14. MISCELLANEOUS

(A) Governing Law; Jurisdiction and Venue. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Iowa notwithstanding any conflict of law’s provisions. You irrevocably and unconditionally: (i) consent to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts of Iowa located in Linn County (the “Iowa Courts”) for any litigation or controversy arising out of or relating to these terms, (ii) agree not to commence any litigation arising out of or relating to these terms except in the Iowa Courts and (iii) agree not to plead or claim that such litigation brought therein has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

(B) Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the Order Form, MSA, and any other exhibits or documents incorporated by reference, constitutes the sole and entire agreement between you and ROC-P with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous understandings, agreements, and representations and warranties, both written and oral, with respect to such subject matter. In the event of any inconsistency between the statements made in the body of this Agreement, the MSA, the Order Form, related exhibits, and any other documents incorporated herein by reference, the following order of precedence governs: (i) first, the MSA, excluding its exhibits; (ii) second, the Order Form; (iii) third, any exhibits to the MSA as of the effective date of that document; (iv) fourth, this Agreement; and (v) fifth, any other documents incorporated herein by reference, including, without limitation, the ROC-P Terms and Conditions.

(C) Force Majeure. ROC-P shall not be responsible or liable to you, or deemed in default or breach hereunder, for any failure or delay in performing its obligations under this Agreement, if and to the extent such failure or delay is caused by any circumstances beyond ROC-P’s reasonable control, including but not limited to acts of God, flood, fire, earthquake, explosion, war, terrorism, invasion, riot or other civil unrest, strikes, labor stoppages or slowdowns or other industrial disturbances, or passage of law or any action taken by a governmental or public authority, including imposing an embargo.

(D) Notices. All notices, requests, consents, claims, demands, waivers, and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given: (i) when delivered by hand (with written confirmation of receipt); (ii) when received by the addressee if sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier (receipt requested); (iii) on the date sent by facsimile or email (with confirmation of transmission) if sent during normal business hours of the recipient, and on the next business day if sent after normal business hours of the recipient; or (iv) on the third day after the date mailed, by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid. Such communications must be sent to the respective parties at the addresses set forth on the Order Form (or to such other address as may be designated by a party from time to time in accordance with this section).

(E) Amendment and Modification; Waiver. This Agreement may only be amended, modified, or supplemented by an agreement in writing signed by each party hereto. No waiver by any party of any of the provisions hereof shall be effective unless explicitly set forth in writing and signed by the party so waiving. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, no failure to exercise, or delay in exercising, any right, remedy, power, or privilege arising from this Agreement shall operate or be construed as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power, or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power, or privilege.

(F) Severability. If any term or provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability shall not affect any other term or provision of this Agreement or invalidate or render unenforceable such term or provision in any other jurisdiction. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect their original intent as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

(G) Assignment. You shall not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights, or delegate or otherwise transfer any of its obligations or performance, under this Agreement, in each case whether voluntarily, involuntarily, by operation of law, or otherwise, without ROC-P’s prior written consent, which consent ROC-P may give or withhold in its sole discretion. No delegation or other transfer will relieve you of any of its obligations or performance under this Agreement. Any purported assignment, delegation, or transfer in violation of this section is void. ROC-P may freely assign or otherwise transfer all or any of its rights, or delegate or otherwise transfer all or any of its obligations or performance, under this Agreement without your consent. This Agreement is binding upon and inures to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns.

(H) Equitable Relief. You acknowledge and agree that a breach or threatened breach by you of any of your obligations under this Agreement would cause ROC-P irreparable harm for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy. You agree that, in the event of such breach or threatened breach, ROC-P shall be entitled to equitable relief, including a restraining order, an injunction, specific performance, each of which may be temporary or permanent, and any other relief that may be available from any court, without any requirement to post a bond or other security, or to prove actual damages or that monetary damages are not an adequate remedy. Such remedies are not exclusive and are in addition to all other remedies that may be available at law, in equity, or otherwise.
