As written, your validation rule will only pass when company has a value 
and  addressType is "CN". I think what you want is more like 
'((addressType == "CN") or (*this* == null))' -- in other words, company 
is valid if it's empty or if addressType is CN. Written this way, 
company can be left empty even if addressType is CN. If company is 
required when addressType is CN, the rule will be a bit more complicated.
