Dispute Resolution and Arbitration. (a) Except as provided in subparagraph (b) below, any and all justiciable controversies, claims or disputes that you may have against the Company and/or the Company may have against you arising out of, relating to, or resulting from your employment with the Company, or the separation of your employment with the Company, including claims arising out of or related to this Agreement, shall be subject to mandatory arbitration (“Mandatory Arbitration”) as set forth herein. The mutual obligations by the Company and you to arbitrate differences provide mutual consideration for this Mandatory Arbitration provision. Prior to commencing arbitration, if any such matter cannot be settled through negotiation, then the parties agree first to try in good faith to settle the dispute by mediation through a mediator selected by the mutual agreement of both parties. If any such matters cannot be resolved by mediation within 30 days of the Company or you requesting mediation (or such longer period as to which you and the Company agree in writing), they shall be finally resolved by final and binding arbitration. The parties shall select a neutral arbitrator and/or arbitration sponsoring organization by mutual agreement. If the parties are not able to mutually agree to an arbitrator and/or arbitration sponsoring organization, the arbitration will be held under the auspices of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), and except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, shall be in accordance with the then current Employment Arbitration Rules of the AAA, which may be found at ▇▇▇.▇▇▇.▇▇▇ or by using an internet search engine to locate “AAA Employment Arbitration Rules”). The arbitrator, and not any federal, state or local court or agency, shall have the exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this Mandatory Arbitration provision. Subject to remedies to which a party to the arbitration may be entitled under applicable law, each party shall pay the fees of its own attorneys, the expenses of its witnesses and all other expenses connected with presenting its case.

Dispute Resolution and Arbitration. (a) If any dispute arises between the Executive and Sempra Energy or any of its Affiliates, including, but not limited to, disputes relating to or arising out of this Agreement, disputes relating to or arising out of the Executive’s employment and/or the termination thereof, and/or disputes regarding the interpretation, enforceability, or validity of this Agreement (“Arbitrable Dispute”), the Executive and Sempra Energy mutually agree to waive their respective rights to resolution of disputes through litigation in a judicial forum and agree to resolve any Arbitrable Dispute through final and binding arbitration as set forth below, except as prohibited by law. Arbitration shall be the exclusive remedy for any Arbitrable Dispute. Accordingly, this agreement to arbitrate applies with respect to all Arbitrable Disputes, whether initiated by Executive or Sempra Energy. Any Arbitrable Dispute will be decided by an arbitrator through individual arbitration and not by way of court or jury trial. Sempra Energy and the Executive waive any right to a jury trial or a court bench trial. (b) Sempra Energy and the Executive agree to bring any dispute in arbitration in an individual capacity only: Sempra Energy and the Executive hereby waive any right for any dispute to be brought, maintained, heard, decided or arbitrated as a class and/or collective action and the arbitrator will have no authority to hear or preside over any such action (“Class Action Waiver”). The Executive understands and agrees that the Executive and Sempra Energy are waiving the right to pursue or have a dispute resolved as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective or representative proceeding. To the extent the Class Action Waiver is determined to be invalid, unenforceable, or void, any class and/or collective action must proceed in a court of law and not in arbitration. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Executive and Sempra Energy (1) agree not to bring a representative action on behalf of others under the Private Attorneys General Act of 2004 (“PAGA”), California Labor Code § 2698 et seq., in any court or in arbitration, and (2) agree that, for any claim brought on a private attorney general basis, including under the California PAGA, any such dispute shall be resolved in arbitration on an individual basis only (i.e., to resolve whether the Executive has personally been aggrieved or subject to any violations of l...

The Parties shall meet at a mutually acceptable time and place within fifteen (15) days and thereafter as often as they reasonably determine to be necessary or appropriate to exchange relevant information and to attempt to resolve the dispute. All negotiations and communications pursuant to this Section 6.19(a) shall be treated and maintained by the Parties as confidential information and shall be treated as compromise and settlement negotiations for purposes of the Federal Rules of Evidence. Any proposed resolution of a dispute under this Agreement must be approved on behalf of the Partnership by the Conflicts Committee of the Board of Directors of MLP GP before it is finalized. If the matter is not resolved within 30 days after the initial meeting of the Parties, or such longer period as may be mutually agreed upon, either Party may initiate arbitration in accordance with Section 6.19(b). (b) Any disputes hereunder, including the inability of the Parties to agree to an adjustment to the Services Reimbursements pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.1, must be resolved through the use of binding arbitration using three arbitrators, in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association, as supplemented to the extent necessary to determine any procedural appeal questions by the Federal Arbitration Act (Title 9 of the United States Code). If there is any inconsistency between this Section and the Commercial Arbitration Rules or the Federal Arbitration Act, the terms of this Section 6.19 will control the rights and obligations of the Parties. Arbitration must be initiated within the applicable time limits set forth in this Agreement and not thereafter or if no time limit is given, within the time period allowed by the applicable statute of limitations.

Judgment upon the award so rendered may be entered in any court having jurisdiction or application may be made to such court for judicial acceptance of any award so rendered and an order of enforcement, as the case may be. Whether a claim, dispute or other matter in question would be barred by the applicable statute of limitations, which also shall apply to any arbitration under this section, shall be determined by binding arbitration pursuant to this section. 20.3 Notwithstanding anything contained in this Article 20, either Party may seek preliminary or injunctive measures or relief in any competent court having jurisdiction.
Dispute Resolution and Arbitration. In the event that any dispute arises between the Company and the Executive regarding or relating to this Agreement and/or any aspect of the Executive’s employment relationship with the Company, AND IN LIEU OF LITIGATION AND A TRIAL BY JURY, the parties consent to resolve such dispute through mandatory arbitration in New York City under the then prevailing rules of the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services (“JAMS”), before a single arbitrator mutually agreed to by the parties, or, if an arbitrator has not been agreed upon by the 60th day of the demand for arbitration by either party, appointed by JAMS. The parties hereby consent to the entry of judgment upon award rendered by the arbitrator in any court of competent jurisdiction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, should adequate grounds exist for seeking immediate injunctive or immediate equitable relief, any party may seek and obtain such relief. The parties hereby consent to the exclusive jurisdiction in the state and Federal courts of or in the State of New York for purposes of seeking such injunctive or equitable relief as set forth above. The parties acknowledge and agree that, in connection with any such arbitration and regardless of outcome, (a) each party shall pay all of its own costs and expenses, including without limitation its own legal fees and expenses, and (b) joint expenses shall be borne equally among the parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the arbitrator may cause the losing party to pay to the winning party (each as determined by the arbitrator consistent with its decision on the merits of the arbitration) an amount equal to any reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the winning party with respect to such arbitration (as may be equitably determined by the arbitrator).
