other party.

provision hereof or of any terms or conditions established by
Company will be effective unless in writing and signed by the party
against which enforcement of the waiver is sought. Company will not
waive or impair any right, power, or option this Agreement reserves
(including, without limitation, its right to demand strict
compliance with every term, condition, and covenant or to declare
any breach to be a default and to terminate this Agreement before
the term expires) because of any custom or practice varying from

disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any of the
provisions of this Agreement. No provision of this Agreement shall
be construed against any party on the grounds that such party or
its counsel drafted that provision.
