upon a strict performance or observation of any of the terms, provisions, or
covenants as the aforesaid Agreement or to exercise any right therein contained

of any such term, provision, covenant or right, but the same shall continue and
remain in full force and effect.

          c. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of
the parties hereto and to their heirs, devises, legatees, personal
