                  any right hereunder of any failure to perform or breach hereof
                  by the other party shall not constitute or be deemed as a
                  waiver of any other right hereunder or of any other failure to
                  perform or breach hereof by any such other party hereto,
                  whether of a similar or dissimilar nature thereto.

                  12.08    Survival of Rights, Duties and Obligations

                  Termination of this Agreement for any cause shall not release
                  either party from any liability which at the time of
                  termination has already accrued to the other party or which
                  thereafter may accrue in respect of any act or omission prior
                  to such termination. No shall any such termination of this
                  Agreement affect in any way the survival of any right, duty or
                  obligation of either party which is expressly stated elsewhere
                  in this Agreement to survive termination hereof any ASSOCIATED
                  AGREEMENT.
