The Company has the power to submit, and pursuant to Section 18 of this Agreement, has legally, validly, effectively and irrevocably submitted, to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts provided for in Section 18 hereof, and service of process effected in the manner provided for in Section 18 will be effective to confer valid personal jurisdiction over the Company as provided therein.
