Nothing in this ss.6.16, however, shall affect the right of any Party to bring any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any other court or to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by law or in equity. Each Party agrees that a final judgment in any action or proceeding so brought shall be conclusive and may be enforced by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law or in equity. 11 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Parties hereto have executed this Agreement on as of the date first above written.

This Escrow Agreement may not be amended except by a written agreement executed by the Buyer, the Controlling Shareholders and the Escrow Agent. 6.7 This Escrow Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Nebraska, without regard to conflicts of law principles. 17 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed and delivered this Escrow Agreement as of the date first written above.
