Resolution of Disputes. Any controversy, claim or dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the breach of this Agreement shall be settled by arbitration before a single neutral arbitrator in accordance with the National Rules for the Resolution of Employment Disputes of the American Arbitration Association (the "Rules"), and a judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. The Rules may be found online at www.adr.org. The award rendered in any arbitr...ation proceeding under this section will be final and binding. Any demand for arbitration must be made and filed within sixty (60) days of the date the requesting party knew or reasonably should have known of the event giving rise to the controversy or claim. Any claim or controversy not submitted to arbitration in accordance with this section will be considered waived, and therefore, no arbitration panel or court will have the power to rule or make any award on such claims or controversy. Any such arbitration will be conducted in the Las Vegas, Nevada metropolitan area. Both the Company and the Executive recognize that each would give up any right to a jury trial, but believe the benefits of arbitration significantly out-weigh any disadvantage. Both further believe arbitration is likely to be both less expensive and less time-consuming than litigation of any dispute there might be. 10 Each party shall pay the fees of its own attorneys, the expenses of its witnesses and all other expenses connected with presenting its case; however, Executive and the Company agree that, to the extent permitted by law, the arbitrator may, in his or her discretion, award reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses to the prevailing party. Other costs of the arbitration, including the cost of any record or transcripts of the arbitration, AAA's administrative fees, the fee of the arbitrator, and other similar fees and costs, shall be borne by the Company. This section is intended to be the exclusive method for resolving any and all claims by the parties against each other for payment of damages under this Agreement or relating to the Executive's employment; provided, however, that the Executive shall retain the right to file administrative charges with or seek relief through any government agency of competent jurisdiction, and to participate in any government investigation, including but not limited to (a) claims for workers' compensation, state disability insurance or unemployment insurance; (b) claims for unpaid wages or waiting time penalties brought before an appropriate state authority; provided, however, that any appeal from an award or from denial of an award of wages and/or waiting time penalties shall be arbitrated pursuant to the terms of this Agreement; and (c) claims for administrative relief from the United States Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (or any similar state agency in any applicable jurisdiction); provided, further, that the Executive shall not be entitled to obtain any monetary relief through such agencies other than workers' compensation benefits or unemployment insurance benefits. This Agreement shall not limit either party's right to obtain any provisional remedy, including, without limitation, injunctive or similar relief, from any court of competent jurisdiction as may be necessary to protect their rights and interests pending the outcome of arbitration, including without limitation injunctive relief, in any court of competent jurisdiction. Seeking any such relief shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such party's right to compel arbitration. If there shall be any dispute between the Company and the Executive (a) in the event of any termination of Executive's employment by the Company, whether such termination was with or without Cause, or (b) in the event of a Constructive Termination of employment by the Company, then, unless and until there is a final award by an arbitrator, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Company shall pay, and provide all benefits to the Executive and/or the Executive's family or other beneficiaries, as the case may be, that the Company would be required to pay or provide pursuant to Section 7 hereof, as the case may be, as though such termination were by the Company without Cause or was a Constructive Termination by the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any disputed amounts pursuant to this section except upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the Executive to repay all such amounts to which Executive is ultimately adjudged by such arbitrator not to be entitled.
