Section 12.

In any of such events of default, the non-defaulting party may give to the defaulting party notice of intention to terminate this Contract after the expiration of a period of 30 days from the date of such notice, and upon the expiration of such period this Contract shall terminate. If, however, upon receipt of such notice, the defaulting party shall promptly and with due diligence cure the default, or take and continue to take action to cure such default with all due diligence, if such default is not susceptible of being cured within such 30 day period, then such notice shall be no force and effect. The rights granted under this Contract shall not be in substitution for, but shall be in addition to, any and all other rights and remedies for breach of contract available to the nondefaulting party under the applicable law.
