17.10 Absence of Waiver

No indulgence or oversight on the part of either of the parties with respect to a default by the other party in the performance of any of its obligations under this Lease shall be considered to be a waiver of the Landlord’s rights or of the Tenant’s rights hereunder with regard to the default or to any subsequent default; neither shall it affect or modify in any manner whatsoever the Landlord’s rights or the Tenant’s rights hereunder with regard to the subsequent default; and no waiver may be inferred from any act or omission by the Landlord or by the Tenant, unless the waiver is in writing.
