ARTICLE XV
MEDIATION/ARBITRATION OF DISPUTES
---------------------------------
15.1 Mediation Agreement. The EMPLOYER and EMPLOYEE agree that, to the
fullest extent permitted by law, any and all controversies between them
will be submitted to mediation upon terms mutually agreeable to both
parties. In the event the parties do not resolve the controversies
through mediation, then the EMPLOYER and EMPLOYEE agree that, to the
fullest extent permitted by law, any and all said controversies between
them will be submitted for resolution to binding arbitration. The
parties understand and agree that in the event mediation is
unsuccessful, then arbitration will be the exclusive forum for
resolving disputes between them, including statutory claims and all
disputes arising out of the employment relationship and the termination
of such relationship. The EMPLOYEE and EMPLOYER expressly waive their
entitlement, if any, to have controversies between them decided by a
court or jury.
15.2 Agreement to Arbitrate All Employment Disputes. Private arbitration is
the referral of a dispute to an impartial third party, instead of a
court or jury, for a final and binding decision. Any dispute arising
out of EMPLOYEE's employment with EMPLOYER including termination of
employment and all statutory claims, will be submitted to binding
arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under
its National Rules for the Resolution of Employment Disputes. Judgment
upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court
having jurisdiction. EMPLOYER and EMPLOYEE each expressly waive
entitlement, if any, to have any such controversy heard before a court
or a jury.
15.3 Time Limits for Initiating Arbitration. Either party may, within one
year of the occurrence of the event giving rise to the dispute,
initiate arbitration by notifying the other in writing. In the case of
a dispute involving statutory rights, the party must initiate
arbitration within the time limit established by the statute. Failure
to initiate arbitration within such one-year period, or the statutory
period, or such extended period as may be mutually agreed upon in
writing, will constitute a waiver of any and all claims and such claims
will be forever barred.
15.4 Selection of the Arbitrator. Both parties will attempt to agree upon a
mutually acceptable arbitrator from the American Arbitration
Association's national employment panel. If they are unable to agree
upon an arbitrator, then an arbitrator will be selected in accordance
with the then-current National Rules for the Resolution of Employment
Disputes of the American Arbitration Association.
15.5 Arbitrator's Authority. The arbitration will be conducted according to
the National Rules for the Resolution of Employment Disputes of the
American Arbitration Association. The arbitrator will base the decision
on the facts presented at the hearing and in accordance with governing
law, including statutory and judicial authority. The arbitrator must
follow the policies of EMPLOYER in effect at the time of the event
giving rise to the dispute. The arbitrator will not have authority to
modify or revoke this Arbitration Agreement, EMPLOYEE's Employment
Agreement, or any EMPLOYER policy. The arbitrator's decision will be
final and binding upon both parties. Except as provided in paragraph
seven (7) below, each party will bear its own attorneys' fees and costs
in connection with the arbitration. The cost of the arbitrator will be
shared equally by both parties.
15.6 Right of Representation. All parties are entitled to representation by
counsel or by any other person whom the party designates.
15.7 Discovery. The parties may engage in discovery to the extent permitted
under the California Arbitration Act. The arbitrator will rule on all
discovery disputes and may limit discovery to that reasonably necessary
to arbitrate the issues presented.
15.8 Remedies. The arbitrator may award such remedy as he deems just and
equitable, including any remedy that would have been available if the
matter had been heard in court. Any remedies awarded, however, will be
awarded for the purpose of making the injured party whole and will be
limited to actual and foreseeable damages proximately caused by the
event giving rise to liability and will, where applicable, be limited
by the terms of EMPLOYEE's Employment Agreement. The arbitrator can
award punitive damages to the extent permitted by statute or common
law. In addition, an arbitrator may award reasonable attorneys' fees to
the prevailing party if such fees are specifically allowed by statute
for the violation found by the arbitrator.
15.9 Right to File Administrative Complaint. Nothing in this Agreement will
prevent EMPLOYEE from filing a complaint with the Department of Fair
Employment and Housing, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, or
any other federal or state agency charged with protecting the rights of
EMPLOYEE.
