5.           Corporate Authority, Good Standing.  Each of the Parties warrants and represents that it has legal authorization to enter into and to perform this Agreement.







6.           Governing Law and Arbitration and Miscellaneous. This Agreement shall be governed by  Utah law without reference to any “conflicts-of-laws” provisions and any dispute concerning the subject matter hereof, if not resolved by Arbitration shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction, and RF and Agricon respectively submit to the jurisdiction, of courts sitting in Utah.  Each of the foregoing agrees to submit any dispute hereunder to non-binding arbitration using commercial rules of the American Arbitration Association and using only one arbitrator sitting in Utah and only after an unreasonable and unjustified delay by any one of the foregoing  after a hearing on the dispute and rendering of a decision by the Arbitrator may the non-delaying party in the first instance or any other  party in the second instance seek judicial relief for any claim under this Agreement or dealing with the subject matter hereof.  This Agreement contains the entire agreement of the Parties regarding the subject matter of this Agreement, and there are no other promises or conditions in any other agreement whether oral or written.  The Parties have attempted to limit the non-competition provision so that it applies only to the extent necessary to protect legitimate business and property interests.  If any provision of this Agreement shall be held to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason, the remaining provisions shall continue to be valid and enforceable.  If a court finds that any provision of this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable, but that by limiting such provision it would become valid and enforceable, then such provision shall be deemed to be written, construed, and enforced as so limited.












7.           Confidentiality.  The Parties agree to keep the terms and substance of this Agreement (including but not limited to any amounts of money paid pursuant thereto), and any of the underlying facts confidential and to refrain from disclosing the same at any future time, or to any other individual or entity whatsoever, except as Agricon may be required to report to the SEC and publicly disclose concerning this transaction and/or file with the SEC a copy of this Agreement.
