Any claim or controversy not submitted to arbitration in accordance with this section will be considered waived, and therefore, no arbitration panel or court will have the power to rule or make any award on such claims or controversy. Any such arbitration will be conducted in the Las Vegas, Nevada metropolitan area. Both the Company and the Executive recognize that each would give up any right to a jury trial, but believe the benefits of arbitration significantly out-weigh any disadvantage. Both further believe arbitration is likely to be both less expensive and less time-consuming than litigation of any dispute there might be. </FONT></P>

This section is intended to be the exclusive method for resolving any and all claims by the parties against each other for payment of damages under this Agreement or relating to the Executive&#8217;s employment; provided, however, that the Executive shall retain the right to file administrative charges with or seek relief through any government agency of competent jurisdiction, and to participate in any government investigation, including but not limited to (a) claims for workers&#8217; compensation, state disability insurance or unemployment insurance; (b) claims for unpaid wages or waiting time penalties brought before an appropriate state authority; provided, however, that any appeal from an award or from denial of an award of wages and/or waiting time penalties shall be arbitrated pursuant to the terms of this Agreement; and (c) claims for administrative relief from the United States Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (or any similar state agency in any applicable jurisdiction); provided, further, that the Executive shall not be entitled to obtain any monetary relief through such agencies other than workers&#8217; compensation benefits or unemployment insurance benefits. This Agreement shall not limit either party&#8217;s right to obtain any provisional remedy, including, without limitation, injunctive or similar relief, from any court of competent jurisdiction as may be necessary to protect their rights and interests pending the outcome of arbitration, including without limitation injunctive relief, in any court of competent jurisdiction. Seeking any such relief shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such party&#8217;s right to compel arbitration. </FONT></P>

The Rules may be found online at www.adr.org. The award rendered in any arbitration proceeding under this section will be final and binding. Any demand for arbitration must be made and filed within sixty (60) days of the date the requesting party knew or reasonably should have known of the event giving rise to the controversy or claim. Any claim or controversy not submitted to arbitration in accordance with this section will be considered waived, and therefore, no arbitration panel or court will have the power to rule or make any award on such claims or controversy. Any such arbitration will be conducted in the Las Vegas, Nevada metropolitan area. Both the Company and the Executive recognize that each would give up any right to a jury trial, but believe the benefits of arbitration significantly out-weigh any disadvantage. Both further believe arbitration is likely to be both less expensive and less time-consuming than litigation of any dispute there might be. </FONT></P>
