required to be maintained by any regulatory agency.

         14.4 Legal Remedies.  It is understood and agreed
that  no failure or delay by any party in exercising any right,
power, or privilege hereunder will operate as a waiver thereof,
nor will any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any
other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other
right, power, or privilege hereunder.  It is further understood
and agreed that money damages will not be a sufficient remedy for
any breach of this Section 13 by either party or any employees,
agents, consultants or representatives of that party and that the
other party will be entitled to equitable relief, including
injunctive relief and specific performance, as a remedy for any
such breach of this Agreement.
