Arbitration. Any dispute or claim, including all contract, tort, discrimination, and statutory claims, arising under or relating to your employment or termination of your employment with FibroGen (“Arbitrable Claim(s)”) shall be resolved by arbitration. “Arbitrable Claims” shall not include: # claims under applicable workers’ compensation law, # unemployment insurance claims, and # any disputes or claims relating to or arising out of the misuse or misappropriation of trade secrets. You and FibroGen hereby waive any rights each may have to a jury trial in regard to Arbitrable Claims.

FibroGen will pay the fees and costs of the arbitrator. The arbitrator shall have the same authority as a court to award equitable relief, damages, costs, and fees (excluding the costs and fees for the arbitrator) as provided by law for the particular claims asserted. The arbitrator shall also have exclusive authority to rule on his or her own jurisdiction, including any objections with respect to the existence, scope, enforceability or validity of the arbitration agreement. Such arbitration shall be final and binding on the parties and shall be the exclusive remedy for Arbitrable Claims.

Arbitration. Executive and the Company mutually agree that any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the employment relationship between Executive and the Company, including any dispute regarding the scope or enforceability of this arbitration provision, shall be settled by individual arbitration administered by Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services (JAMS) in accordance with the JAMS Employment Arbitration Rules and Procedures in effect as of the date of this Agreement (“JAMS Rules”), to the extent the JAMS Rules are consistent with the terms of this provision. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The parties also mutually agree that, except as otherwise required by enforceable law, arbitration shall be the sole and exclusive forum for resolving such disputes (including any dispute with the Company, any related parties, and any of their respective employees, officers, owners or agents, who shall be third-party beneficiaries of this provision), and both parties agree that they are hereby waiving any right to have their disputes resolved in civil litigation by a court or jury trial, including but not limited to any disputes arising under statutes such as Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, or the California Fair Employment and Housing Act. The arbitrator’s decisions on such matters shall be final and binding on the parties to the fullest extent permitted by law. The JAMS Rules are incorporated herein by reference, to the extent they are consistent with the terms of this provision, and may be found at available at https://www.jamsadr.com/rules-employment-arbitration/. The place of arbitration shall be Orange County, California. Any arbitration hereunder shall be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated, or representative action. The Company shall pay the administrative costs and fees directly related to the arbitration, including the fees of the arbitrator, and each party shall otherwise bear its own respective attorneys’ fees and costs, including the costs of any depositions or for expert witnesses, except that the arbitrator shall award the costs and expenses of the arbitration, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, to the prevailing party in such arbitration (if any) as determined by the arbitrator in his or her discretion. Neither a party nor the arbitrator may disclose the existence, content, or results of any arbitration hereunder without the prior written consent of both parties, unless otherwise provided by law. The parties’ agreement to arbitrate does not apply to claims that, pursuant to applicable law, cannot be subject to mandatory arbitration, such as claims relating to workers’ compensation or unemployment insurance benefits; provided that, in the event of a dispute regarding whether, or the extent to which, any dispute is subject to arbitration, the parties agree that no underlying dispute or any facts regarding such dispute shall be submitted to a court until and unless a declaratory judgment is issued by the duly appointed arbitrator that allows a dispute to proceed in court based on a claim by a party that this arbitration provision is unenforceable as a matter of law as to an asserted claim. Moreover, nothing in this Agreement prevents Executive from filing or prosecuting a charge with any government agency (such as the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission) over which such agency has jurisdiction, or from participating in an investigation or proceeding conducted by any such agency. Any matter required to be arbitrated under this Agreement shall be submitted to mediation in a manner agreed to by Executive and the Company. Executive and the Company agree to use mediation to attempt to resolve any such matter prior to filing for arbitration under this Agreement. Executive and the Company will select a mediator agreeable to both parties. The costs of the mediation and fees of the mediator will be borne entirely by the Company. The parties will cooperate with the mediator on mediation arrangements, including time and place for mediation, who will attend or participate, and what information will be exchanged.

Arbitration. The parties agree that any and all disputes, claims, or controversies between the parties to this Agreement including any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to an interpretation, construction, performance or breach of this Agreement, shall be settled by arbitration to be held in Orange County, California administered by the American Arbitration Association in accordance with its then existing Commercial Arbitration Rules. The Federal Arbitration Act ("FAA") shall apply to interpretation of this arbitration provision. The arbitrator may grant injunctions or other relief in such dispute or controversy. The decision of the arbitrator shall be final, conclusive and binding on the parties to the arbitration. Judgment may be entered on the arbitrator's decision in any court having jurisdiction. The parties will pay the costs and expenses of such arbitration in such proportions as the arbitrator shall decide, and each party shall separately pay his own attorneys' fees and expenses. Executive and Employer waive any right to bring or pursue class or representative claims in arbitration. Executive understands that by signing this Agreement, Executive waives any right to bring a class, collective, or representative claim against Employer, and any arbitration will be on behalf of Executive only.

