Disputes are included in this Agreement regardless of whether they have already accrued or will accrue in the future to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. Disputes do not include: (i) claims that, as a matter of federal, state or local law, the parties cannot agree to arbitrate, on a pre-dispute basis or otherwise (unless such claims are preempted by federal law); (ii) claims within the jurisdictional limitation of small claims courts of the state where the claim is submitted for resolution; (iii) claims for worker's compensation benefits; (iv) claims for unemployment insurance compensation benefits; and (v) claims for sexual harassment and sexual assault arising under federal, state, or local law, unless the Executive elects to arbitrate these claims at the time the dispute arises. If a claim includes Disputes as defined in this Agreement and also includes a claim that is excluded from the term Dispute, the parties agree that all Disputes will be arbitrated pursuant to the terms of this Agreement before commencement of litigation of claims excluded from arbitration to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. Nothing in this Agreement shall be interpreted to mean that employees are precluded from filing complaints with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the National Labor Relations Board, or any similar federal, state or local agency.
