of this Section, any modification of the Portfolio Package shall be

deems that you have breached any part of this Agreement, including,
without limitation, any warranty or obligation set forth in Section
7,

transmitted by RXPortfolio’s Equipment,

this Agreement shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal
or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceable
shall not affect any other provision hereof, and this Agreement shall

any other provision.

21. ARBITRATION AND WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.
21.1. Any and all disputes as to
the interpretation of or any performance under this Agreement which
