It is agreed by Hydron that any such election of remedies does not waive any other remedies for breach of contract available to the Dolphins.
   3.3 Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, including Exhibit "A", each of the parties shall pay its own expenses of performing its obligations under this Agreement.
   4. USE OF MARKS
   4.1 Hydron and the Dolphins may use the name, logos, colors, trademarks, service marks, or other identifying features ("Marks") of the other, as specifically contemplated in connection with the Sponsorship Rights, subject to any limitations set forth in this Agreement.
