10. Governing Law.  

This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the substantive laws of the State of Ohio, without regard to its rules governing conflicts of laws. The parties consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Ohio in Franklin County, and the United States District Court, for the Southern District of Ohio, Eastern Division and waive any contention that any such court is an improper venue for enforcement of this Agreement. Neither party may assert or raise a cause of action, claim, defense or counterclaim against the other party arising under this Agreement, more than one (1) year from the date that same accrued except that a claim by PSI for amounts due hereunder may not be asserted or raised more than two (2) years from the date that same accrued. In the event Customer is in breach, or threatens to breach any covenants of this Agreement, Customer acknowledges and agrees that PSI will be greatly damaged, and such breach(es) will be irreparable and difficult to quantify; therefore, PSI may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction in the United States or any other jurisdiction accepting jurisdiction under this Section 14, who, notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 14 (Governing Law), will apply the laws of its own jurisdiction in determining whether relief shall be granted to PSI, for injunctive or other equitable relief to restrain such breach or threat of breach, temporary or permanent, without impairing, invalidating, negating or voiding PSI's rights to relief either at law or in equity.
