6.5 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, then that provision will be deemed modified to the extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable, and if it cannot be so modified, then it shall be deemed deleted and the remainder of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.
6.6 Interpretation. The headings and titles in this Agreement are for convenience only and shall have no significance in interpreting or otherwise affect the meaning of this Agreement. The Parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement and all other agreements or instruments contemplated hereby to which the Parties are or will be a party. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement and such ancillary agreements shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the Parties and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any Party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement or such ancillary agreement. The words “include,” “includes” or “including” (or any other tense or variation of the word “include”) in this Agreement shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.” The words “hereof,” “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import, when used in this Agreement, shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement. The terms contained in this Agreement are applicable to the singular as well as to the plural forms of such terms and to the masculine as well as the feminine and neuter genders of such terms. The Parties intend that each representation, warranty, and covenant contained herein shall have independent significance. If any Party has breached any representation, warranty, or covenant contained herein in any respect, the fact that there exists another representation, warranty, or covenant relating to the same subject matter (regardless of the relative levels of specificity) that the Party has not breached shall not detract from or mitigate the fact that the Party is in breach of the first representation, warranty, or covenant. References herein to the “knowledge” of a Party, shall mean the knowledge of such Party and any of its officers or management level personnel, as a prudent business person, could have obtained after making reasonable inquiry with respect to the particular matter in question, including reasonable inquiry of any other appropriate employees and contractors of such Party.
6.7 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed, construed, and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to any provision thereof that would result in the application of the laws of another jurisdiction.

EACH PARTY HEREBY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT TO ANY ACTION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. EACH PARTY (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT, OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY(IES) WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTY(IES) HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION. ALL ACTIONS OR PROCEEDINGS WITH RESPECT TO, ARISING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY IN CONNECTION WITH, OUT OF, RELATED TO OR FROM THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE EXCLUSIVELY LITIGATED IN COURTS HAVING SITUS IN HOUSTON, XXXXXX COUNTY, TEXAS.
