In the event of any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement or Executive’s employment with the Company, the parties agree first to engage in prompt and serious good faith discussions to resolve the dispute. If such discussions fail to resolve the dispute within 30 days, the parties shall try to resolve the dispute through mediation. If such mediation fails to resolve the dispute, Executive and the Company agree that any and all disputes, claims or controversies arising out of or related to this Agreement, including any claims under any statute or regulation (“ Disputes ”), shall be submitted for binding arbitration; provided that any action by the Company to enforce Section 7 may be brought in a court of appropriate jurisdiction. Unless the parties agree otherwise, any mediation and/or arbitration shall take place in Norfolk, Virginia, and shall be administered by, and pursuant to the rules of, the American Arbitration Association. The Company agrees to pay any costs of the mediation and arbitration including the fees of the mediator and arbitrator(s) (but not, for the avoidance of doubt, any other expenses except as provided in the last sentence of Section 9.9).
