(j) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas without regard to the principles of conflict of laws. The parties further agree that any action between them shall be heard exclusively in federal or state court sitting in the Collin County, Texas.
(k) Severability. If any provision of this Agreement shall be invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remainder of this Agreement in that jurisdiction or the validity or enforceability of any provision of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction.
(l) Survival. Unless this Agreement is terminated under Section 7(n), the representations and warranties of the Company and the Investor contained in Sections 3 and 4, the agreements and covenants set forth in Sections 5 and 7 shall survive the Closing for a period of twelve (12) months following the later of the date on which (x) the Note is repaid in full or converted into Note Conversion Shares in their entirety as provided in the Transaction Documents or (y) the Warrants are exercised in full; provided, however, that such representations and warranties shall in no way be affected by any investigation or knowledge of the subject matter thereof made by or on behalf of the Investor or the Company.

(n) Termination. In the event that the Closing shall not have occurred on or before July 1, 2022 due to the Company’s or the Investor’s failure to satisfy the conditions set forth in Sections 5 and 6 above (and the non-breaching party’s failure to waive such unsatisfied condition(s)), the non-breaching party shall have the option to terminate this Agreement with respect to such breaching party by providing five (5) days’ written notice to such breaching party of the non-breaching party’s intent to terminate this Agreement (and if the non-breaching party is the Buyer, to also withdraw its subscription) at the close of business on such date without liability of any party to any other party.
