purpose of the contract is tainted with illegality’ or ‘the illegality is collateral to [its] main purpose.’ ” Ingle v. Circuit City Stores, Inc., 328 F.3d 1165, 1180 (9th Cir.2003). The Court finds that the unconscionable provisions of the Arbitration Agreement are not merely, “collateral.” Although some courts have severed unconscionable. forum selection provisions, see Haisha, 2015 WL 224407 at *10, Finish Line has cited no case where a court has enforced an arbitration agreement after severing. unconscionable forum selection, cost sharing, and mutuality provisions. In short, the unconscionable provisions included in the Arbitration Agreement are simply too numerous and too important to be. severed from the whole. See Armendariz, 24 Cal.4th at 124, 99 Cal.Rptr.2d 745, 6 P.3d 669 (<HOLDING>). Accordingly, the Court finds that the
holding that a later concession to strike an unconscionable term does not change the fact that the arbitration agreement as written is unconscionable and contrary to public policy holding that proposed invalidation of the entire arbitration agreement even if the court were convinced that the plaintiff could not afford to pay for the arbitration proceedings was unnecessarily radical because the court could instead simply nullify the fee provisions of the arbitration agreement and force the defendant employer to bear the expense of arbitration holding that where an arbitration agreement between an employer and employee does not specifically provide for the handling of arbitration costs california courts should interpret the arbitration agreement  as providing  that the employer must bear the arbitration forum costs holding that an arbitration clause was not unconscionable because it did not unreasonably favor the defendants holding that the existence of two unconscionable provisions weighed in favor of voiding the entire agreement becausemultiple defects indicate a systematic effort to impose arbitration on an employee not simply as an alternative to litigation but as an inferior forum that works to the employers advantage
