The AAA’s optional rules for Emergency Measures or protection are also adopted. Subject to section 5.f. below, you covenant and promise that should you commence any action or pursue a claim


 
5 based on a dispute which you agree to arbitrate, you will do so before the AAA as set forth herein and will not file any complaint or other pleading in a local, state or federal court, acknowledging that doing so would damage Company and deprive it of the benefits of the private and confidential dispute resolution provided for herein. Disputes which you agree to arbitrate, and thereby agree to waive any right to a trial by jury, include any statutory claims under state or federal law, including, but not limited to, claims under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990, the Age Discrimination In Employment Act of 1967, the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act, and any statutory claims. You further understand that this agreement to arbitrate also applies to any disputes that Company may have with you arising during your employment with Company or the termination of your employment with Company. To the fullest extent permitted by law, you forego any right to bring claims as a representative or as a member of a class or in a private attorney general capacity, and expressly disclaim your right to be part of a class, collective action, or a private attorney general claim. Nothing in this provision limits or prohibits employees from engaging in a “Protected Activity” as defined in this Agreement or as established under State or Federal Law. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the arbitration will be private and confidential. The arbitrator will issue an order providing that all pleadings, motions, discovery, responses, depositions, testimony, case management orders, decisions, and documents exchanged or filed in relation to the arbitration be kept strictly private and confidential. The arbitrator will issue the standard protective order referenced in local rule 26-2 of the United States District Court for the District of Utah. c. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following claims are not covered by this arbitration provision: claims for workers’ compensation benefits, claims for unemployment compensation benefits, claims under the National Labor Relations Act, claims based upon Company’s employee benefits and welfare plans that contain an appeal procedure or other procedure for the resolution of disputes under the plan, and claims by Company for injunction or other equitable relief, including without limitation claims for unfair competition and the unauthorized disclosure of trade secrets or confidential information. d. You agree that any arbitration will be administered by the AAA and that a single neutral arbitrator will be selected in a manner consistent with the Rules. You agree that the arbitrator will administer and conduct any arbitration in accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act and the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (the “FRCP”), and that arbitrator will apply substantive Utah law to any dispute or claim, without reference to any conflict of law provisions of any jurisdiction and to the extent that the Rules conflict with the FRCP, the FRCP will take precedence. You agree that the arbitrator will have the power to decide any motions brought by any party to the arbitration, including motions for summary judgment and adjudication and motions to dismiss and demurrers, prior to any arbitration hearing. Motions for summary judgment, partial summary judgment, or summary adjudication will be decided according to Rule 56 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and applicable case law. Notwithstanding any AAA rules or arbitration procedure, it is the intent of the parties that the arbitrator will consider and rule on any such motions as if in a federal court of the United States. You also agree that the arbitrator will have the power to award any remedies, including attorneys’ fees and costs, available under applicable law. The Company will pay the joint costs and expenses of such arbitration. Notwithstanding this provision, the Company will not pay any costs or expenses of the arbitration that are incurred solely by you. Each party will separately pay for its respective counsel fees and expenses; provided, however, that the arbitrator will award attorneys’ fees and costs to the prevailing party except as prohibited by law. Except as set forth herein or as agreed by the parties in writing, you agree that the arbitrator will administer and conduct any arbitration in a manner consistent with the Rules. Employee agrees that the decision of the arbitrator will be in writing and set forth the reasoning thereof. e. Except as provided by the Rules and this Agreement, including without limitation Section 7.c. above, arbitration will be the sole, exclusive and final remedy for any dispute between Company and you. Accordingly, except as provided for by the Rules and this Agreement, neither Company nor you will be permitted to pursue court action regarding claims that are subject to arbitration. Notwithstanding, the


 
6 arbitrator will not have the authority to disregard or refuse to enforce any lawful Company policy, and the arbitrator will not order or require Company to adopt a policy not otherwise required by law which Company has not adopted. Further, any party may seek a separate order from a court of competent jurisdiction enforcing the arbitrator’s order protecting the disclosure of pleadings, motions, discovery responses, depositions, testimony, case management orders, decisions, and documents exchanged or filed in the arbitration, provided such motion and responses thereto are filed under seal. f. In addition to the right under the Rules to petition the court for provisional relief, you agree that any party may also petition the court for injunctive relief where either party alleges or claims a violation of this Agreement or any other agreement regarding trade secrets, confidential information, non- competition, or non-solicitation. Employee understands that any breach or threatened breach of such agreement will cause irreparable injury and that money damages will not provide an adequate remedy therefor and both parties hereby consent to the issuance of a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction, permanent injunction, or other injunctive relief, without posting any bond or other security, compelling you to comply with all provisions of such agreements. The preceding sentence will not be construed to limit Company from any other relief or damages to which it may be entitled because of your breach of any provision of this Agreement. If either party seeks injunctive relief, the prevailing party will be entitled to recover reasonable costs and attorneys’ fees. 8. Taxes. The Company shall have the right to withhold and deduct from any payment hereunder any federal, state or local taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld with respect to any such payment. The Company shall not be liable to you or other persons as to any unexpected or adverse tax consequence realized by you and you shall be solely responsible for the timely payment of all taxes arising from this Agreement that are imposed on you. This Agreement is intended to comply with the applicable requirements of Code Section 409A and shall be limited, construed and interpreted in a manner so as to comply therewith. Each payment made pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be considered a separate payment and not one of a series of payments for purposes of Code Section 409A. While it is intended that all payments and benefits provided under this Agreement to you will be exempt from or comply with Code Section 409A, the Company makes no representation or covenant to ensure that the payments under this Agreement are exempt from or compliant with Code Section 409A. The Company will have no liability to you or any other party if a payment or benefit under this Agreement is challenged by any taxing authority or is ultimately determined not to be exempt or compliant. In addition, if upon your Termination Date, you are then a “specified employee” (as defined in Code Section 409A), then solely to the extent necessary to comply with Code Section 409A and avoid the imposition of taxes under Code Section 409A, the Company shall defer payment of “nonqualified deferred compensation” subject to Code Section 409A payable as a result of and within six (6) months following your Termination Date until the earlier of (i) the first business day of the seventh (7th) month following your Termination Date or (ii) ten (10) days after the Company receives written confirmation of your death. Any such delayed payments shall be made without interest. Additionally, the reimbursement of expenses or in-kind benefits provided pursuant to this Agreement shall be subject to the following conditions: (1) the expenses eligible for reimbursement or in-kind benefits in one taxable year shall not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement or in-kind benefits in any other taxable year; (2) the reimbursement of eligible expenses or in-kind benefits shall be made promptly, subject to the Company’s applicable policies, but in no event later than the end of the year after the year in which such expense was incurred; and (3) the right to reimbursement or in-kind benefits shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit. 9.

Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, this Agreement (including without limitation the Confidentiality Agreement, the policies referenced in Section 12.f. and any other agreements referenced herein) contains all the legally binding understandings and agreements between you and the Company pertaining to the subject matter of this Agreement and supersedes all such agreements, whether oral or in writing, previously discussed or
