Each of the Parties further agrees that service of any process, summons, notice or document by United States registered mail or receipted courier service to such Party’s respective address set forth in Section 11.4 of this Agreement shall be effective service of process for any action, suit or proceeding in the Texas Courts with respect to any matters to which it has submitted to jurisdiction in this Section 11.11. Each of the Parties irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection to the laying of venue of any such action, suit or proceeding in the Texas Courts, and hereby further irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such action, suit or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.
