Arbitration. Employee and the Company agree to submit to mandatory binding arbitration, in Boston, Massachusetts, any and all claims arising out of or related to this Agreement and Employee’s employment with the Company and the termination thereof, except that each party may, at its or his option, seek injunctive relief in court related to the improper use, disclosure or misappropriation of a party’s proprietary, confidential or trade secret information.

However, Employee and the Company agree that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, arbitration shall be the exclusive remedy for the subject matter of such administrative claims.
