Section 4.4 No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. Any failure of any party
hereto 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.

the provisions hereof shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of, and be
enforceable by, the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted
assigns, but neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or

held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable under any applicable law, then such
contravention or invalidity shall not invalidate the entire Agreement. Such
provision shall be deemed to be modified to the extent necessary to render it
legal, valid and enforceable, and if no such modification shall render it legal,
valid and enforceable, then this Agreement shall be construed as if not
containing the provisions held to be invalid, and the rights and obligations of
the parties hereto shall be construed and enforced accordingly.
