jurisdiction of any such court or from any legal process commenced in such
courts (whether through service of notice, attachment prior to judgment,
attachment in aid of execution of judgment, execution of judgment or otherwise),
(c) that the suit, action or proceeding in any such court is brought in an
inconvenient forum, (d) that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is
improper, (e) that this Agreement or the subject matter hereof may not be
enforced in or by such courts or (f) any right to a trial by jury which is
hereby waived. Each party hereto agrees that process in any such suit, action or
proceeding may be served on such party anywhere in the world, whether within or
without the jurisdiction of such courts and that service of process on such
party as provided in Section 5.04 above shall be deemed effective service of
process on such party.
