of the transactions contemplated hereby.



 


		(b)	Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement will be interpreted in such manner
as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable
in any respect under any applicable law or rule in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability will not affect
any other provision or any other jurisdiction, but this Agreement will be reformed, construed, and enforced in such jurisdiction as if
such invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.



 


		(c)	Complete Agreement. This Agreement and any other agreements ancillary thereto and executed and
delivered on the date hereof embody the complete agreement and understanding between the parties and supersede and preempt any prior understandings,
agreements, or representations by or among the parties, written or oral, which may have related to the subject matter hereof in any way.



 


		(d)	Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in separate counterparts, each of which is deemed
to be an original and all of which taken together constitute one and the same agreement.



 


		(e)	Assignment; Successors and Assigns. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or
obligations hereunder shall be assigned, in whole or in part, by either of the parties without the prior written consent of the other
party. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Seller and the
Company and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Any purported assignment not permitted under this paragraph shall be null
and void.



 


		(f)	No Third Party Beneficiaries or Other Rights. This Agreement is for the sole benefit of the parties
and their successors and permitted assigns and nothing herein express or implied shall give or shall be construed to confer any legal
or equitable rights or remedies to any person other than the parties to this Agreement and such successors and permitted assigns.



 






     


     


    

 


		(g)	Governing Law; Jurisdiction. The Agreement and all disputes arising out of or related to this agreement
(whether in contract, tort or otherwise) will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas. EACH OF
THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED
TO THIS AGREEMENT. Each of the parties (i) irrevocably submits to the personal jurisdiction of any state or federal court sitting in Dallas,
Texas, as well as to the jurisdiction of all courts to which an appeal may be taken from such courts, in any suit, action or proceeding
relating to or arising out of, under or in connection with this Agreement, (ii) agrees that all claims in respect of such suit, action
or proceeding, whether arising under contract, tort or otherwise, shall be brought, heard and determined exclusively in the Northern District
of Texas (provided that, in the event that subject matter jurisdiction is unavailable in that court, then all such claims shall be brought,
heard and determined exclusively in any other state or federal court sitting in Dallas, Texas), (iii) agrees that it shall not attempt
to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from such court, and (iv) agrees not to bring any action
or proceeding relating to or arising out of, under or in connection with this Agreement or
the Company’s business or affairs in any other court, tribunal, forum or proceeding. Each of the parties waives any defense of inconvenient
forum to the maintenance of any action or proceeding brought in accordance with this paragraph. Each of the parties agrees that service
of any process, summons, notice or document by U.S. registered mail to its address set forth herein shall be effective service of process
for any action, suit or proceeding brought against it in accordance with this paragraph, provided that nothing in the foregoing sentence
shall affect the right of any party to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by law.



 


		(h)	Mutuality of Drafting. The parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of
this Agreement. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as jointly
drafted by the parties, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship
of any provision of the Agreement.



 


		(i)	Federal Income Taxes. The U.S. federal income tax and any other tax consequences to the Seller
of the sale, assignment, transfer, and conveyance of the Repurchase Shares shall be the sole responsibility and liability of the Seller.



 


		(j)	Amendment and Waiver. The provisions of this Agreement may be amended, modified or waived only
with the prior written consent of the Seller and the Company. No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed or
shall constitute a waiver of any other provisions of this Agreement, nor shall any waiver constitute a continuing waiver. Moreover, no
failure by any party to insist upon strict performance of any of the provisions of this Agreement or to exercise any right or remedy arising
out of a breach thereof shall constitute a waiver of any other provisions or any other breaches of this Agreement.



 


		(k)	Further Assurances. Each of the parties shall execute and deliver such additional documents and
instruments and shall take such further action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate fully the provisions of this Agreement.



 


		(l)	Expenses. Each of the parties shall bear their own expenses in connection with the drafting, negotiation,
execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.
