StrategyDriven may terminate the engagement upon written notice to the Client if it determines that (a) a governmental, regulatory, or professional entity, or an entity having the force of law, has introduced a new, or modified an existing, law, rule, regulation, interpretation, or decision, the result of which would render StrategyDriven’s performance of any part of the engagement illegal or otherwise unlawful or in conflict with independence or professional rules; or (b) circumstances change (including, without limitation, changes in ownership of the Client or any of its affiliates) such that StrategyDriven’s performance of any part of the engagement would be illegal or otherwise unlawful or in conflict with independence or professional rules.

Each of the parties hereby expressly and irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of such courts for the purposes of any such action and expressly and irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection which it may have or hereafter may have to the laying of venue of any such action brought in any such court and any claim that any such action has been brought in an inconvenient forum. If any provision of these terms or the Engagement Agreement is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable, such provision shall not affect the other provisions, but such unenforceable provision shall be deemed modified to the extent necessary to render it enforceable, preserving to the fullest extent permissible the intent of the parties set forth herein.
