	 	 	commitment of any nature whatsoever other than as expressly set out herein and, to the
extent that it has been, it unconditionally and irrevocably waives any claims, rights or

provisions to the parties shall be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be contrary to law,
the remaining portions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

a waiver of any subsequent breach of the same or any other provisions.
	 
	15.6.	 	This Agreement may be reproduced in any number of counterparts on each when executed shall be
construed as an original.
	 
	15.7.	 	Neither party shall be liable to the other for any indirect or consequential loss or for any

be excluded or limited.
	 
	15.8.	 	Save as expressly otherwise provided in this Agreement each of the parties shall bear its own
legal, accountancy and other costs, charges and expenses connected with the negotiation,
