Binding Arbitration. In exchange for the mutual promises contained in this Agreement, and as a condition of Executive’s continued employment with the Company, the Company and Executive agree that any Disputes must be submitted to final and binding arbitration in accordance with the terms of this [Section 18]. Any arbitration proceedings held pursuant to this Agreement, and any state or federal court or other proceeding concerning arbitration under this [Section 18] are expressly subject to, and governed by, (“FAA”). Unless the parties agree otherwise, arbitration will be administered by (“JAMS”) pursuant to its Employment Arbitration Rules & Procedures (http://www.jamsadr.com/rules-employment-arbitration), and Federal Rule of Civil Procedure Rule 68 (http://www.law.cornell.edu/rules/frcp/rule_6); in the case of emergency relief (including a temporary or preliminary injunction) arbitration will be administered pursuant to its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules & Procedures and the Emergency Relief Procedures therein (https://www.jamsadr.com/rules-comprehensive-arbitration/). Unless applicable law requires otherwise and except as provided herein, the arbitrator will have the authority to determine the enforceability, validity and scope of this Section, as well as whether a claim is arbitrable, all of which will be decided under the FAA. The arbitrator may grant any relief that would be available in a court of law except as provided herein. Except as otherwise required under applicable law: # Executive and Company expressly intend and agree that class action, collective action or representative action procedures will not be asserted, nor will they apply, in any arbitration of Disputes pursuant to this Agreement; # Executive and Company agree that each will not assert representative, class or collective action Disputes against the other in arbitration, any civil court or otherwise; and # both Executive and Company will only submit their/its own individual claims in arbitration and will not seek to represent the interests of any other person in the arbitration. Executive and Company expressly waive the right to assert or participate in any class or collective action as a class member against the other regarding any Dispute, whether in a civil court or in arbitration. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the JAMS Rules and the general grant of authority to the arbitrator to determine issues of arbitrability herein, the arbitrator shall have no jurisdiction or authority to compel any class or collective claim, consolidate different arbitration proceedings, to join any other party to an arbitration between Executive and Company, and/or to determine the enforceability or scope of the class and collective action waiver, which shall be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. Unless applicable law requires otherwise, the arbitrator will apply the substantive law of Idaho except for any claim to which federal substantive law would apply. The arbitration will be conducted in Las Vegas, Nevada. The arbitration will be held before a neutral arbitrator, selected pursuant to the JAMS Rules and this Agreement. The arbitrator shall provide the parties with a written decision explaining the arbitrator’s findings and conclusions. The arbitrator shall consider and rule on pre-trial motions, including any preliminary issue of law asserted by any party to be dispositive of any claim or defense, in whole or in part, in the manner that a court would hear and dispose of a motion to dismiss for failure to state a claim or for summary judgment. Unless otherwise prohibited by law, the prevailing party in any arbitration, court action, or other adjudicative proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be reimbursed by the party who does not prevail for its reasonable attorneys’, accountants’, and experts’ fees and related expenses and for the costs of such proceeding. The cost of the arbitrator shall initially be borne equally by the parties, subject to the arbitrator’s discretion to award and/or to apportion reimbursement of such arbitrator fees as part or the “costs” included in any fees award under the law(s) applicable to the claim(s) made in arbitration. In the event that different parties prevail on different issues, the rule set forth in the preceding sentence shall be adjusted to, as closely as reasonably possible, give equitable effect to the underlying intent that a party prevailing on a particular issue shall recover costs for successfully advancing its position on that issue. This Agreement does not prevent either Executive or Company from: # filing a complaint with any securities regulatory agency or authority, any self-regulatory organization, or any other federal or state regulatory authority (“Government Agencies”); # communicating with any Government Agencies or otherwise participating in any investigation or proceeding that may be conducted by any Government Agency without notice to or approval from Company; # receiving an award for information provided to any Government Agencies; or # disclosing any information that Executive has a legally protected right to disclose, including, any whistleblower activity that is protected under any whistleblower provisions of federal, state, or local laws or regulations.

Arbitration. IN CONSIDERATION OF THE EXECUTIVE’S EMPLOYMENT WITH THE COMPANY, ITS PROMISE TO ARBITRATE ALL EMPLOYMENT-RELATED DISPUTES WITH THE EXECUTIVE, AND THE EXECUTIVE’S RECEIPT OF COMPENSATION AND OTHER COMPANY BENEFITS, AT PRESENT AND IN THE FUTURE, THE EXECUTIVE AGREES THAT ANY AND ALL CONTROVERSIES, CLAIMS, OR DISPUTES THAT THE EXECUTIVE MAY HAVE WITH THE COMPANY (INCLUDING ANY COMPANY EMPLOYEE, OFFICER, DIRECTOR, TRUSTEE, OR BENEFIT PLAN OF THE COMPANY, IN THEIR CAPACITY AS SUCH OR OTHERWISE), ARISING OUT OF, RELATING TO, OR RESULTING FROM THE EXECUTIVE’S EMPLOYMENT OR RELATIONSHIP WITH THE COMPANY OR THE TERMINATION OF THE EXECUTIVE’S EMPLOYMENT OR RELATIONSHIP WITH THE COMPANY, INCLUDING ANY BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT OR OF THE OPTION AGREEMENT, SHALL BE SUBJECT TO BINDING ARBITRATION PURSUANT TO THE FEDERAL ARBITRATION ACT (9 U.S.C.

Arbitration. Any dispute or controversy arising under or in connection with this Agreement shall be settled exclusively by arbitration in Portland, Oregon by three arbitrators in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association then in effect. Judgment may be entered on the arbitrators’ award, which award shall be a final and binding determination of the dispute or controversy, in any court having jurisdiction.
The Participant agrees and the Company agrees that any controversy, claim, or dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the breach of any of these terms and conditions, or arising out of or relating to his or her employment relationship with the Company or any of its affiliates, or the termination of such relationship, shall be resolved by binding arbitration before a neutral arbitrator under the rules set forth in the Federal Arbitration Act, except for claims by the Company relating to his or her breach of any of the employee covenants set forth in Paragraphs 5, 6, 7, 8 or 10 above. By way of example only, claims subject to this agreement to arbitrate include claims litigated under federal, state and local statutory or common law, such as the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, including the Civil Rights Act of 1994, the Americans with Disabilities Act, the law of contract and the law of tort. The Participant and the Company agree that such claims may be brought in an appropriate administrative forum, but at the point at which the Participant or the Company seek a judicial forum to resolve the matter, this agreement for binding arbitration becomes effective, and the Participant and the Company hereby knowingly and voluntarily waive any right to have any such dispute tried and adjudicated by a judge or jury. The foregoing not to the contrary, the Company may seek to enforce the employee covenants set forth in Paragraphs 5, 6, 7, 8 or 10 above, in any court of competent jurisdiction.
