causes whether or not of the same class or kind of those specifically above named which are not within the control of

against.

interest, in all products (and all proceeds from the sale of such products by Purchaser) sold by ROMEO RIM to

any legal suit, action, or proceeding hereunder shall be brought and resolved exclusively by the State and Federal

courts located in Macomb County, Michigan, and the courts to which an appeal therefrom may be taken; provided

that any party shall have the right, to the extent permitted by applicable law, to proceed against any other party or its

property in any other location to the extent necessary for the enforcing party to enforce a judgment or other court

No Waiver. The failure of ROMEO RIM to insist, in any one or more instances, upon the performance of any of the

terms, covenants, or conditions of the Agreement or to exercise any right thereunder shall not be construed as a

waiver or relinquish of the future performance of any such term, covenant or condition or the future exercise of such

rights, nor shall it be deemed to be a waiver or relinquishment of any other terms, covenant, or condition, or the

exercise of any other rights under the Agreement.

Garbled Transmissions. If any sales quote or other transaction document transmitted by facsimile is received in an

ambiguous, unintelligible or garbled form, Purchaser shall promptly notify ROMEO RIM in a reasonable manner. In

the absence of such a notice, ROMEO RIM’s records of the contents of such document shall control.

Validity and Enforceability of Faxed Documents. The conduct of ROMEO RIM and Purchaser pursuant to this

Agreement, including the use of documents transmitted by facsimile to initiate and accept sales orders, shall, for legal

purposes, evidence a course of dealing and a course of performance accepted by the parties. Facsimile copies of

signed documents, if introduced as evidence in any judicial, arbitration, medication or administrative proceedings,

shall be admissible as between the parties to the same extent and under the same conditions as original business

records. Neither party shall contest the admissibility of facsimile copies of documents under the best evidence rule,

nor otherwise on the basis that the documents are not the original form of such documents.

Severability. In the event that any provision hereof shall be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, it shall not affect the

legality, validity or enforceability of any other provision hereof and such illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision

shall be interpreted and modified by the parties so as to eliminate such illegality, invalidity and/or unenforceability.
