                    Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be
                    interpreted
                    in such a manner as to be effective and valid under applicable

                    provision of this Agreement shall be or become prohibited or
                    invalid in
                    whole or in part for any reason whatsoever, that provision shall
                    be
                    ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity
                    without
                    invalidating the remaining portion of that provision or the remaining
                    provisions of this
                    Agreement.

                

        

      

    

     

    
      
        
          	6.6	
                  Non-Waiver.
                    The waiver of any Party of a breach or a violation of any provision
                    of
                    this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver
                    of any
                    subsequent breach or violation of any provision of this
                    Agreement.

                

        

      

    

     

    
      
        
          	6.7	
                  Amendment.
                    No amendment or modification of this Agreement shall be deemed
                    effective
                    unless and until it has been executed in writing by the Parties
                    to this
                    Agreement. No term or condition of this Agreement shall be deemed
                    to have
                    been waived, nor shall there be any estoppel to enforce any provision
                    of
                    this Agreement, except by a written instrument that has been
                    executed by
                    the Party charged with such waiver or

                the
                restoration of Property to a tenable condition. If in Landlord’s sole
                discretion restoration cannot be completed within 180 days following
                such
                destruction, Landlord may, by written notice furnished to Tenant

                such restoration, but fails to do so within 180 days following such
                destruction, this Lease may be terminated as of the date of such
                destruction upon written notice from either party to the other given
                not
                more than ten days following expiration of said 180 day period. If
                such
                notice is not given, then this Lease shall remain in force and rent
                shall

                Property
                have been damaged and Landlord shall restore Property as reasonably

                of each calendar year or as soon as practicable thereafter, Landlord
                will

                the basis
                of those statements, Tenant owes an amount that is less than the
                estimated
                payments for the calendar year previously made by the
                Tenant, Landlord will pay Tenant the amount of the overpayment within
                30
                days after delivery of those statements. If on the basis of those
                statement Tenant owes an amount that is more than the estimated payments
                for such calendar year previously made by Tenant, Tenant will pay
                the
                deficiency to Landlord within 30 days after delivery of those statements.
                If the Lease commences on a day other than the first day of the calendar
                year or ends on a day other than the last day of a calendar year,
                the
                amounts payable under this subparagraph shall be
                prorated.
