In the event that a dispute arises between the parties regarding the formation, interpretation and/or the terms and conditions of this Agreement and/or if there arises any other claim or legal dispute between the parties with respect to Executive’s employment or the termination thereof (the “Dispute”), the complaining party shall submit the Dispute in writing to the other party for resolution. If the Dispute is not resolved between the parties within thirty (30) days of the date the Dispute is submitted in writing to the other party, the complaining party must make a demand for final and binding arbitration in Boston, MA before an arbitrator pursuant to the Employment Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association in effect at the time of the Dispute (the “AAA Rules”) if the complaining party wishes to pursue the Dispute (“Demand for Arbitration”). Provided , however, that the foregoing shall not preclude the Company from immediately seeking injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction in connection with Executive’s breach or threatened breach of the Restrictive Covenants or the provisions set forth in Sections 13 or 14 of this Agreement. The parties expressly understand that by agreeing to this arbitration provision, they are agreeing to waive any rights to a civil action and/or jury trial regarding any Disputes between them. The parties shall share all costs, filing fees, and administrative fees for the arbitration equally as they come due; the parties shall be responsible for their own attorneys’ fees, witness fees, and travel costs. The arbitrator shall have the authority to rule on any and all issues properly presented in the Demand for Arbitration and/or pursuant to the AAA Rules and may award any and all relief provided under applicable law. The arbitrator’s award may be enforced, vacated, modified or corrected as set forth in the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C § 1 et seq. This Agreement shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C § 1 et seq., as amended, and the applicable rules of the American Arbitration Association set forth in this Agreement. This Agreement shall be binding upon, and shall inure to the benefit of Executive, the Company and their respective permitted successors and assigns.
