vital part of Seller’s agreement to sell to Buyer. By agreeing to
venue in Houston, Harris County, Texas, Buyer fully intends to waive its
rights, if any, to venue in any place other than Houston, Harris County,

partial release for those funds received and never otherwise. This paragraph
cannot be waived or modified except in writing in advance.
