at-will employment with Tri-County may only be modified by a
separate written agreement that specifically states intent to make
that specific change and is signed by Employee and Tri-County's
Chief Executive Officer.

of its constituent members, employees, officers, agents,
affiliates, or benefit plans, arising from or in any way related to
Employee's employment by Tri-County, or the termination thereof,
including but not limited to the construction or application of
this Agreement, shall be resolved exclusively by final and binding
single-person arbitration administered by the American Arbitration

as modified to limit any arbitration to 120 days and to limit
discovery to two depositions per side, each no longer than three
hours, and to preclude any written discovery beyond fifteen

accordance with Tri-County's Dispute Resolution Policy, a copy of
which I have been provided with in this application and that such
policy further requires I waive any right to participate in any
class or collective action, either as representative or member and

employee, through a single-party arbitration under the specific
terms and conditions set forth in Tri-County's Dispute Resolution
