courts (and of the appropriate appellate courts therefrom) in any such suit, action or proceeding and irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding in any such court or that any such suit, action or proceeding which is brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

9.10    Entire Agreement.  This Agreement, together with its Schedules and the agreements and instruments expressly provided for herein, including the applicable terms of the other Joint Venture Documents, constitute the entire agreement of the Parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements, amendments and understandings, oral and written, between the Parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof, provided that, in the event that any right, obligation or other provision of this Agreement conflicts with any right, obligation or provision of that certain Waiver and Consent Side Letter Agreement, entered into by and between the Parties and effective October 11, 2012, as amended, the Waiver and Consent Side Letter Agreement shall prevail, and the Parties shall conduct their affairs to give effect to such rights, obligations or provisions as are set forth in the Waiver and Consent Side Letter Agreement.
9.11    Severability.  Should any provision of this Agreement be deemed in contradiction with the laws of any jurisdiction in which it is to be performed or unenforceable for any reason, such provision shall be deemed null and void, but this Agreement shall remain in full force in all other respects.  Should any provision of this Agreement be or become ineffective because of changes in Applicable Laws or interpretations thereof, or should this Agreement fail to include a provision that is required as a matter of law, the validity of the other provisions of this Agreement shall not be affected thereby.  If such circumstances arise, the Parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith appropriate modifications to this Agreement to reflect those changes that are required by Applicable Law.
