or persons. The duties and responsibilities of the Escrow Agent hereunder shall

15.
Applicable Law.
This
Make Good Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with,
the
internal laws of the State of New York. The representations and warranties
contained in this Make Good Agreement shall survive the execution and delivery

legal proceedings concerning the interpretations, enforcement and defense of the
transactions contemplated by this Make Good Agreement shall be commenced
exclusively in the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York,

irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the New York Courts for
the
adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith, and hereby
irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any such proceeding, any claim
that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such New York
Court, or that such proceeding has been commenced in an improper or inconvenient
forum. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process
and consents to process being served in any such proceeding by mailing a copy
thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence
of
delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this
Make Good Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and
sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein
shall
be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted
by law.

brought to enforce or interpret the provisions of this Make Good Agreement,
the
prevailing party shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys' fees from
the other party (unless such other party is the Escrow Agent), which fees may
be
set by the court in the trial of such action or may be enforced in a separate
action brought for that purpose, and which fees shall be in addition to any
other relief that may be awarded.
