 5.8 Governing Law; Disputes. This Agreement shall be subject to and governed
by the laws of the State of Texas, excluding any conflicts-of-law rule or principle that might refer the construction or interpretation of this Agreement to the Laws of another state. The Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that Section 6.2(b)

illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of Law or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions
