ongoing waiver. Any waiver by either party of any provisions of this Agreement of any
right or operation hereunder, shall not be controlling nor shall it prevent or estop such party
from thereafter enforcing such provision, right, or option and the failure of either party to
insist in any one or more instances upon the strict performance of any of the terms or

in divorce may be entered with respect to the parties. The parties agree that the terms of
