Licensee shall not suffer or permit to be recorded or enforced against the License Area or any portion of the Project any claims, liens or demands and shall promptly pay or cause to be paid any such claim, lien or demand.

6.            Licensor's Limitation of Liability. Neither Licensor nor any Licensor-related Indemnitees shall have any personal liability with respect to any of the provisions of this License or the License Area. If Licensor is in breach or default with respect to Licensor's obligations under this License, Licensee shall look solely to the equity interest of Licensor in the Building for the satisfaction of Licensee's remedies or judgments.

This License shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of California, and the parties agree that the venue for any dispute hereunder shall be heard in the courts of Orange County, California. Licensee acknowledges that Licensor is only granting Licensee a license only and that Licensee has no rights as a lessee by virtue of this License. If any term or portion of this License is held to be unenforceable, then the remainder of this License shall not be affected thereby. No waiver of any breach of any covenant herein shall be deemed a waiver of any preceding or succeeding breach thereof. Subject to the provisions of Section 8, this License shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the parties hereto. In the event of any suit arising out of this License, then the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the other party all costs and expenses related to the suit, including attorneys' fees and other professional fees.

To the extent there is any conflict between this License, any exhibit or any purchase order, proposal or any document delivered to Licensor by Licensee, then this License shall control. This License may not be modified, nor may any obligations or breaches hereof waived, except by written instrument signed by the parties. The obligations of Licensee in Sections 5 and 6 shall survive the termination hereof. This License may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be an original, and all of which together shall be a single instrument.
