Lender, and any and all other claims of Borrower against Lender of any kind, shall be brought only in the General Court of Justice of North Carolina sitting in Durham County, North Carolina or the United States District Court for the Middle District of North Carolina, and each consents to the jurisdiction of an such court, and waives any and all rights the party may have to object to the jurisdiction of any such court, or to transfer or change the venue of any such action or proceeding, including, without limitation, any objection to venue or request for change in venue based on the doctrine of forum non conveniens; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall limit the right of Lender to bring proceedings against Borrower in the courts of any other jurisdiction. Borrower consents to service of process in any action or proceeding brought against it by Lender, by personal delivery, or by mail addressed as set forth in this Amendment or by any other method permitted by law.  If the jury waiver set forth in Section 9.20 in the Loan Agreement, as amended hereby, is not enforceable, then any dispute, controversy, claim, action or similar proceeding arising out of or relating to this Amendment, the Loan Documents or any of the transactions contemplated therein shall be settled by final and binding arbitration held in Durham County, North Carolina in accordance with the then current Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association by one arbitrator appointed in accordance with those rules.

Unless and until the arbitrator decides that one party is to pay for all (or a share) of such costs and expenses, both parties shall share equally in the payment of the arbitrator’s fees as and when billed by the arbitrator.

This Amendment, the Loan Agreement, , as amended hereby, any prior written amendments to the Loan Agreement signed by Lender and Borrower, and the other written documents and agreements between Lender and Borrower set forth in full all of the representations and agreements of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior discussions, representations, agreements and understandings between the parties with respect to the subject hereof.  Except as herein expressly amended, all of the terms and provisions of the Loan Agreement, as amended hereby, and all other documents and agreements between Lender and Borrower shall continue in full force and effect and the same are hereby ratified and confirmed. This Amendment may be executed in multiple counterparts, by different parties signing separate counterparts, and all of the same taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.
