the City of Carlsbad have settled this lawsuit. The parties hereto

any breach hereof, can be waived unless in writing. Waiver of any

agreement of the parties as to the onsite improvements portion of
the water system. Where possible, all four related agreements shall

intent to construct a complete water system for the subdivision.

and the related agreements, contain the entire understanding and
agreement of the parties as to the construction of the complete water
system for the subdivision, and supersede all prior agreements,
statements, discussions, representations and understandings pertaining
to that water system.
