Arbitration will be conducted by one arbitrator, mutually selected by the Parties; provided, however, that if the Parties fail to mutually select an arbitrator within 15 business days after the contested portion of the indemnification claim is submitted to arbitration, then the arbitrator shall be selected by JAMS in accordance with its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures then in effect.

In any event, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby, and such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall only apply as to such Party in the specific jurisdiction where such final determination shall have been made.
7.10 Interpretation. The Article and Section headings contained in this Agreement are solely for the purpose of reference and shall not in any way affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. The word "including" shall be deemed to mean "including without limitation."
