discovery pursuant to Cal. Code Civ. Proc. sec. 1283.05 (including all of the CAA's other

under Code of Civil Procedure Section 631.8 shall apply and be observed. Resolution of

at law and an experienced employment law arbitrator. The arbitrator shall be mutually
selected by the Parties. The Arbitrator shall have the power to award all legal relief
available in a court of law, including any and all damages that may be available for any

complete, and exclusive statement of the terms of the Parties' agreements regarding this
subject. This Agreement supersedes all other prior and contemporaneous agreements
and statements related to the resolution of Arbitrable Claims, whether written or oral,
express or implied, on this subject, and it may not be contradicted by evidence of any
prior or contemporaneous statements or agreements. To the extent that the practices,
policies, or procedures of Employer, now or in the future, apply to Employee and are
inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall
control.
9. Amendments; Waivers. This Agreement may not be amended except by
an instrument in writing, signed by Employee and Employer. No failure to exercise and
no delay in exercising any right, remedy, or power under this Agreement shall operate as
a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, or power
under this Agreement preclude any other or further exercise thereof, or the exercise of
any other right, remedy, or power provided herein or by law or in equity.

to be invalid, unenforceable, or void, the remainder of this Agreement shall remain in full
force and effect. In addition, the Parties authorize the Arbitrator or court to add to or
revise the language of this Arbitration Agreement in order to make the provision complete
and lawful, so as to effectuate to the maximum extent possible the Parties' mutual intent
to have all disputes subject to this provision be resolved solely by final and binding
arbitration.