5
15.10 Not withstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the
provisions of this Article XV shall not apply to any dispute,
controversy, claim or the like between EMPLOYER and EMPLOYEE arising
out of or in connection with the Confidentiality Agreement attached
hereto Exhibit B. In any such case the terms and conditions of said
Confidentiality Agreement shall apply.
ARTICLE XVI
COOPERATION
-----------
Both parties to this Agreement agree to use their best efforts to
cooperate with one another in good faith.
ARTICLE XVII
NO THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARIES
----------------------------
Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, is intended or shall
be construed to confer upon any person, firm or corporation other than the
parties hereto and their respective successors or assigns, any remedy or claim
under or by reason of this Agreement or any term, covenant or condition hereof,
as third party beneficiaries or otherwise, and all of the terms, covenants and
conditions hereof shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the parties
hereto and their successors and assigns.
ARTICLE XVIII
ENTIRE AGREEMENT
----------------
This Agreement states the entire contract between the parties with
respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and supersedes any oral or
written proposals, statements, discussions, negotiations, or other agreements
before or contemporaneous to this Agreement. The parties acknowledge that they
have not been induced to enter into this Agreement by any oral or written
representations or statements not expressly contained in this Agreement. This
Agreement may be modified only by mutual agreement of the parties provided that,
before any modification shall be operative or valid, it be reduced to writing
and signed by both parties.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Agreement on
that day and year, set forth hereinabove.

THIS AGREEMENT is made and entered into as of this 1st day of January, 2003, by
and between:
MR3 Systems, Inc. ("EMPLOYER "), a Delaware corporation, whose address is 000
Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxx 000, Xxx Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx 00000, and
Xxxx X. Xxxxxxxx ("EMPLOYEE"), whose address is 0000 Xxxx Xxxx, Xxxxxxxx, XX
00000.
EMPLOYER and EMPLOYEE, respectively, may each from time to time be individually
referred to herein as a "Party", or collectively as the "Parties", or, as the
case may be, as the "EMPLOYER" or the "EMPLOYEE".
WHEREAS:
A. EMPLOYER and EMPLOYEE have entered into a Employment Agreement
("Employee Agreement"); and
B. From time to time prior to and during the term of the
Employment Agreement, EMPLOYER may disclose confidential and
proprietary information to the EMPLOYEE.
NOW IT IS HEREBY AGREED as follows:
1. EMPLOYEE hereby agrees to undertake the following with respect
to the confidential information listed below and hereby
defined as "Confidential Information":
(a) all kinds of drawings, sketches, photographs,
layouts, artwork, specifications, including without
limitation design, manufacturing, installing, and
operating drawings (e.g., copies, films,
reproductions, etc.) for the MR3 Technology and/or
the operation of a EMPLOYER System, and other related
products and matters ("Products");
(b) EMPLOYER's financial and pricing information,
business plans, research and development, work in
progress, existing and potential commercial
relationships, services or marketing plans,
information embodied in its technologies, including
equipment, systems, software, codes, products or
chemical formulas, media, operations, manuals,
designs, letters, negotiation documents, product
descriptions, part descriptions, data, reports,
plans, proposals, know-how, methodology, brochures,
descriptions, and other documents and objects of
every description and all related information; and
2. All Confidential Information shall be treated by the EMPLOYEE
as confidential, shall be kept secret by the EMPLOYEE, shall
not be disclosed, directly or indirectly, by the EMPLOYEE to
any third party without the express written consent of the
EMPLOYER and shall be used by the EMPLOYEE exclusively for the
purposes of performing his obligations under, and otherwise
complying with the terms and conditions of, the Employee
Agreement, including all attachments, exhibits and schedules
thereto.
3. The obligations of confidentiality and non-disclosure and the
restrictions of use contained herein shall not apply to
information, which the EMPLOYEE can demonstrate:
(a) is available to the public at the time it is
disclosed or thereafter becomes available to the
public; or
(b) is known to the EMPLOYEE at the time of disclosure;
or
(c) properly comes into the possession of the EMPLOYEE
from an independent source not bound by a
confidentiality obligation.
