3.           Miscellaneous.


 


(a)          Except
as expressly amended and/or superseded by this Amendment, the Agreement remains and shall remain in full force and effect. This
Amendment shall not constitute an amendment or waiver of any provision of the Agreement, except as expressly set forth herein.
Upon the execution and delivery hereof, the Agreement shall thereupon be deemed to be amended and supplemented as hereinabove set
forth as fully and with the same effect as if the amendments and supplements made hereby were originally set forth in the Agreement.
This Amendment and the Agreement shall each henceforth be read, taken and construed as one and the same instrument, but such amendments
and supplements shall not operate so as to render invalid or improper any action heretofore taken under the Agreement. If and to
the extent there are any inconsistencies between the Agreement and this Amendment with respect to the matters set forth herein,
the terms of this Amendment shall control. References in the Agreement to the Agreement shall be deemed to mean the Agreement as
amended by this Amendment.


 


(b)          This
Amendment, the entire relationship of the parties hereto, and any litigation between the parties (whether grounded in contract,
tort, statute, law or equity) shall be governed by, construed in accordance with, and interpreted pursuant to the laws of the State
of Delaware, without giving effect to its choice of laws principles.


 


(c)          The
parties (i) hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submit to the jurisdiction of the state courts of New York and to the jurisdiction
of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York for the purpose of any suit, action or other proceeding
arising out of or based upon this Agreement, (ii) agree not to commence any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of or
based upon this Amendment except in state courts of New York or the United States District Court for the Southern District of New
York and (iii) hereby waive, and agree not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense, or otherwise, in any such suit, action or
proceeding, any claim that it is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of the above-named courts, that its property is exempt
or immune from attachment or execution, that the suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue
of the suit, action or proceeding is improper or that this Amendment or the subject matter hereof may not be enforced in or by
such court.
