of a different character.

3. Any company which shall succeed by purchase, merger or

hereunder are subject to all present and future valid laws, orders, rules and

regulations of constituted authorities having jurisdiction over the parties,

Neither party shall be held in default for failure to perform hereunder if

such failure is due to compliance with laws, orders, rules or regulations of

any such duly constituted authorities.

inserted for the purpose of convenient reference and are not intended to be a

hereto as a result of any responsibility either party may have had for

drafting this Agreement.
