To the extent permitted by applicable law, the parties waive any provision of law which renders any provision of this Agreement invalid or unenforceable in any respect.

1.8Waiver, Amendment

 

Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, no amendment or waiver of this Agreement will be binding unless executed in writing by the party to be bound thereby. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement will constitute a waiver of any other provision nor will any waiver of any provision of this Agreement constitute a continuing waiver unless otherwise expressly provided. A party’s failure or delay in exercising any right under this Agreement will not operate as a waiver of that right. A single or partial exercise of any right will not preclude a party from any other or further exercise of that right or the exercise of any other right.

This Agreement will be governed by and interpreted and enforced in accordance with the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein. Each party irrevocably attorns and submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the Ontario courts situated in the City of Toronto and waives objection to the venue of any proceeding in such court or any argument that such court provides an inconvenient forum.

7.4Amendment to the Fee Amount

 

The parties acknowledge and agree that it may be desirable to increase the Fee Amount from time to time.

Indemnification pursuant to this provision will be in addition to any right of such Persons to indemnification under Section 10.1 hereof. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this Section 11.6 will survive termination of this Agreement. The Service Recipients hereby constitute the Service Providers as trustees for each Person entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Section 11.6 of the covenants of the Service Recipients under this Section 11.6 with respect to such Persons and the Service Providers hereby accept such trust and agree to hold and enforce such covenants on behalf of such Persons.
