8.1                                 Hardship.  In entering into this Agreement, the Parties recognize that it is practically impossible to make provisions for every contingency which may arise during the validity of this Agreement.  Accordingly, the Parties hereby state and acknowledge their mutual intent that this Agreement shall be enforced and implemented between them with fairness and without detriment to either party’s interest, and that if, in the course of performing the obligations and duties as set forth in this Agreement, substantial hardship or unfairness is anticipated by or has occurred to either party, the Parties shall use their best commercial endeavors to agree upon such action as may be necessary to rectify or remove the causes thereof, and, if deemed necessary, compensate for disadvantages suffered.

8.2                                 Waiver.  The failure of either party to enforce at any time any part of this Agreement, or the failure of either party to require at any time performance by the other party of any part of this Agreement, shall in no way constitute a present or future waiver thereof, nor
