Governing Law; Disputes. This Agreement will be interpreted in accordance with California law, including all matters of construction, validity, performance and enforcement, without giving effect to any principles of conflict of laws. Any dispute or proceeding concerning this Agreement will be resolved by binding arbitration to be held in Orange County, California. Any party may demand arbitration through written notice sent by certified mail to the other (an "Arbitration Demand"). Within fifteen (15) days after the date that the Arbitration Demand is first mailed, each of the parties will confer to select a mutually acceptable arbitrator from the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Service ("JAMS"). If the arbitrator so selected is unavailable, the parties will confer to select another arbitrator. If the parties cannot mutually agree to the selection of an arbitrator, or if one party refuses to participate in the selection process, JAMS will appoint an arbitrator. The arbitrator will be governed by the provisions of this Agreement rather than the rules of JAMS.

All fees and expenses of the arbitration will be paid equally by the parties participating in the arbitration. At the conclusion of the arbitration, the arbitrator will award the prevailing party reasonable costs and Attorneys' Fees, including all arbitration costs. If the arbitration award is made, the prevailing party may convert the award into a judgment and execute upon that judgment.
