The arbitrator will be instructed to make a finding as to which Party is the substantially prevailing party, and that Party shall be entitled to reimbursement of its reasonable legal fees and costs, which fees shall be determined by the arbitrator. The arbitrator shall also award interest at no less than the statutory rate on any fee award running from the date on which the fees are determined to be owed. By signing this agreement, the Parties acknowledge understanding the written rules and procedures for streamlined JAMS arbitrations that are available at xxx.xxxxxxx.xxx/xxxxx-xxxxxxxxxxx- arbitration. Any party may seek injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to the extent necessary to preserve the status quo during the pendency of final resolution of a Dispute or for any actions in aid of the aforesaid JAMS arbitration, pursuant to Section 4.7 or to confirm or reject the JAMS arbitral award. The statute(s) of limitation applicable to any Dispute shall be tolled upon initiation of the Dispute resolution procedures under this Section 6.4 and shall remain tolled until the Dispute is resolved under this Section 6.4. However, tolling shall cease if the aggrieved Party does not file a demand for arbitration of the Dispute with JAMS within 30 days after good-faith negotiations have been terminated by either Party. The parties, their representatives and participants, and the arbitrator shall hold the existence, contents, and results of the arbitration in confidence, except to the limited extent necessary to enforce a final settlement agreement or to obtain or enforce a judgment on an arbitration decision and award.
6.5Entire Agreement.

6.8Judicial Interpretation; Headings. Should any provision of this Agreement require judicial interpretation, it is agreed that a court interpreting or construing the same shall not apply a presumption that the provisions hereof shall be more strictly construed against any Party by reason of the rule of construction that a document is to be construed more strictly against the Party who itself or through its agent prepared the same, it being agreed that both Parties have participated in the preparation of this Agreement.

6.10Delays or Omissions. No delay or omission to exercise any right, power, or remedy accruing to a Party upon any breach or default of the other Party shall impair any such right, power, or remedy of such non-breaching or non-defaulting Party, nor shall it be construed to be a waiver of any such breach or default or of any similar breach or default thereafter occurring; nor shall any waiver of any single breach or default be deemed a waiver of any other breach or default theretofore or thereafter occurring. Any waiver, permit, consent, or approval of any kind on the part of a Party of any breach or default under this Agreement, or any waiver on the part of a Party of any provisions or conditions of this Agreement, must be in writing and shall be effective only to the extent specifically set forth in such writing. All remedies, either under this Agreement or by law or otherwise afforded to any Party, shall be cumulative and not alternative.
