The Parties Agree that any dispute, controversy or claim based on, arising out of or relating to the interpretation and performance of this Separation Agreement, the Employment Agreement, the Stock Option Agreements, Employee’s employment with Employer or the separation of Employee’s employment with Employer, including, but not limited to, any claims for discrimination under the ADEA, the ADA, Title VII, the EPA, the FCRA, or any other federal, state or local law or regulation (collectively, “ Dispute ”), shall be solely submitted to and finally settled by arbitration before a single arbitrator to be held in West Palm Beach, Florida, in accordance with the then-current employment dispute resolution rules of the American Arbitration Association (“ AAA ”). Prior to initiating arbitration under this Section 14, a party who intends to initiate arbitration (the “ Filing Party ”) must notify the other party (the “ Opposing Party ”) of the Filing Party’s intent to initiate arbitration, setting forth the Dispute the Filing Party intends to arbitrate, and providing the Opposing Party with ten (10) days to resolve the matter giving rise to the Dispute. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Employer and Employee may file a court action seeking provisional equitable remedies available under the law, including but not limited to temporary or preliminary injunctive relief, either before the commencement of or during the arbitration process, to preserve the status quo or otherwise prevent damage or loss pending final resolution of the arbitration of any Dispute pursuant to the terms of this Section 14. Nothing herein shall interfere with the Employee’s rights under Section 15. The Parties agree that the single arbitrator shall be appointed from the AAA’s list of arbitrators by mutual consent of the parties, or in the absence of such mutual consent, the AAA shall make the appointment of the arbitrator. Employer shall pay the fees of the arbitrator and the administrative fees charged by the AAA during the arbitration, except that the party initially filing the claim shall be responsible for the initial filing fee. Each of the Parties shall be responsible for their own legal fees, expert costs, and expenses of their witnesses incurred in arbitration. The Parties agree that this Section 14 shall be grounds for dismissal of any court action commenced by either party with respect to any Dispute, other than (i) post-arbitration actions seeking to enforce an arbitration award, and (ii) actions seeking temporary or preliminary injunctive relief, as provided in this Section 14. The Parties agree that the arbitrator shall issue a signed written decision that provides the reasons for the decision. Subject to the Parties’ right to appeal or seek vacatur under applicable law, the arbitrator is authorized to award any party the full remedies that would be available to such party as if the claim had been filed in a court of competent jurisdiction, including attorneys’ fees and costs. The decision of the arbitrator and arbitration award shall be final and binding on the Parties, and it may be enforced by a court of competent jurisdiction, subject to available legal grounds for vacating an arbitration award. EMPLOYEE AND EMPLOYER KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY AGREE TO THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION AND ACKNOWLEDGE THAT ARBITRATION SHALL BE INSTEAD OF ANY CIVIL LITIGATION, MEANING THAT EMPLOYEE AND EMPLOYER ARE EACH WAIVING ANY RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL FOR ANY DISPUTE, AS DEFINED HEREIN.
