parties have determined that such equitable division conforms to a right and just standard
with regard to the rights of each party. The division of existing marital property is not,

without the introduction of outside funds or other property not constituting a part of the
marital estate.

shall not affect in any way the legal affect of this agreement or cause any new marital
rights or obligations to accrue.

shall be determined or declared to be void or invalid in law or otherwise, then only that
term condition, clause or provision shall be stricken from this Agreement and in all other
respects this Agreement shall be valid and continue in full force, effect, and operation.

the paragraphs herein, with exception of the satisfaction of the conditions precedent, shall
in no way void or alter the remaining obligations of the parties.
27. No Waiver of Default: This Agreement shall remain in full force and
effect unless and until terminated under and pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. The
failure of either party to insist upon strict performance of any of the provisions of this
Agreement shall in no way affect the right of such party hereafter to enforce the same,
nor shall the waiver of any breach of any provision hereof be construed as a waiver of
any subsequent default of the same or similar nature, nor shall it be construed as a waiver
of strict performance of any other obligations herein.
28. Integration: This Agreement constitutes the entire understanding of the
parties and supersedes any and all prior agreements and negotiations between them.
There are no representations or warranties other than those expressly set forth herein.
This Agreement shall survive integration by any court into any judgment for divorce and
shall continue to have independent legal significance as a written contract separate from
such judgment for divorce and may be enforced as an independent contract.
29. Effect of Divorce Decree: The parties agree that unless otherwise
specifically provided herein, this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect after
such time as a final Decree in Divorce may be entered with respect to the parties.
30. Waiver or Modification to be in Writing: No modification or waiver of
any of the terms hereof shall be valid unless in writing and signed by both parties and no
waiver of any breach hereof or default hereunder shall be deemed a waiver of any
subsequent default of the same or similar nature.

convenience and for reference and in no way define, limit or describe the scope and intent
of this Agreement, nor in any way effect this Agreement.

in no way void or alter the remaining obligations of the parties.
27. No Waiver of Default: This Agreement shall remain in full force and
effect unless and until terminated under and pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. The
failure of either party to insist upon strict performance of any of the provisions of this
Agreement shall in no way affect the right of such party hereafter to enforce the same,

any subsequent default of the same or similar nature, nor shall it be construed as a waiver
of strict performance of any other obligations herein.
28. Integration: This Agreement constitutes the entire understanding of the
parties and supersedes any and all prior agreements and negotiations between them.
