8. Arbitration and Equitable Relief.

A. Arbitration. In consideration of O’Reilly’s rights under this Agreement, the Company’s promise to arbitrate disputes under this Agreement, and the receipt of compensation paid to O’Reilly by the Company, at present and in the future, THE COMPANY AND O’Reilly agree that any and all controversies, claims, or disputes with anyone (including the Company and any employee, officer, director, shareholder or benefit plan of the Company in its capacity as such or otherwise), whether brought on an individual, group, or class basis, arising out of, relating to, or resulting from O’Reilly’s performance of the Services under this Agreement or the termination of this Agreement, including any breach of this Agreement, shall be subject to binding arbitration under the Arbitration Rules set forth in California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1280 through 1294.2, including Section 1283.05 (the “Rules”) and pursuant to California law.

O’Reilly further understands that this Agreement to arbitrate also applies to any disputes that the Company may have with O’Reilly.

B. Procedure. THE COMPANY AND O’Reilly agree that any arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), and that the neutral arbitrator will be selected in a manner consistent with AAA’s National Rules for the Resolution of Employment Disputes. THE COMPANY AND O’Reilly agree that the arbitrator shall have the power to decide any motions brought by any party to the arbitration, including motions for summary judgment and/or adjudication, motions to dismiss and demurrers, and motions for class certification, prior to any arbitration hearing. THE COMPANY AND O’Reilly also agree that the arbitrator shall have the power to award any remedies available under applicable law, and that the arbitrator shall award attorneys’ fees and costs to the prevailing party except as prohibited by law. THE COMPANY AND O’Reilly understand that the Company will pay for any administrative or hearing fees charged by the arbitrator or AAA, except that O’Reilly shall pay the first $125.00 of any filing fees associated with any arbitration O’Reilly initiates. THE COMPANY AND O’Reilly agree that the arbitrator shall administer and conduct any arbitration in a manner consistent with the Rules and that to the extent that the AAA’s National Rules for the Resolution of Employment Disputes conflict with the Rules, the Rules shall take precedence. O’Reilly agrees that the decision of the arbitrator shall be in writing.

C. Remedy. Except as provided by the Rules and this Agreement, arbitration shall be the sole, exclusive and final remedy for any dispute between the Company and O’Reilly. Accordingly, except as provided for by the Rules and this Agreement, neither the Company nor O’Reilly will be permitted to pursue court action regarding claims that are subject to arbitration. Notwithstanding, the arbitrator will not have the authority to disregard or refuse to enforce any lawful Company policy, and the arbitrator shall not order or require the Company to adopt a policy not otherwise required by law.

D. Availability of Injunctive Relief. O’Reilly agrees that EITHER THE COMPANY or O’Reilly may petition a court for provisional relief, including injunctive relief, as permitted by the Rules, including, but not limited to, where either THE COMPANY or O’Reilly alleges or claims a violation of this Agreement between O’Reilly and the Company or any other agreement regarding trade secrets, confidential information, nonsolicitation or Labor Code §2870. O’Reilly understands that any breach or threatened breach of such an agreement (INCLUDING THIS AGREEMENT) will cause irreparable injury and that money damages will not provide an adequate remedy therefor and both O’Reilly AND THE COMPANY hereby consent to the issuance of an injunction.

E. Administrative Relief. O’Reilly understands that this Agreement does not prohibit O’Reilly from pursuing an administrative claim with a local, state or federal administrative body such as the Department of Fair Employment and Housing, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission or the workers’ compensation board. This Agreement does, however, preclude O’Reilly from pursuing court action regarding any such claim.

F. Voluntary Nature of Agreement. O’Reilly acknowledges and agrees that O’Reilly is executing this Agreement voluntarily and without any duress or undue influence by the Company or anyone else. O’Reilly further acknowledges and agrees that O’Reilly has carefully read this Agreement and that O’Reilly has asked any questions needed for O’Reilly to understand the terms, consequences and binding effect of this Agreement and fully understand it, including that O’Reilly is waiving HIS right to a jury trial. Finally, O’Reilly agrees that O’Reilly has been provided an opportunity to seek the advice of an attorney of HIS choice before signing this Agreement.
