The whole purpose is not to end up in the Bronx, or in family court in Albany. Richard, do you have a view on this?

Currently, (with appropriate GC approval) we can specify United States District Court for the Southern District of New York sitting in New York County ("USDCSDNY") or the Commercial Division, Civil Branch of the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in New York County. In-house counsel for Chase Securities Inc. would not accept this provision without a caveat that if a judge of the specified state court determined that some other branch or division of such court sitting in NY County should have jurisdiction, we had to accept jurisdiction in the other branch or division. Rather than risk ending up in an unacceptable forum, both sides agreed to limit jurisdiction to the USDCSDNY. I believe Joel may have checked earlier this year on New York courts with a V&E litigator in New York. If so, we might want to get further guidance on this point. Regards, NJD Nora J.
