Awards (1) The tribunal, in its award, shall set out its findings of law and fact, together with the reasons therefore, and may, at the request of a Contracting Party, award the following forms of relief:
Retention Award The Company shall pay the Executive $785,000, plus interest at the rate specified below (the “Retention Award”) in a lump-sum cash payment in July 2014, provided that the Executive remains employed through December 31, 2013.

The arbitrator may not award any relief or remedy in excess of what a court could grant under applicable law. The arbitrator’s decision is final and binding on both parties. Judgment upon an award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having competent jurisdiction.
