Other than with respect to any disputes concerning Executive’s obligations under Section 7 of this Agreement or Exhibit A hereto, in the event of any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or the enforcement of rights hereunder, such dispute or claim shall be submitted to binding arbitration in accordance with S.C. Code Ann. § 15-48-10 et seq. , as amended, and the then-current rules and procedures of the American Arbitration Association’s (the “ AAA’s ”) National Rules for the Resolution of Employment Disputes. Any arbitration initiated under this Agreement shall be conducted solely between the parties to this Agreement, and under no circumstances shall this Agreement allow or authorize arbitration of any claims as parties to a class or collective action or class or collective arbitration. The arbitrator shall be selected by an agreement of the parties to the dispute or claim from the panel of arbitrators selected by the AAA, or, if the parties cannot agree on an arbitrator within thirty (30) calendar days after the notice of a party’s desire to have a dispute settled by arbitration, then the arbitrator shall be selected by the AAA in Charleston, South Carolina. The arbitrator shall apply the laws of the State of South Carolina, without reference to rules of conflict of law or statutory rules of arbitration, to the merits of any dispute or claim. Under established legal standards pertaining to the claim(s) made, the arbitrator shall have the power to grant summary judgment upon the request of either party, prior to commencement of the arbitration hearing. The determinations reached by the arbitrator shall be final and binding on all parties hereto without any right of appeal or further dispute. Execution of the determination by such arbitration may be sought in any court of competent jurisdiction.
