    (h) This
      Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with

      proceeding or claim against him arising out of or relating in any way to this
      letter agreement (a “Proceeding”)
      shall

      for the Southern District of New York, and irrevocably submits to the

      to appoint Richardson & Patel LLP (Attention: Jody R. Samuels) as agent for
      the service of process in the State of New York to receive, for the undersigned
      and on its behalf, service of process in any Proceeding. If for any reason
      such
      agent is unable to act as such, the undersigned will promptly notify the Company
      and the Underwriters and appoint a substitute agent acceptable to each of the
      Company and the Underwriters within thirty (30) days and nothing in this
      Agreement will affect the right of either party to serve process in any other
      manner permitted by law.

      CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT.

    


    (j) This
      Agreement contains the entire understanding between the parties hereto and
      supersedes in all respects any prior or other agreement or understanding
      concerning the subject matter hereof between the Company and TCT.

    


    (k) This
      Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which will be
      deemed an original, but all of which, taken together, shall be deemed one
      document.

    


    (l) The
      failure of any of the parties hereto to at any time enforce any of the
      provisions of this Agreement shall not be deemed or construed to be a waiver
      of
      any such provision, nor to in any way effect the validity of this Agreement
      or
      any provision of this Agreement. No waiver of any breach, non-compliance or
      non-fulfillment of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be effective
      unless set forth in a written instrument executed by the party or parties
      against whom or which enforcement of such waiver is sought; and no waiver of
      any
      such breach, non-compliance or non-fulfillment shall be construed or deemed
      to
      be a waiver of any other or subsequent breach non-compliance or
      non-fulfillment.

    


    (m) The
      parties hereto hereby acknowledge that the Underwriters, including, without
      limitation the Representatives, are third party beneficiaries of this Agreement
      and this Agreement may not be modified or changed without the prior written
      consent of the Representatives.
