13.       Entire Agreement

      
      
      This Agreement shall constitute the entire agreement between the Parties concerning the subject matter of this Agreement. All prior discussions and agreements previously conducted between the parties

any provision of this Agreement is held to be unenforceable for any reason,
other than in any provision set forth in § 2 or in § 3 of this Agreement,
it shall be adjusted or reformed rather than voided, if possible, to achieve
the intent of the Parties to this Agreement. In any event, the invalidity or
unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement in any jurisdiction shall
not affect the validity or enforceability of the remainder of this Agreement
in that jurisdiction or the validity or enforceability of this Agreement, including
that provision, in any other competent jurisdiction. 

      
      
      16.2. If any provision set forth in § 2 or in § 3 of this Agreement is held to be unenforceable for any reasons, then the entire
Agreement is hereby unenforceable and void ab initio. 

17.       Waiver

      
      
      The failure of any party to insist on strict compliance with this Agreement, or to

 

	CONFIDENTIAL 	 
	COMMUTATION AGREEMENT 

exercise any right or remedy under this Agreement, shall not constitute a waiver of any rights contained in this Agreement nor estop the parties from subsequently demanding full and complete compliance nor prevent the parties from
exercising such a remedy in the future. 

18.       Counterparts

      
      
      This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
