16.Arbitration. THE PARTIES HEREBY KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVE ANY RIGHTS THAT THEY MAY HAVE TO A JURY TRIAL FOR ANY SUCH DISPUTES, CONTROVERSIES OR CLAIMS. In the event of any dispute arising under or including any provisions of this Agreement, Executive and the Company agree to submit the dispute to binding arbitration before a mutually agreed upon arbitrator in accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”), 9 U.S.C. § 1, et seq. Disputes between the Parties that may not be subject to pre-dispute arbitration agreement as provided by an Act of Congress are excluded from the coverage of this Agreement. The arbitration shall be conducted in [INSERT CITY OR COUNTY], California by JAMS, Inc. (“JAMS”) or its successors, under JAMS’ then applicable rules. A neutral arbitrator shall be selected by both parties, and shall: (a) have the authority to compel adequate discovery for the resolution of the dispute; (b) have the authority to award monetary damages and any and all other remedies that would be available in court, governed by the substantive laws of the State of California; and (c) issue a written arbitration decision including the arbitrator’s essential findings and conclusions and a statement of the award. The parties shall be entitled to all rights and remedies that either would be entitled to pursue in a court of law; provided, however, that either party may seek to obtain injunctive relief in court to prevent irreparable harm pending the conclusion of arbitration. Each party will pay the fees for their own counsel, subject to any remedies to which that party may later be entitled under this Agreement or applicable law. However, in all cases where required by law, the Company will pay the Arbitrator's and arbitration fees. If under applicable law the Company is not required to pay all the Arbitrator's and/or arbitration fees, such fee(s) will be apportioned between the parties in accordance with said applicable law, and any disputes in that regard will be resolved by the Arbitrator. The decision of the Arbitrator shall be final and binding on the parties. Nothing in this Section will prohibit the parties in the future from mutually agreeing to alternative methods of dispute resolution such as mutually agreed non-binding mediation before a mutually agreed mediator or other methods of dispute resolution prior to initiating arbitration under this Section; provided however that no party shall be deemed to be obligated to agree to such alternative dispute resolution mechanisms in lieu of the provisions of this Section 16.
17.Controlling Law. This Agreement shall in all respects be interpreted, enforced, and governed under the laws of the State of California. The Company and Executive agree that the language in this Agreement shall, in all cases, be construed as a whole, according to its fair meaning, and not strictly for, or against, either of the Parties.
18.Severability. Should any provision of this Agreement be declared or determined to be illegal or invalid by any government agency, arbitrator, or court of competent jurisdiction, the validity of the remaining parts, terms or provisions of this Agreement shall not be affected and such provisions shall remain in full force and effect.
19.Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the applicable Company equity documents and the Final Release shall constitute the entire agreement and understanding between the Executive and the Company with respect to the subject matter hereof, and fully supersedes all prior and contemporaneous negotiations, understandings, representations, writings, discussions and/or agreements, whether oral or written, pertaining to or concerning the subject matter of this Agreement, including but not limited to the Employment Agreement. No oral statements or other prior written materials, not specifically incorporated into this Agreement shall be of any force or effect, and no changes in or additions to this Agreement shall be recognized, unless incorporated into this Agreement by written amendment, such amendment to become effective on the date stipulated in it. Any amendment to this Agreement must be signed by Executive and the Company.
20.Disclaimer of Reliance. Except for the specific representations expressly made by the Company in this Agreement, Executive specifically disclaims that Executive is relying upon or relied upon on any communications, promises, statements, inducements, or representation(s) that may have been made, oral or written, regarding the subject matter of this Agreement. The Parties represent that they are relying solely and only on their own judgment in entering into this Agreement.
21.No Admission of Liability. Each of the Parties acknowledges that neither this Agreement, nor payment of any consideration pursuant to this Agreement, shall be taken or construed to be an admission or concession of any kind with respect to any alleged liabilities, all of which are expressly denied by the Released Parties.
22.Waiver of California Civil Code Section 1654. Each of the Parties has had the opportunity to obtain advice of legal counsel prior to the execution of this Agreement, and understands fully the contents hereof. Therefore, this Agreement shall not be construed to have been drafted by any one Party and the Parties expressly waive the provisions of California Civil Code §1654 to the extent that it requires an ambiguity to be interpreted against the drafting party.
23.Attorney’s Fees. Each Party shall bear its/his own attorney’s fees in the preparation and review of this Agreement. Should suit or action be instituted to enforce any provision of this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its/his costs and reasonable attorney’s fees.
24.No Waiver. This Agreement may not be waived, modified, amended, supplemented, canceled or discharged, except by written agreement of the Executive and the Company. Failure to exercise and/or delay in exercising any right, power or privilege in this Agreement shall not operate as a waiver. No waiver of any breach of any provision shall be deemed to be a waiver or any preceding or succeeding breach of the same or any other provision, nor shall any waiver be implied from any course of dealing between Executive and the Company.
25.Captions. All Section captions are for reference only and shall not be considered in construing this Agreement.
26.Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by the Parties in multiple counterparts, whether or not all signatories appear on these counterparts (including via electronic signatures, and exchange of PDF documents via email), each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
