The provisions of this letter are legally binding between DPL and RTK and the Guarantor.  Unless otherwise defined, capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Agreement, and unless expressly amended in this letter, all terms of the Agreement shall remain fully effective and shall have effect as though the provisions contained in this letter had been originally contained in the Agreement.   Each Party reserves all other rights or remedies it may have now or in the future and nothing in this letter shall be deemed to be a waiver by either Party of, or consent by us to, any breach or potential breach (present or future) of any provision of the Agreement.
