The failure of either party to enforce at any time or for any period of time any provision of the Agreement (as amended by Amendment One) shall not be construed as a waiver of such provision or of the right of such party thereafter to enforce such provision. In the event of any conflict between the meaning of the terms and conditions of the Amended Agreement and Amendment One, the terms and conditions set forth in Amendment One shall govern.

7.Counterparts. This Amendment One may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed will be deemed an original, and all of which together, shall constitute one and the same agreement.

Company will pay those damages finally awarded against BMI in any monetary settlement of such suit or action and all associated costs that are specifically attributable to such claim.
