irrevocably and unconditionally agrees (a) to be subject to the jurisdiction of
the courts of the State of Delaware and of the federal courts sitting in the

to service of process in the State of Delaware, to appoint and maintain an agent
in the State of Delaware as such party's agent for acceptance of legal process,
and (ii) that service of process may also be made on such party by prepaid

different parties on separate counterparts), each of which shall be an original,
but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
