Upon termination of this Agreement, Textron shall prepare an accounting and reconciliation of the use and replenishment by Licensee of the bulk fuel storage facility and the applicable party shall reimburse the other for the actual purchase price of any fuel used or to be used by it but not paid for.

In addition Licensee shall reimburse Textron for any applicable travel, food or lodging expenses of any such pilot, incurred in accordance with Textron’s corporate aviation travel policy except as may be otherwise authorized by Licensee.

15. NO WAIVER
The failure of Textron to seek redress for violation of, or to insist upon the strict performance of, any covenant or condition of this Agreement shall not be deemed a waiver of such violation nor prevent a subsequent act, which would have originally constituted a violation, from having all the force and effect of any original violation. The receipt by Textron of fees with knowledge of the breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not be deemed to have been a waiver by Textron of such breach, or by Licensee, any such waiver shall not be valid unless such waiver by in writing, signed by the party to be charged.
