distribution, counsel fees, costs, maintenance of insurance, equitable relief or property settlement
6
or with regard to any other provision hereof. In the event that any final order of court is entered

the parties, and there are no representations, warranties, covenants or undertakings other than
those expressly set forth herein.

provisions of this Agreement shall be effective only if made in writing and executed with the
same formality as this Agreement. The failure of either party to insist upon strict performance of
any of the provisions of this Agreement, shall not be construed as a waiver or any subsequent
default of the same or similar nature.

convenience only. They shall have no effect whatsoever in determining the rights or obligations
of the parties.
24. IRREVOCABILITY. It is understood and agreed to by and between the
