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.

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.
