Upon consent of any such assignment or transfer, this EULA and the restrictions herein shall be binding upon those to whom it is assigned or transferred. OSU expressly reserves the right to assign this EULA and to delegate any of its obligations hereunder, in its sole discretion. If any provision of this EULA shall be adjudged by any court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, unenforceable or invalid, that provision shall be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that this Agreement shall otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable, but shall not affect any other term or provision of this EULA or invalidate or render unenforceable such term or provision in any other jurisdiction. Sections 4-8, 13-17 and 20 shall survive termination of this EULA.
