8.1

Default

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, an Event of Default shall occur in respect of this Agreement when:

(i)

in the case of an obligation under Section 3 (Agency and Advisory Services)), in all material respects;

(ii)

in the case of an obligation under any other provision of this Agreement, in any material respect, provided that such failure to perform has or could be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect,

which is not cured within ten (10) Business Days from the earlier of (i) the date that such Party receives notice that corrective action is needed and (ii) the date such Party becomes aware of such failure, or if curing such non-compliance reasonably requires more than ten (10) Business Days, then the defaulting Party commences such cure within such ten (10) Business Day period and diligently prosecutes and completes such cure within thirty (30) days thereafter.

(b)	Each Party:

(c)	Nothing in the preceding paragraph limits or excludes any liability for fraud.

17.

AMENDMENT

This Agreement may not be altered, amended, modified or otherwise changed in any respect except in writing duly executed by an authorized representative of each Party and no representations or warranties shall be implied or terms added in the absence of a writing signed by all Parties.

18.

SURVIVAL

(a)

This Section 18 and the following provisions of this Agreement (and any defined terms, Section and/or Schedules referred to in them and/or necessary in order to give effect to them) including all rights and obligations arising under those provisions will survive termination or expiration of this Agreement and shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding termination of this Agreement:

(i)

Sections 20 (Governing Law) and 21 (Enforcement); and

(ii)

the obligations of each Party that are required to take effect on or give effect to termination or the consequences of termination or which by their very nature shall survive termination.

(b)

Termination or expiration of this Agreement shall not affect any rights or obligations that may have accrued prior to termination, including any in respect of antecedent breaches and, for the avoidance of doubt but subject to the terms of this Agreement, any rights or obligations under this Agreement in respect of transactions entered into up to and including the date of termination or expiration of this Agreement.