Arbitration. Any controversy, claim or dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement, shall be settled solely and exclusively by a binding arbitration process administered by JAMS/Endispute in Boston, Massachusetts. Such arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the then-existing JAMS/Endispute Rules of Practice and Procedure, with the following exceptions if in conflict: # one arbitrator who is a retired judge shall be chosen by JAMS/Endispute; # each Party to the arbitration will pay one-half of the expenses and fees of the arbitrator, together with other expenses of the arbitration incurred or approved by the arbitrator; and # arbitration may proceed in the absence of any Party if written notice (pursuant to the JAMS/Endispute rules and regulations) of the proceedings has been given to such Party. Each Party shall bear its own attorney’s fees and expenses; provided that the arbitrator may assess the prevailing Party’s fees and costs against the non-prevailing Party as part of the arbitrator’s award. The Parties agree to abide by all decisions and awards rendered in such proceedings. Such decisions and awards rendered by the arbitrator shall be final and conclusive. All such controversies, claims or disputes shall be settled in this manner in lieu of any action at law or equity; provided, however, that nothing in this subsection shall be construed as precluding the bringing of an action for injunctive relief or specific performance as provided in this Agreement. This dispute resolution process and any arbitration hereunder shall be confidential and neither any Party nor the neutral arbitrator shall disclose the existence, contents or results of such process without the prior written consent of all Parties, except where necessary or compelled in a Court to enforce this arbitration provision or an Award from such arbitration or otherwise in a legal proceeding. If JAMS/Endispute no longer exists or is otherwise unavailable, the Parties agree that the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) shall administer the arbitration in accordance with its then-existing rules as modified by this subsection. In such event, all references herein to JAMS/Endispute shall mean AAA. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive and the Company each have the right to resolve any issue or dispute over intellectual property rights by Court action instead of arbitration.

Arbitration. The parties initially shall attempt to resolve by direct negotiation any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement or its breach or interpretation (each, a “Dispute”). For purposes of this negotiation, the Company shall be represented by one or more of its directors appointed by the Board of Directors. If the parties are unable to resolve the Dispute by direct negotiation within 30 days after written notice by one party to the other of the Dispute, either party may initiate a confidential, binding arbitration to resolve the Dispute. All such Disputes shall be arbitrated in Chicago, Illinois pursuant to the arbitration rules of J.A.M.S. Endispute before a single arbitrator. If, at the time of any Dispute, J.A.M.S. Endispute has ceased to exist, all such Disputes shall be arbitrated in Chicago, Illinois pursuant to the arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association before a single arbitrator.) Judgment upon any award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction, and both parties consent and submit to the jurisdiction of such court for purposes of such action. Nothing in this Agreement shall preclude either party from seeking equitable relief from a court of competent jurisdiction. The statute of limitations, estoppel, waiver, laches and similar doctrines, which would otherwise be applicable in any action brought by a party shall be applicable in any arbitration proceeding, and the commencement of an arbitration proceeding shall be deemed the commencement of an action for those purposes. The Federal Arbitration Act shall apply to the construction, interpretation and enforcement of this arbitration provision.

Arbitration. Any controversy involving the construction or application of any terms, covenants or conditions of this agreement, or any claims arising out of any alleged breach of this agreement, will be governed by the rules of the American Arbitration Association and submitted to and settled by final and binding arbitration in Santa Clara County, California[, except that any alleged breach of the Company’s Confidentiality and Assignment of Inventions Agreement shall not be submitted to arbitration and instead the Company may seek all legal and equitable remedies, including without limitation, injunctive relief].

Arbitration. If the parties have not resolved the dispute or controversy by direct negotiations within thirty (30) days of such notice, any party may initiate arbitration as herein provided. All disputes or controversies arising under or in connection with this Agreement which are not resolved by negotiation shall be decided by arbitration in accordance with the Employment Dispute Resolution Rules of the American Arbitration Association, provided, however, that any such arbitration shall be before a single arbitrator selected by agreement of the parties. Judgment upon the award or decision of the arbitrator may be entered and enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction. In the event that the parties cannot agree upon the selection of an arbitrator, the parties agree that the American Arbitration Association in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania will select the arbitrator. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, a party shall not be prohibited or precluded from seeking equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction without first resorting to the dispute resolution provisions of this [Section 9] in circumstances in which a party’s interests or property will otherwise be compromised. It is specifically intended by the parties that if any equitable relief is granted by an arbitrator, said relief may be enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction. The forum of such arbitration shall be in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania to the exclusion of all other jurisdictions.

Any disputes arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, including any question regarding its existence, validity or termination that are not otherwise resolved by the Parties in accordance with Section 18.2 shall be referred to and finally resolved by arbitration under the LCIA Rules, which Rules are deemed to be incorporated by reference in this Section.
