If the parties are unable to agree on an arbitrator, the party requesting arbitration can submit the matter to AAA, and a neutral arbitrator will be selected pursuant to AAA&#8217;s processes. The location of the arbitration proceeding shall be no more than 45 miles from the office where the Employee last worked for the Company, unless each Party agrees in writing otherwise. Except as otherwise provided herein, the arbitrator shall apply the substantive law of the state in which the claim(s) arose and/or federal law, as applicable. In arbitration, the Parties will have the right to conduct adequate civil discovery, bring dispositive motions and present witnesses and evidences to present their cases and defenses. The arbitrator shall render a written award setting forth the arbitrator&#8217;s findings of fact and conclusions of law. The arbitrator may grant injunctions or any other relief in such dispute or controversy as would otherwise be available in court. The decision of the arbitrator shall be final and binding on the parties to the arbitration. Judgment may be entered on the arbitrator's decision in any court having jurisdiction. The arbitrator may award any party any remedy to which that party is entitled under applicable law, including an award of attorneys&#8217; fees, but such remedies shall be limited to those that would be available to a party in a court of law for the claims presented to and decided by the arbitrator. No remedies that otherwise would be available to an individual in a court of law will be forfeited by virtue of this Agreement. The Company will pay the arbitrator&#8217;s fees and costs that are unique to the arbitration to the extent required by law. </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:16px;text-align:left;padding-left:48px;text-indent:48px;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;font-weight:bold;">(d)</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have the exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of this Agreement, including, but not limited to, any claim that all or any part of this Agreement is void or voidable.
