ARBITRATION OF DISPUTES. The Executive and the Company agree that any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the breach thereof, or the coverage of this arbitration provision shall be settled by arbitration, rather than by litigation, administered by the American Arbitration Association in accordance with the National Rules for the Resolution of Employment Disputes in effect on the date of delivery of demand for arbitration. The Executive waives the right to submit any discrimination claims or other employment-related claims in a court proceeding, and elects instead to submit any such claims to arbitration.

The arbitrators shall have the authority to award reimbursement of reasonable attorneys' fees and other fees and expenses as part of the remedy, in accordance with applicable law. By agreeing to arbitration under this Section, the Company and the Executive understand that they are each waiving any right to a trial by jury and each party makes that waiver knowingly and voluntarily with full consideration of the ramifications of such waiver. Nothing contained herein shall be construed or interpreted to preclude the Company prior to, or pending the resolution of, any matter subject to arbitration from seeking injunctive relief in any court for any breach or threatened breach of any of the Executive's obligations in Section 12 hereof. 14. RESOLUTION OF DISPUTES. The parties agree that this Agreement will be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Michigan, without application of choice of law rules. 15. RIGHT TO INJUNCTIVE AND OTHER RELIEF; CONSENT TO JURISDICTION.
