The parties will cooperate in good faith to promptly resolve any such concerns. 3.1. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of paragraphs 2 and 3 above, the parties acknowledge that the Easement Area is currently occupied by a digital sign structure and by a metal sculpture, and the grant of easement made herein is expressly made subject to said sign and sculpture.

Each of the provisions of this easement shall be enforceable independently of any other provision of this easement and independent of any other claim or cause of action. In the event of any dispute arising under this easement, it is agreed between the parties that the law of the State of Iowa will govern the interpretation, validity and effect of this easement without regard to the place of execution or place of performance thereof.
