(b)Jurisdiction and Venue. The Company agrees that any suit, action or proceeding with respect to this Amendment or any judgment entered by any court in respect thereof may be brought initially in the federal or state courts in Houston, Texas or in the courts of its own corporate domicile and irrevocably submits to the non- exclusive jurisdiction of each such court for the purpose of any such suit, action, proceeding or judgment. This Section 4(b) is for the benefit of the Holder only and, as a result, the Holder shall not be prevented from taking proceedings in any other courts with jurisdiction. Nothing herein shall in any way be deemed to limit the ability of the Holder to serve any such process or summonses in any other manner permitted by applicable law. The Company irrevocably waives to the fullest extent permitted by law any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the
laying of the venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Amendment and hereby further irrevocably waives to the fullest extent permitted by law any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. A final judgment (in respect of which time for all appeals has elapsed) in any such suit, action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in any court to the jurisdiction of which the Company is or may be subject, by suit upon judgment.
(c)WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE HOLDER AND THE COMPANY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AMENDMENT.
SECTION 5.Miscellaneous.
(a)No Waiver. Except as expressly stated herein, nothing contained herein shall be deemed to constitute a waiver of compliance with any term or condition contained in the Warrant or constitute a course of conduct or dealing among the parties. Except as expressly stated herein, the Holder reserves all rights, privileges and remedies under the Warrant. Except as amended hereby, the Warrant remains unmodified and in full force and effect. All references to the Warrant, including in the Term Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document (as defined in the Term Loan Agreement), shall be deemed to be references to the Warrant as amended hereby.
(b)Severability. If any provision of this Amendment becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, unenforceable or void, portions of such provision, or such provision in its entirety, to the extent necessary, shall be severed from this Amendment, and such illegal, unenforceable or void provision shall be replaced with a valid and enforceable provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the same economic, business and other purposes of the illegal, unenforceable or void provision. The balance of this Amendment shall be enforceable in accordance with its terms.
(c)Titles and Subtitles. The titles and subtitles used in this Amendment are used for convenience only and are not to be considered in construing or interpreting this Amendment.
