7. General Provisions.
(a) Governing Law. This Agreement is to be construed in accordance with and governed by the internal laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to any choice of law rule that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the internal laws of the State of Delaware to the rights and duties of the parties. Each Party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the State of California, County of Los Angeles, for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper. Each Party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to such Party at the address set forth in Section 7(d) and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO, AND AGREES NOT TO REQUEST A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.
(b) Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect without being impaired or invalidated in any way, and the parties agree to replace any invalid provision with a valid provision which most closely approximates the intent and economic effect of the invalid provision.
(c) Waiver. The waiver by either party of a breach of or default under any provision of this Agreement shall not be effective unless in writing and shall not be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach of or default under the same or any other provision of this Agreement. Further, any failure or delay on the part of either party to exercise or avail itself of any right or remedy that it has or may have hereunder shall not operate as a waiver of any such right or remedy or preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other right or remedy.
(d) Notices. Any notices required or permitted hereunder shall be given to the appropriate party at the address specified below or at such other address as the party may specify in writing pursuant to this Section 7(d). Such notice shall be deemed given: (i) if delivered personally, upon delivery as evidenced by delivery records; (ii) if sent by email, upon confirmation of receipt; (iii) if sent by certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, five (5) days after the date of mailing; of (iv) if sent by nationally recognized express courier, one (1) Business Day after date of delivery with such courier.