8
However, specific aspects of the Confidential Information
shall not be deemed to be within the scope of exceptions (a),
(b) and (c) above merely because they are broadly encompassed
by more general information which is in the public domain or
in the EMPLOYEE's possession or is disclosed to the EMPLOYEE
by a third party.
4. EMPLOYEE further agrees that without the express prior written
permission of EMPLOYER:
(a) it will not use the Confidential Information of MR3
to operate (or subcontract others to operate) any
high affinity metals capture technology similar to
the MR3 System or to produce (or subcontract others
to produce) Products or any similar items for anyone
other than MR3 ; and
(b) it will not use or otherwise disclose any such
Confidential Information to any third party.
5. EMPLOYEE confirms that the Confidential Information has been
and shall remain the sole property of the EMPLOYER and upon
receipt of a request from the EMPLOYER, agrees to immediately
return to the EMPLOYER any Confidential Information, including
any drawings, photographs, specifications or other documents
in its possession without retaining any summaries, photocopies
or other reproductions of the above.
6. EMPLOYEE further confirms that any Confidential Information
received has been and shall remain the property of the
EMPLOYER, and the EMPLOYEE shall not claim or apply for any
kind of intellectual property rights pertaining to or relevant
to the Confidential Information.
7. EMPLOYEE acknowledges that the remedies provided by law for a
violation of his obligations would be inadequate and that the
EMPLOYER will be irreparably damaged in the event of a breach
of this Agreement. Consequently, EMPLOYER shall be entitled
to, and the EMPLOYEE shall not in any way object to, an
injunction restraining any violation of this Agreement, or any
appropriate decree of specific performance, without any bond
or other security, or any proof of irreparable damage, being
required.
8. The obligations of confidentiality and non-disclosure and the
restrictions of use contained herein shall continue for a
period of ninety-nine (99) years from the last date that
Confidential Information is furnished by a EMPLOYER to a
EMPLOYEE.
9. This Agreement may not be modified, amended, rescinded,
canceled or waived in whole or in part, except by written
instrument, signed by both parties, which makes specific
reference to this Agreement and which specifies that this
Agreement is being amended or otherwise altered. None of the
provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed to be waived by
any act or acquiescence on the part of either Party, but only
by a writing executed by both Parties.
10. This Agreement will be binding upon permitted successors and
assignees of the Parties. .
11.
(a) If during the course of any litigation, whether or
not the EMPLOYEE is a party to such litigation, the
EMPLOYEE is requested or required to disclose
Confidential Information obtained under the scope of
this Agreement, the EMPLOYEE shall immediately notify
EMPLOYER of this fact prior to divulging the
Confidential Information and shall give EMPLOYER
adequate notice of the requests or requirement so as
to allow EMPLOYER sufficient time to seek judicial
protection of the Confidential Information.
(b) In the event that any Confidential Information within
the possession of the EMPLOYEE is believed by the
EMPLOYEE to have fallen recently within an exception
set forth in Section 3 above and is, therefore, not
Confidential Information, then the EMPLOYEE shall, at
least sixty (60) days prior to any disclosure or use
of such information for any purpose, notify EMPLOYER
of this fact in writing.
9
14. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of California. The
Parties hereby agree that any legal action or proceeding
arising out of or relating to this Agreement may be brought in
the courts of the State of California and the Parties hereby
irrevocably submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of, but
not limited to, the courts of the State of California.
15. Each Party agrees to pay all attorneys' fees and associated
expenses in connection with this Agreement in the event of
default or in the event that the other Party seeks to enforce
its rights under any provision of this Agreement.
16. If any one or more of the provisions contained in this
Agreement shall, for any reason, be held to be invalid,
illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity,
illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other
provisions of this Agreement, but this Agreement shall be
construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable
provision had never been contained herein. If, moreover, any
one or more of the provisions contained in the Agreement shall
for any reason be held to be excessively broad as to time,
duration, geographical scope, activity or subject, it shall be
construed by limiting and reducing it, so as to be enforceable
to the extent compatible with the applicable law as it shall
then exist.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the duly authorized representatives of the Parties
have signed this Agreement as of January 1, 2003.
