with applicable law or the terms of this section, in which case applicable law will take precedence under all circumstances and the terms of this Agreement will take precedence over the AAA rules. The arbitrator will render a written decision to the parties setting forth the rationale for any award. The costs of the arbitration, including administrative fees and fees charged by the arbitrator, will be allocated pursuant to the AAA rules or, in the absence of any rules covering such costs, will be shared equally between the parties. Each party will bear its or his/her own travel expenses and attorneys’ fees. A judgment may be entered upon the arbitrator’s decision and the decision will be enforceable by any court having jurisdiction thereof. In any situation in which emergency injunctive relief may be necessary, either party may seek such relief from a court until such time as the arbitrator is able to address the matter covered by this section.
