Each party shall bear its own costs associated with the meeting and in no event shall either party be liable to the other for any costs or expenses incurred as a result of such meeting.

(b) Arbitration. Except as provided in Paragraph 10(c) with respect to injunctive proceedings, and Paragraph 10(a) with respect to informal dispute resolution, all controversies, disputes or claims arising between the parties arising out of or related to this promotion shall be submitted promptly for arbitration to be conducted in Orlando, Florida, and administered by the American Arbitration Association. Such arbitration proceedings shall be resolved by a single arbitrator selected by mutual agreement of the parties.
