    186       a.  Governing Law. This Agreement is governed and interpreted in
    187           accordance with the laws of the State of California without giving
    188           effect to its conflict of laws provisions. The United Nations

    193           to the jurisdiction and venue of such courts.
    194 
    195       b.  Waiver and Severability. The failure of either party to require
    196           performance by the other party of any provision of this Agreement
    197           shall not affect the full right to require such performance at any
    198           time thereafter; nor shall the waiver by either party of a breach of
    199           any provision of this Agreement be taken or held to be a waiver of
    200           the provision itself. Severability. If any provision of this
    201           Agreement is unenforceable or invalid under any applicable law or is
    202           so held by applicable court decision, such unenforceability or
    203           invalidity shall not render this Agreement unenforceable or invalid
    204           as a whole, and such provision shall be changed and interpreted so as
    205           to best accomplish the objectives of such unenforceable or invalid
    206           provision within the limits of applicable law or applicable court
    207           decisions.
    208 
    209       c.  Amendment and Modification. This Agreement and any of its terms and
    210           provisions may only be amended, modified, supplemented or waived in a
