to comply with any obligation, covenant, agreement or condition herein may be
waived by any other party hereto entitled to the benefit thereof only by a
written instrument signed by each party granting such waiver, but such waiver or
failure to insist upon strict compliance with such obligation, representation,
warranty, covenant, agreement or condition shall not operate as a waiver of or
estoppel with respect to any subsequent or other failure. The rights, remedies,
powers and privileges herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any
rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.
