to insist upon strict adherence to any term of this Agreement on one or more occasions will not be considered a waiver or deprive
that party of the right thereafter to insist upon adherence to such term of any other term of this Agreement.

the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court. Each party to this Agreement
irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices herein. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the
right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. Each party hereto hereby waives, to
the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any right it may have to a trial by jury in any legal proceeding directly or indirectly
arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (whether based on contract, tort or any other
