8. New Developments. All ideas, inventions, discoveries, concepts, trademarks, or other developments or improvements, whether patentable or not, conceived by Employee, alone or with others, at any time during the term of Employee’s employment, whether or not during working hours or on Employer’s premises, which are within the scope of or related to the business operations of Employer or its Affiliates (“New Developments”), shall be and remain the exclusive property of Employer.

10. Remedies.

A. Employer and Employee hereby acknowledge and agree that the services rendered by Employee to Employer, the information disclosed to Employee during and by virtue of Employee’s employment, and Employee’s commitments and obligations to Employer and its Affiliates herein are of a special, unique and extraordinary character, and that the breach of any provision of this Agreement by Employee will cause Employer irreparable injury and damage, and consequently the Employer shall be entitled to, in addition to all other remedies available to it, injunctive and equitable relief to prevent a breach of Sections 7, 8, 9, 11 and 12 of this Agreement and to secure the enforcement of this Agreement.

B. Except as provided in Section 10.A., the parties agree to submit to final and binding arbitration any dispute, claim or controversy arising between Employee and Employer concerning (1) termination of employment, (2) loss of promotion, (3) sexual or other harassment, (4) failure to accommodate disability or (5) an intentional tort, and waive their right to sue in court and have such claims decided by a judge or jury. Claims subject to arbitration on these five subjects include allegations of unlawful discrimination based on race, sex, religion, age, national origin, disability, and retaliation and any other claim of a violation of a right created or protected by local, state, or federal law. This Agreement does not limit Employee’s right to file a charge with or to assist any administrative agency, including the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.

(i) This Agreement to arbitrate and any resulting arbitration award are enforceable under and subject to the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq. (“FAA”). If the FAA is held not to apply for any reason then Ohio Revised Code Chapter 2711 regarding the enforceability of arbitration agreements and awards will govern this Agreement and the arbitration award.

(ii) (a) All of a party’s claims must be presented at a single arbitration hearing. Any claim not raised at the arbitration hearing is waived and released. The arbitration hearing will take place in Cincinnati, Ohio.

(b) The arbitration process will be governed by the National Rules for the Resolution of Employment Disputes of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) except to the extent they are modified by this Agreement.

(c) Employee has had an opportunity to review the AAA rules and the requirements that Employee must pay a filing fee for which the Employer has agreed to split on an equal basis.

(d) The arbitrator will be selected from a panel of arbitrators chosen by the AAA in White Plains, New York, the arbitrators from such panel being those who are also members of AAA’s labor management panel and who have at least fifteen years of experience as an arbitrator. After the filing of a Request for Arbitration, the AAA will send simultaneously to Employer and Employee an identical list of names of five persons chosen from the panel. Each party will have 10 days from the transmittal date in which to strike up to two names, number the remaining names in order of preference and return the list to the AAA.

(e) Any pre-hearing disputes will be presented to the arbitrator for expeditious, final and binding resolution.

(f) The award of the arbitrator will be in writing and will set forth each issue considered and the arbitrator’s finding of fact and conclusions of law as to each such issue.

(g) The remedy and relief that may be granted by the arbitrator to Employee are limited to lost wages, benefits, cease and desist and affirmative relief, compensatory, liquidated and punitive damages and reasonable attorney’s fees, and will not include reinstatement or promotion. If the arbitrator would have awarded reinstatement or promotion, but for the prohibition in this Agreement, the arbitrator may award front pay. The arbitrator may assess to either party, or split, the arbitrator’s fees and expenses and the cost of the transcript, but each party will bear any cost for its witnesses and proof.

(h) Employer and Employee recognize that a primary benefit each derives from the arbitration is avoiding delay and costs normally associated with litigation. Therefore, neither party will be entitled to conduct any discovery prior to the arbitration hearing except that: (i) Employer will furnish Employee with copies of all non-privileged documents in Employee’s personnel file; (ii) if the claim is for discharge, Employee will furnish Employer with records of earnings and benefits relating to Employee’s subsequent employment (including self-employment) and all documents relating to Employee’s efforts to obtain subsequent employment; (iii) the parties will exchange copies of all documents they intend to introduce as evidence at the arbitration hearing at least 10 days prior to such hearing; (iv) Employee will be allowed (at Employee’s expense) to take the dispositions, for a period not to exceed four hours each of two representatives of Employer, and Employer will be allowed (at its expense) to depose Employee for a period not to exceed four hours; and (v) Employer or Employee may ask the arbitrator to grant additional discovery to the extent permitted by AAA rules upon a showing that such discovery is necessary.

(i) Nothing herein will prevent either party from taking the disposition of any witness where the sole purpose for taking the disposition is to use the disposition in lieu of the witness testifying at the hearing and the witness is, in good faith, unavailable to testify in person at the hearing due to poor health, residency and employment more than 50 miles from the hearing site, conflicting travel plans or other comparable reason.

(iii) Arbitration must be requested in writing no later than 6 months from the date of the party’s knowledge of the matter disputed by the claim. A party’s failure to initiate arbitration within the time limits herein will be considered a waiver and release by that party with respect to any claim subject to arbitration under this Agreement.

(iv) Employer and Employee consent that judgment upon the arbitration award may be entered in any federal or state that has jurisdiction.

(v) Except as provided in Section 10.A., neither party will commence or pursue any litigation on any claim that is or was subject to arbitration under this Agreement.

(vi) All aspects of any arbitration procedure under this Agreement, including the hearing and the record of the proceedings, are confidential and will not be open to the public, except to the extent the parties agree otherwise in writing, or as may be appropriate in any subsequent proceedings between the parties, or as may otherwise be appropriate in response to a governmental agency or legal process.

11. Covenant Not to Compete. For purposes of this Section 11, the term “Employer” shall mean, collectively, Employer and each of its Affiliates. During the Employee’s employment by Employer and for a period of two-years following termination of Employee’s employment with Employer for any reason Employee will not engage in any business (whether as a principal, partner, joint venturer, agent, employee, salesperson, consultant, director or officer) offering services related to Employer’s then existing business or the products or services being researched or developed by Employer about which Employee has or had Information, where such position would involve Employee: (A) in any business activity in competition with Employer, including but not limited to businesses that provide: (i) billing and/or billing related systems and/or services to third parties (including wireless, wireline, cable and other communication businesses); (ii) outsourced customer management services (including but not limited to product information or technical support, customer retention, sales or account management and/or human resources and benefits administration); or (iii) employee care services (including but not limited to human resources and employee benefits consulting); or (B) in any position with any customer of Employer where such position relates to the services that Employer does or did provide to such customer. This restriction will be limited to the geographical area where Employer is doing business at the time of termination of Employee’s employment.

During Employee’s employment by Employer and for a period of two-years following termination of Employee’s employment with Employer for any reason, Employee will not (except on behalf of Employer or as a private contractor), directly or indirectly, or through any person or entity, divert, call on, contact, solicit, or communicate with (i) any of Employer’s customers from which Employer generated revenue during the two years preceding the termination of Employee’s employment or (ii) any prospective customers known to Employee during the two-year period prior to the termination of Employee’s employment, in each case, to the extent such contract, solicitation or communication is related to Employer’s then existing business or products or services being researched or developed of which Employee possessed any Information.

During Employee’s employment by Employer and for a period of two years after the terminations of Employee’s employment with Employer, Employee will not, directly or indirectly, induce or seek to induce, any employee of Employer to terminate his or her employment relationship with Employer.

In case any one or more of the provisions of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or other enforceability shall not affect any other provisions hereof, and this Agreement shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions have never been contained herein.
