7.10 Limited Liability: The State shall not waive and intends to assert available NRS Chapter 41 liability limitations in all cases. NOA/Contract liability of both parties shall not be subject to punitive damages.

7.11 Waiver of Breach: A failure to assert any right or remedy available to a party under the NOA/Contract, or a waiver of the rights or remedies available to a party by a course of dealing or otherwise shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any other right or remedy under the NOA/Contract, unless such waiver is contained in a writing signed by the waiving party.

7.12 Severability: If any provision contained in the NOA/Contract is held to be unenforceable by a court of law or equity, the NOA/Contract shall be construed as if such provision did not exist and the non-enforceability of such provision shall not be held to render any other provision or provisions of the NOA/Contract unenforceable.

7.13 Assignment/Delegation: To the extent that any assignment of any right under the NOA/Contract changes the duty of either party, increases the burden or risk involved, impairs the chances of obtaining the performance of the NOA/Contract, attempts to operate as a novation, or includes a waiver or abrogation of any defense to payment by State, such offending portion of the assignment shall be void, and shall be a breach of the NOA/Contract. No duties of either party may be delegated without written consent by the other party, and any such consent does not in any way affect the liability of the delegating party, unless the writing so states.

7.14 Force Majeure: Neither party shall be deemed to be in violation of this NOA/Contract if it is prevented from performing any of its obligations hereunder due to strikes, failure of public transportation, civil or military authority, act of public enemy, accidents, fires, explosions, or acts of God, including, without limitation, earthquakes, floods, winds, or storms. In such an event the intervening cause shall not be through the fault of the party asserting such an excuse, and the excused party is obligated to promptly perform in accordance with the terms of the NOA/Contract after the intervening cause ceases.

7.15 Governing Law; Jurisdiction: This NOA/Contract and the rights and obligations of the parties hereto shall be governed by, and construed according to, the laws of the State of Nevada, including, without limitation, Nevada's UCC (NRS Chapter 104) in effect on the date of the NOA/Contract. The parties consent to the jurisdiction and venue of the First Judicial District Court, Carson City, Nevada for enforcement of the NOA/Contract.
