  1. Dispute Resolution. Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or the breach thereof, shall be resolved through confidential binding arbitration administered by a single arbitrator appointed by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) in accordance with its Commercial Arbitration Rules based on the submission of documents without any in-person or oral hearing.

The prevailing party shall be entitled to an award of reasonable outside attorneys’ fees.

 

  1. Remedies. Company and Participant each acknowledges that any breach of Sections 4(a), 6, or 7 of this Agreement will cause the non-breaching party irreparable damage for which monetary damages would be an inadequate remedy.

Either party’s failure to enforce or delay in exercising any of its rights or remedies under this Agreement at any time for any period shall not be construed as a waiver of such rights or remedies, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right or remedy hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy.

 

  1. Execution. This Agreement may be executed by manual or verified electronic signature, in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument.
