No waiver of any breach of this

Agreement shall be held to be a waiver of any other or subsequent breach. Nothing shall constitute, or have the effect of, a waiver except an instrument in writing signed by a duly authorized officer or agent of the Party against whom such waiver is sought to be enforced and which expressly, and not impliedly, waives a right or rights hereunder.

Section 13.7 Counterparts. This Agreement may be signed in counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument.
