Waiver of Representative/Class Action Proceedings. Employee and Company knowingly and voluntarily agree to bring any claims governed by this Agreement in his/its individual capacity and not as a plaintiff, class member or representative in any purported class or representative action. They further agree to waive any right to participate in any representative or class action proceeding related to any claims governed by this Agreement. The Company and Employee also agree that the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one individual’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of representative or class action proceeding, including, but not limited to, any representative action under California Business and Professions Code Sections 17200 et seq. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “representative” used in this section specifically excludes any claims, causes of action, or actions brought under PAGA (“PAGA claims”). Accordingly, any PAGA claims must be pursued in the appropriate court of law. However, if either Employee or the Company have other claims or actions against each other covered by this Agreement, then they agree that those non-PAGA claims must first be pursued in arbitration, regardless of which claims or actions were filed first. The pending court PAGA action shall be stayed pending full and final resolution of the arbitration pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1281.2 and related law.
