claim, at the sole cost and expense of REAL D, or (iii) terminate this Agreement upon not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice.

 

10.6         Injunctive Relief. It is understood and agreed that, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, any breach of Section 6 or Section 8 by either party may cause irreparable damage for which recovery of money damages would be inadequate, and that the non-breaching party will therefore be entitled to seek timely injunctive relief from a court of competent jurisdiction without the requirement of posting a bond to protect such party’s rights under this Agreement in addition to any and all remedies available at law.

 

10.7         Applicable Law; Venue. This Agreement is to be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of California, excluding that body of law pertaining to conflict of laws. Any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement may be brought in the state or federal courts located within Los Angeles County in the State of California, and the parties irrevocably agree to the jurisdiction and venue of such courts for such purposes.

 

10.8         Notices. All notices, consents, waivers, and other communications intended to have legal effect under this Agreement must be in writing, must be delivered to the other party at the address set forth on the signature page hereof by personal delivery, by registered or certified mail (postage pre-paid), by an internationally recognized overnight courier or via facsimile with verified receipt of transmission, or via email, and will be effective upon receipt (or when delivery is refused). Each party may change its address for receipt of notices by giving notice of the new address to the other party.

 

10.9         Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is unenforceable or invalid under any applicable law or is so held by applicable court decision, such unenforceability or invalidity will not render this Agreement unenforceable or invalid as a whole, and such provision will be changed and interpreted so as to best accomplish the objectives of such unenforceable or invalid provision within the limits of applicable law or applicable court decisions.

 

10.10         Jointly Drafted; Review by Counsel. The parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement and have had the opportunity to review this Agreement with counsel of their choosing. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement.

 

10.11         Entire Agreement; Waiver. This Agreement, together with the Schedules hereto, all of which are hereby incorporated by reference, constitutes the entire agreement of the parties regarding its subject matter. It supersedes all prior or contemporaneous understandings, agreements, or other communications between the parties, oral or written, regarding such subject matter, including without limitation both the Prior License Agreement, as well as that certain Letter of Intent previously entered into by and between REAL D and Licensee in May 2008. Neither this Agreement nor the Schedules can be altered, amended or modified except in writing executed by both parties. The failure of a party to enforce any provision of this Agreement shall not be construed to be a waiver of the right of such party to thereafter enforce that provision or any other provision or right.
