(g) Assignability. Neither this Agreement nor any right, remedy, obligation or liability arising hereunder or by reason hereof shall be assignable by either the Company or Investor without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto, which may not be unreasonably withheld provided that such Assignment is to an Affiliate.

 

(h) Amendments. Neither this Agreement nor any term or provision hereof may be amended, modified, waived or supplemented orally, but only by a written consent executed by the parties hereto.

 

(i) Publicity. The Company and the Investor shall have the right to review a reasonable period of time before issuance of any press releases, SEC, Trading Market or FINRA filings, or any other public statements with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby; provided, however, that each of the Company and Investor shall be entitled, without the prior approval of the other party, to make any press release or SEC, Trading Market or FINRA filings with respect to such transactions as is required by applicable law and regulations (although the other party shall be consulted by the disclosing party in connection with any such press release prior to its release and shall be provided with a copy thereof and be given an opportunity to comment thereon).

(j) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas without regard to the principles of conflict of laws. The parties further agree that any action between them shall be heard exclusively in federal or state court sitting in the Collin County, Texas.

 

(k) Severability. If any provision of this Agreement shall be invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remainder of this Agreement in that jurisdiction or the validity or enforceability of any provision of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction.

 

(l) Survival. Unless this Agreement is terminated under Section 7(n), the representations and warranties of the Company and the Investor contained in Sections 3 and 4, the agreements and covenants set forth in Sections 5 and 7 shall survive the Closing for a period of twelve (12) months following the later of the date on which (x) the Note is repaid in full or converted into Note Conversion Shares in their entirety as provided in the Transaction Documents or (y) the Warrants are exercised in full; provided, however, that such representations and warranties shall in no way be affected by any investigation or knowledge of the subject matter thereof made by or on behalf of the Investor or the Company.

 

(m) Further Assurances. Each party shall do and perform, or cause to be done and performed, all such further acts and things, and shall execute and deliver all such other agreements, certificates, instruments and documents, as the other party may reasonably request in order to carry out the intent and accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

 

(n) Termination. In the event that the Closing shall not have occurred on or before July 1, 2022 due to the Company’s or the Investor’s failure to satisfy the conditions set forth in Sections 5 and 6 above (and the non-breaching party’s failure to waive such unsatisfied condition(s)), the non-breaching party shall have the option to terminate this Agreement with respect to such breaching party by providing five (5) days’ written notice to such breaching party of the non-breaching party’s intent to terminate this Agreement (and if the non-breaching party is the Buyer, to also withdraw its subscription) at the close of business on such date without liability of any party to any other party.

 

(o) No Strict Construction. The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no rules of strict construction will be applied against any party.

 

(p) Remedies. In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages, the Investor and the Company will be entitled to specific performance under this Agreement. The parties agree that monetary damages may not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of any breach of obligations described in the foregoing sentence and hereby agree to waive in any action for specific performance of any such obligation the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.
