	5.	Any and all assignments of this Agreement or any interest herein not made in accordance with this Section XIII will be void ab initio. 


 

	6.	This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same

remedy of any nature whatsoever. 

  

	14.	The waiver by either Party of a breach or a default of any provision of this Agreement by the other Party shall not be construed as a waiver of any succeeding breach of
the same or any other provision, nor shall any delay or omission on the part of either Party to exercise or avail itself of any right, power or privilege that it has or may have hereunder operate as a waiver of any right, power or privilege by such
Party. 

  

	15.	Each Party shall keep the confidential information of the other Party confidential, except that the receiving Party may disclose or permit the disclosure of any
confidential information to its, and its Affiliates’, directors, officers, employees, consultants and advisors who are obligated to maintain the confidential nature of such confidential information and who need to know such information for the

requirement of any government agency; or any other event beyond the reasonable control of the Parties, the affected Party, upon giving prompt notice to the other Party, will be excused from such performance to the extent of such prevention,
restriction, or interference. However, the affected Party will use its reasonable efforts to avoid or remove such cause of non-performance or to limit the impact of the event on such Party’s performance and will continue performance with the
utmost dispatch whenever such causes are removed.
