The  failure  of either  party at any time to          require the  performance  by a party of any provision of this Agreement          shall in no way  affect the right to  require  performance  at any time          after  such  failure.  The  waiver of  either  party of a breach of any          provision  of this  Agreement  shall not be taken to be a waiver of any          succeeding  breach of the  provision  or as a waiver  of the  provision          itself.

17.      Attorney's  Fees.  In the event  either  party is required to institute          litigation to enforce any provision of this  Agreement,  the prevailing          party in such  litigation  shall  be  entitled  to  recover  all  costs          including without limitation,  reasonable  attorney's fees and expenses          incurred in connection with such enforcement and collection.
