withhold in its sole discretion. For purposes of the preceding sentence, and

performance under this Agreement. Any purported assignment, delegation, or
transfer in violation of this Section 13(e) is void. Licensor may freely assign or

any of its obligations or performance, under this Agreement without Licensee’s

Agreement.
(g) This Agreement may only be amended, modified, or supplemented by an
agreement in writing signed by each party hereto. No waiver by any party of any
of the provisions hereof shall be effective unless explicitly set forth in writing and
signed by the party so waiving. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement,
no failure to exercise, or delay in exercising, any right, remedy, power, or privilege
arising from this Agreement shall operate or be construed as a waiver thereof;
nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power, or privilege
hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any
other right, remedy, power, or privilege.
(h) If any term or provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in
any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability shall not affect any
other term or provision of this Agreement or invalidate or render unenforceable
