the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper. The parties consent to the jurisdiction and venue of the foregoing courts
and consent that any process or notice of motion or other application to any of said courts or a judge thereof may be served inside

Each of the Company and the Stockholder irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection which it may
now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action, or proceeding brought in such a court and any claim
that suit, action, or proceeding has been brought in an inconvenient forum. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT
MAY HAVE, AND AGREES NOT TO REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING
OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.
