8.7 Amendments. Any term of this Agreement may be amended only with the written consent of the Company and the Investor.
8.8 Delays or Omissions. No delay or omission to exercise any right, power, or remedy accruing to any Party, upon any breach or default of any other Party under this Agreement, shall impair any such right, power, or remedy of such Party, nor shall it be construed to be a waiver of any such breach or default, or an acquiescence therein, or of any similar breach of default thereafter occurring; nor shall any waiver of any other breach or default theretofore or thereafter occurring. Any waiver, permit, consent, or approval of any kind or character of any breach or default under this Agreement or any waiver thereof, must be in writing and shall be effective only to the extent specifically set forth in such writing.

8.13 Further Assurances. Each Party shall from time to time and at all times hereafter make, do, execute, or cause or procure to be made, done, and executed such further acts, deeds, conveyances, consents, and assurances without further consideration, which may reasonably be required to effect the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
