- Exclusive Forum for Corporate Claims: The Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or the federal district court for the District of Delaware if the Court of Chancery lacks jurisdiction) is designated as the sole and exclusive forum for derivative actions, fiduciary duty claims, and claims arising under Delaware General Corporation Law or the Company's charter.
