  1. In light of the entire instrument, the dependence or independence of covenants or conditions must be determined from the intention of the parties. If the conditions are dependent, the failure of the person first required to act shall be an excuse to the other party for failing to comply; if the conditions are independent, no such excuse shall avail. The law favors conditions to be independent.
