The failure of either party to insist upon or enforce strict performance by the other party of any provision of this Agreement or to exercise any right under this Agreement will not be construed as a waiver or relinquishment to any extent of such party's right to assert or rely upon any such provision or right in that or any other instance; rather, the same will be and remain in full force and effect. Neither party may assign this Agreement or assign or delegate its rights or obligations under the Agreement without the prior written consent of the other party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
