The substantive laws of Minnesota and the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Minnesota will be applicable hereto on the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The validity, enforceability, construction, and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Minnesota, without regard to any conflict-of-law or choice-of-law rules. I irrevocably waive the right, if any, to have the laws other than the State of Minnesota apply to this Agreement. The Dakota County District Court or the United States District Court for the District of Minnesota will have exclusive jurisdiction and venue over any disputes between me and Skyline for the purposes of any action arising out of or related to Skyline’s or my obligations hereunder, including specifically (but without limiting the generality of the foregoing), actions for temporary equitable relief and permanent equitable relief. Despite the fact that I am a Canadian citizen and reside in Ontario, I hereby (a) waive any objection that I might have now or hereafter to the foregoing jurisdiction and venue of any such litigation, action or proceeding, (b) irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of any such court set forth above in any such litigation, action or proceeding, and (c) waive any claim or defense of inconvenient forum. Skyline and I hereby consent to service of process by registered mail, return receipt requested, at Skyline’s or my last known address (as modified by written notice of a party from time to time) and expressly waive the benefit of any contrary provision of law.
